Abstract

Abstract Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by total or partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage of the right lung to the inferior vena cava. We present a seven year old girl with a systolic murmur who was diagnosed as having a Scimitar syndrome with unusual drainage of the right pulmonary veins. The unique technique of surgery in this patient was appropriate to the unusual, previously not described anatomy.

Abstract

Open in new tab Download slide Open in new tab Download slide OBJECTIVES Currently, Contegra® grafts (processed bovine jugular vein conduits) are widely used for reconstructive surgery of the right ventricular outflow tract in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). We analysed explanted Contegra conduits from 2 institutions histologically to get a possible hint at the underlying pathomechanisms of degenerative alterations and to find histological correlations of graft failure. Additionally, we compared the explants with a non-implanted processed graft and a native jugular vein obtained from a young bull. METHODS The explanted Contegra grafts were gathered during reoperations of 13 patients (male: n  = 9, 69.2%; female: n  = 4, 30.8%). After standardized histological preparation, samples were stained with dyes haematoxylin and eosin and Elastica van Gieson. Additionally, X-ray pictures revealed the extent of calcification and chelaplex (III)-descaling agent was used to decalcify selected explants. RESULTS Processing of the native jugular vein leads to tissue loosening and a loss of elastic fibres. For graft failure after implantation, 2 pathomechanisms were identified: original graft alteration as well as intimal hyperplasia. Elastica degeneration and rearrangement with interfibrillary matrix structures were the main developments observed within the graft itself. Intimal hyperplasia was characterized by fibrous tissue apposition, calcification and heterotopic ossification. CONCLUSIONS Regression of the elastic fibre network leads to rigidification of the conduit. In Contegra grafts, atherosclerosis-like changes can be considered the leading cause of graft stenosis and insufficiency. We conclude that both observed mechanisms lead to early reoperation in CHD patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

142. Guz lewej komory wykryty w badaniu echokardiograficznym u 17-letniej dziewczyny

Subjects
cardiovascular system, echocardiography, primary cardiac tumour
Abstract

A 17-year-old girl without any cardiac symptoms and with no previous history of cardiovascular disease was diagnosed to have an intracardiac tumour. The diagnosis was made by chance during two-dimensional echocardiography which showed a mobile, peduncular tumour, 2 cm in diameter, arising from the apex of the left ventricle. The patient underwent successful surgery.

143. Temporary Tracheal Stenting After Pulmonary Artery Sling Repair in a Newborn

Author

Lueck, Sabrina, Mohr, Michael, Werner, Claudius, Schmidt, Christoph, Malec, Edward, and Januszewska, Katarzyna

Abstract

Pulmonary artery sling (PAS) is a rare disease frequently associated with severe malacia and stenosis of the trachea. We present a two-day-old newborn that underwent urgent surgery for PAS and needed prolonged respiratory support afterward. Temporary airway stenting above the level of the tracheal bifurcation was performed five days after surgery to overcome severe airway obstruction caused by tracheomalacia and laceration of the tracheal mucosa after diagnostic bronchoscopy. Two days after the procedure, the child could be extubated and after two weeks the stent was removed without complications. Temporary tracheal stenting after PAS repair can be an effective therapeutic strategy in newborns with tracheal obstruction and allows timely weaning from ventilator support.
