Abstract

We assessed the influence of clinically significant mitral regurgitation (MR) on clinical-echocardiographic response and outcome in heart failure (HF) patients treated with a biventricular defibrillator (cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator [CRT-D]). METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 659 HF patients underwent successful implantation of CRT-D and were enrolled in a multicenter prospective registry (median follow-up of 15 months). Following baseline echocardiographic evaluation, patients were stratified into two groups according to the severity of MR: 232 patients with more than mild MR (Group MR+: grade 2, 3, and 4 MR) versus 427 patients with mild (grade 1) or no functional MR (Group MR-). On 6- and 12-month echocardiographic evaluation, MR was seen to have improved in the vast majority of MR+ patients, while it remained unchanged in most MR- patients. On 12-month follow-up evaluation, a comparable response to CRT was observed in the two groups, in terms of the extent of left ventricular reverse remodeling and combined clinical and echocardiographic response. During long-term follow-up, event-free survival did not differ between MR+ and MR- patients, even when subpopulations of patients with ischemic heart disease and with dilated cardiomyopathy were analyzed separately. On multivariate analysis, the only independent predictor of death from any cause was the lack of β-blocker use. CONCLUSIONS: This observational analysis supports the use of CRT-D in HF patients with clinically significant MR; MR had no major influence on patient outcome.

Abstract

Hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a primary tumor with mesenchymal vascular origin that represents 1% of all vascular neoplasm. HPC develops from the Zimmerman's pericytes around capillaries venules and it is possible to observe it frequently in the extremities, pelvis, retroperitoneum, head, neck and meninges. The only definitive parameter of malignancy is the development of recurrence or distant metastases. This report describes a case of symptomatic retroperitoneal HPC in a young female patient treated by surgical complete removal of the mass, and literature review. Despite the relatively simple surgical management of retroperitoneal Hemangiopericytoma, its diagnosis still remains difficult and often is incidentally. Patients should undergo a close long-term follow up, by periodic CT scan, due to the high probability of local recurrence or distant metastases that can occur also many years after surgery.Hemangiopericytoma (HPC), Retroperitoneum, Surgery.L’emangiopericitoma è un tumore primario di origine vascolare mesenchimale che rappresenta l’1% di tutte le neoplasie vascolari. Questa neoplasia si sviluppa dai periciti di Zimmerman intorno ai capillari venosi ed è possibile osservarla frequentemente a carico delle estremità, della pelvi, del retroperitoneo, del capo, del collo e delle meningi. L’unico parametro di malignità è lo svilupparsi di recidive o di metastasi a distanza. Questo report descrive un caso di emangiopericitoma retroperitoneale sintomatico in una giovane paziente trattata chirurgicamente con la rimozione completa della massa, e la revisione della letteratura. Nonostante la gestione chirurgica relativamente semplice dell’emangiopericitoma retroperitoneale, la sua diagnosi rimane ancora difficile e spesso è incidentale. I pazienti dovrebbero essere sottoposti ad uno stretto programma di follow up, con TC periodiche, per l’alta probabilità di recidive locali o metastasi a distanza che possono osservarsi anche molti anni dopo la chirurgia.

13. [Contribution of intraoperative radiotherapy in the control of local recurrences of rectal cancer].

Abstract

Local recurrence (LR) is a major problem following curative resection of rectal cancer. Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is considered an ideal boost technique for increasing the dose of radiation therapy within a restricted area without introducing a significant toxicity. The aim of this study is to present the results of a multimodality treatment containing external beam irradiation, chemotherapy, surgical resection, and IORT delivered by a movable linear accelerator (NOVAC7, Hitesys SpA, Italia), employed in a "traditional" operating room.

Abstract

A traumatic abdominal wall hernia is an unusual injury that may follow various types of blunt trauma. Differing patterns of muscular and fascial disruption can occur due to the different types of force involved as well as the tensile properties of the various areas in the abdominal wall. The anatomical defects which thus occur, therefore vary from small tears to large disruptions. A surgical repair is not always straightforward, and therefore close attention must be paid to such factors as the size and site of the defect, any associated intra-abdominal injuries, and the timing of repair, in order to achieve the best surgical repair. We consider the role of a computed tomography scan in the diagnosis of the muscular defects and associated injuries to be very important. Mesh repair offers an advantage in preventing recurrence in the presence of large defects, but strict criteria in their use must be followed, as the presence of hollow viscus injuries is an absolute contraindication to the use of mesh.

Abstract

Colon cancer is the second leading cause of death for cancer disease, after lung cancer, with nearly 18,000 deaths per year in Italy. In spite of the progress that have taken place over the past 30 years, little improvement has been gained in this dismal outcome, and the 5-year survival remains around 50%. Over one half of the patients will suffer from recurrence after a potentially curative resection. A major challenge lies in better detection of recurrences in order to diagnose those patients still amenable to curative resection. Locoregional recurrence is of particular interest and its frequency, diagnostic limitations and surgical treatment are herein discussed.

Abstract

The central venous catheters, now usually adopted in surgical patients, present some potential septic risks, and the longer the catheter is in place, the more dangerous it is. The authors report their experience on 130 central venous catheters, out of which 96 were used for TPN administration and 34 for monitoring purposes. The catheters were introduced through subclavian, internal jugular or basilic veins, in accordance with a standardized technique. The observed infection percentage, caused by the catheters, was 7.7%; the infection was easily controlled by the catheter removal and a proper antibiotic therapy. The only death, surely due to sepsis, was caused by Candida fungus in an immunosuppressed female patient. Therefore the authors stress the importance to prevent septic complications in order to avoid fatal ones.

Abstract

The authors report their experience related to a series of 96 consecutive central venous catheters location through subclavian, right internal jugular, basilic and cephalic veins for TPN administration. Because of the specific complications reported, they are in favour of the trans-basilic peripheral approach for a short term TPN; the internal jugular or the subclavian way are indicated for long term ones. In addition, they stress the importance to limit the use of multilumen catheters just when absolutely necessary, due to the increased infection percentage.
