Abstract

PURPOSE: Blepharoptosis repair by levator advancement is successful in most instances, but the postoperative eyelid level is not uniformly predictable. This study was undertaken to evaluate the possible effect of epinephrine (from local anesthetic) on eyelid position. METHODS: Seventeen adults with acquired unilateral ptosis as a result of levator aponeurosis dehiscence underwent levator aponeurosis advancement. The distance between the upper eyelid margin and the central corneal light reflex was measured preoperatively with the patient in both the upright and the supine position, 10 minutes after injection of 1.0 mL of anesthetic solution (2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine and 12 U hyaluronidase per mL) in the supine position, intraoperatively after skin closure in the supine position, and 1 week or more postoperatively in the upright position. The ptotic lid was positioned intraoperatively in relation to the contralateral unoperated lid according to the change (presumably) induced by epinephrine stimulation of Müller's muscle. RESULTS: Eleven (65%) of the 17 patients had final postoperative lid positions within 1 mm between eyes. Two patients (12%) had undercorrection. Four patients (24%) had overcorrection by > 1 mm. The overcorrected lids were satisfactorily positioned, however, and none required further surgery; in 3 of these 4 patients, the unoperated lid had become ptotic, probably as a result of Hering's law. Differences between operated and unoperated lids and between the different times of measurement were analyzed. Significant changes in lid position occurred in the ptotic lids after injection (mean, +1.1 +/- 1.5 mm; median, +1.0 mm; P = .004) and in the final intraoperative difference between operated and unoperated lids (mean, +0.8 +/- 0.9 mm; median, +1.0 mm; P = .003). The change in the unoperated lid from preoperative upright to preoperative supine was significantly greater in the 6 failures (mean, -0.8 +/- 0.6 mm; median, -1.0 mm) than in the 11 successful outcomes (mean, +0.1 +/- 0.8 mm; median, 0.0 mm; P = .03). The change in unoperated lid position after injection of the ptotic lid was significantly greater in the failures (mean, +0.4 +/- 0.5 mm; median, +0.3 mm) than in the successful cases (mean, -0.2 +/- 0.4 mm; median, 0.0 mm; P = .02). CONCLUSION: Although it seems intuitively reasonable and clinically appropriate to account for the stimulatory effect of epinephrine during ptosis surgery, such intraoperative compensation alone did not yield a universally successful outcome in this study.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The authors determined whether Meckel's diverticulum, discovered incidentally at operation, should be removed. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: It is not clear from the medical literature whether the risk of an incidental Meckel's diverticulectomy is greater than the risk of leaving the diverticulum in place. METHODS: The authors used the medical experience of Olmsted County, Minnesota residents for the period 1950 to 1992 to answer the question. RESULTS: During the period, 58 residents developed Meckel's complications that required diverticulectomies. The incidence of complications was 87 per 100,000 person-years, and the lifetime risk (to 80 years of age) of developing them was 6.4%. The risks were similar throughout the period and at all ages of life, but were greater among men (124 per 100,000 person-years) than women (50 per 100,000 person-years, p < 0.05). Diverticulectomies for complications carried an operative mortality and morbidity of 2% and 12% and a cumulative risk of long-term postoperative complications of 7%, whereas incidental diverticulectomies done in 87 residents during the period carried corresponding rates of only 1%, 2%, and 2%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Meckel's diverticula discovered incidentally at operation should be removed for most patients, regardless of age.

Abstract

PurposeTo assess the intraocular pressure (IOP) changes, within the first 30 min after intravitreal injection of 0.1 ml (4 mg) triamcinolone, 0.09 ml (0.3 mg) pegaptanib, and 0.05 ml (1.25 mg) bevacizumab.MethodsRecords of patients who received intravitreal triamcinolone, pegaptanib, and bevacizumab and who had their IOP measured post-injection were reviewed.ResultsA total of 212 injections were performed (76 bevacizumab in 63 patients, 42 triamcinolone in 41 patients, 94 pegaptanib in 74 patients). At 10 min, over 87% of eyes receiving each drug had an IOP of less than 35 mmHg. Three of the 42 eyes receiving intravitreal triamcinolone were treated with IOP-lowering drops for pressures of 44, 46, and 60 mmHg. No patients treated with intravitreal bevacizumab or pegaptanib received IOP-lowering drops. The number of eyes in each injection group that had an IOP rise >10 mmHg within 30 min after injection was 27.6% of eyes receiving bevacizumab, 33.3% of eyes receiving triamcinolone, and 36.2% of eyes receiving pegaptanib. At 10 min, eyes with glaucoma were less likely to have an IOP<35 mmHg, but this difference became less marked with time.ConclusionIn our series, most patients receiving intravitreal injections did not require IOP-lowering drops after injection, and none required a paracentesis.Eye (2009) 23, 181–185; doi:10.1038/sj.eye.6702938; published online 10 August 2007 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Vasodilator perfusion imaging has not been extensively evaluated for predicting severe coronary artery disease (CAD) or long-term prognosis.Methods and Results: The goals of this study were to develop a model to predict left main/3-vessel CAD in patients undergoing vasodilator thallium 201 imaging and coronary angiography (angiographic population) and to test the long-term prognostic value of this model in a separate cohort of patients who were not referred for angiography (prognostic population). In the angiographic population (n = 653) the chi2 value of the clinical model (containing the variables age, sex, and prior myocardial infarction) in the prediction of severe CAD was 32. The addition of 3 vasodilator Tl-201 variables (magnitude of ST-segment depression, summed reversibility score, and increased lung uptake) increased the model chi2 value to 114 (P <.001). Only 9% of predicted low-risk patients versus 57% of predicted high-risk patients had severe CAD. In the prognostic population (n = 521) survival rates free of cardiac death or myocardial infarction at 7 years were 91%, 73%, and 51%, respectively, for patient groups predicted to be at low, intermediate, and high risk of severe CAD (P <.001).Conclusions: Clinical and vasodilator Tl-201 variables can accurately predict the risk of severe CAD. Stress Tl-201 variables add incremental information to clinical variables. The same model also predicts patient outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Context: Exercise testing of patients with ST-T abnormalities on the resting electrocardiogram (ECG) is problematic because in the presence of pre-existing ST-T abnormalities, the exercise test is less specific for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. The prognostic capability of the Duke treadmill score in patients with ST-T abnormalities vs those with normal findings on resting ECG has, to our knowledge, not been evaluated.Objective: To compare the prognostic accuracy of the Duke treadmill score in patients with nonspecific ST-T abnormalities vs those with normal results on resting ECG.Design: Inception cohort study with 7 years of follow-up.Setting: Nuclear cardiology laboratory of a US referral center.Patients: All symptomatic patients who underwent exercise thallium testing between 1989 and 1991,939 of whom had nonspecific ST-T abnormalities and 1466 of whom had normal findings on resting ECG. Exclusion criteria included congenital, valvular, or cardiomyopathic heart disease; prior coronary artery revascularization; resting ECG with secondary ST-T abnormalities; or missing data.Main Outcome Measures: Rates of overall mortality and cardiac death for subjects classified by Duke treadmill score risk group.Results: For the end point cardiac death, 7-year survival in the study population in the low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups was 97%, 92%, and 76%, respectively (P<.001). Compared with the control group, the study group had lower 7-year survival (94% vs 98%; P<.001), fewer low-risk patients (426 [45%] vs 811 [55%]; P<.001) with worse 7-year survival (97% vs 99%; P= .008), and more high-risk patients (49 [5%] vs 34 [2%];P<.001) with a nonsignificant trend toward worse 7-year survival (76% vs 93%; P= .36).Conclusions: The Duke treadmill score can effectively risk-stratify patients with ST-T abnormalities on the resting ECG. In classified risk categories, patients with ST-T abnormalities have a worse prognosis than those with normal results on resting ECG. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: There are limited data addressing the outcome of patients with normal or near normal myocardial perfusion during chest pain at rest. The purpose of this study was to determine the prognosis of patients with spontaneous chest pain, a normal or nondiagnostic electrocardiogram, no enzymatic evidence of myocardial infarction, and no evidence of severe resting ischemia by quantitative technetium 99m (99mTc) sestamibi imaging.Methods: In the study, 111 patients who fulfilled the above criteria were injected with 99mTc sestamibi during resting chest pain and were followed for a median 2.7 years. Of the patients in the study group, 58% had coronary artery disease that was documented by clinical history or coronary angiography. Tomographic 99mTc perfusion images were interpreted with a quantitative threshold technique initially developed to detect severely hypoperfused myocardium. The images were also interpreted qualitatively to detect patients with milder degrees of hypoperfused myocardium.Results: During follow-up 3 patients had cardiac deaths, 5 had nonfatal myocardial infarctions, and 21 underwent revascularization procedures (13 within 3 months and 8 more than 3 months after the sestamibi study). At 3 years, survival free of cardiac death was 97%, survival free of cardiac death or myocardial infarction was 91%, and survival of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or late revascularization was 82%. Quantitative analysis of the scans revealed that 100% of patients without fixed defects had 3-year survival free of cardiac death versus 76% of patients who had fixed defects (p < 0.001). Mild to moderate resting ischemia by qualitative interpretation of the scans was present in 20% of patients, but this did not predict outcome.Conclusions: Patients with spontaneous chest pain and nonischemic quantitative 99mTc sestamibi images were at reasonably low risk for hard cardiac events although some patients (18%) required revascularization.

Abstract

The exercise electrocardiogram (ECG) is widely believed to be less accurate in women, primarily due to a high prevalence of false-positive tests. The purpose of this study was to examine the relative accuracy of the exercise ECG in women versus men in 8,671 patients (3,213 women, 5,458 men) using myocardial perfusion imaging as the reference standard. More women (14%) than men (10%) had a false-positive ECG (p <0.001), but the absolute difference was relatively small. The false-negative rate was considerably lower in women (17% vs 32%, p <0.001). Compared with men, women had lower test sensitivity (30% vs 42%, p <0.001) and positive predictive value (34% vs 70%, p <0.001) but higher specificity (82% vs 78%, p = 0.002), negative predictive value (78% vs 52%, p <0.001), and accuracy (69% vs 58%, p <0.001). In patients with a false-negative exercise ECG, "high-risk" scans were less prevalent in women (12% vs 19%, p <0.001). In the smaller subset of patients referred for coronary angiography (205 women, 838 men), the false-positive electrocardiographic rate was again higher in women (13% vs 7%, p = 0.003), but neither specificity (69% vs 74%, p = NS) nor accuracy (60% vs 66%, p = NS) was different between the sexes. Thus, the percentage of patients with a false-positive exercise ECG was higher in women than men but low in absolute terms (<15%) for both sexes. Test specificity was not lower in women. These results suggest that gender should not be a major determinant for selecting stress imaging over standard treadmill testing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The value of exercise nuclear perfusion imaging performed beyond the 6-month restenosis window for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has not been explored. This study evaluates the long-term prognostic value of exercise thallium (Tl)-201 imaging after PTCA. We studied the late outcome of a series of 211 patients with tomographic Tl-201 exercise studies performed between 1 to 3 years after PTCA. Follow-up was 96% complete at a median duration of 7.3 years. Most (73%) had 1- or 2-vessel coronary artery disease and normal left ventricular function and 193 (91%) had successful PTCA. Two thirds of the patients were symptomatic at the time of testing. The mean Duke score was 5+/-6 and 125 (60%) patients had a low-risk Duke score. Mean summed stress score was 50+/-9 and mean summed reversibility score was 3+/-4. The 5-year overall survival was 95%, yielding a low annual mortality rate of 1%/year. The summed stress score exhibited a significant association (p = 0.047) with the end point of cardiac death or myocardial infarction. The Duke score was predictive of the combination end point of hard and soft cardiac events (p = 0.002). This study demonstrates that exercise Tl-201 perfusion imaging performed 1 to 3 years after PTCA was predictive of cardiac events. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Older patients have higher in-hospital and longer term mortality after myocardial infarction. To determine if larger infarct size correlates with this observation, myocardium at risk was measured on arrival to the hospital in 347 patients with acute myocardial infarction, and final infarct size was measured at hospital discharge in a subset of 274 of these patients. Myocardium at risk and final infarct size were quantified by tomographic technetium-99m sestamibi imaging. Statistical analyses examined the associations between age, myocardium at risk, final infarct size, and both in-hospital and postdischarge mortality. Median value for age was 64 years, and myocardium at risk was 24% and final infarct size was 12% of the left ventricle. There was no correlation between age and myocardium at risk (r = 0.04, p = NS) or final infarct size (r = 0.06, p = NS). In-hospital mortality was 4% overall and was 2% for patients <65 years old versus 6% for those > or =65 years old (chi-square 11.3, p<0.001). In-hospital mortality was not associated with myocardium at risk (chi square <1, p = NS). For the subset of 274 patients in whom final infarct size was measured, the subsequent 2-year mortality rate was 3% and was independently associated with both age (chi-square 15.6, p<0.001) and final infarct size (chi-square 9.7, p = 0.002). Survival was excellent for patients who were either <65 years old (2-year mortality 1%) or had an infarct size <12% (2-year mortality 0%). For patients > or =65 years old with infarct size > or =12%, 2-year mortality was 13%. These results demonstrate that older patients do not have larger infarcts. Advanced age is associated with higher in-hospital and postdischarge mortality, independent of infarct size. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This study sought to investigate, in patients with idiopathic-dilated cardiomyopathy, the clinical and prognostic value of a Doppler-derived index of myocardial function that combines systolic and diastolic time intervals of the left heart cycle. The Doppler index was measured in 75 patients (aged 61 +/- 13 years; 45 men and 30 women) in sinus rhythm and 75 age- and sex-matched controls. Ejection time was measured from the left ventricular outflow Doppler signal. The sum of isovolumic times was obtained by subtracting the ejection time from the interval between cessation and onset of mitral inflow measured from the mitral inflow velocity profile. The index was the sum of isovolumic times divided by ejection time. The values of the Doppler index in patients with idiopathic-dilated cardiomyopathy (0.85 +/- 0.32) were significantly higher than values in controls (0.37 +/- 0.08, p < 0.001). During follow-up of 5 years, 1 patient underwent cardiac transplantation and 36 patients died, 29 of cardiac, 5 of noncardiac, and 2 of unknown causes. Univariate analysis demonstrated that the Doppler index (chi-square = 18.3, p < 0.001), ejection fraction (chi-square = 15.2, p <0.001), symptom status (chi-square = 9.2, p = 0.002), and mitral deceleration time (chi-square = 5.2, p = 0.02) were significant predictors of outcome. However, multivariate stepwise analysis of these variables showed that the Doppler index (chi-square = 10.7, p = 0.001) and ejection fraction (chi-square = 6.7, p = 0.01) were the most significant independent predictors of outcome. The Doppler index reflects disease severity and has incremental prognostic value in dilated cardiomyopathy. Ease of use, nongeometric dependency, excellent separation of clinical groups, and a strong relation to outcome enhance its appeal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Strategies to noninvasively evaluate patients after coronary stenting have not been evaluated. To determine the accuracy of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging in patients after coronary stenting, 209 patients who had undergone stenting followed by late stress SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging were evaluated. Quantitative coronary angiography was performed in 33 patients following SPECT imaging. SPECT restenosis was defined as a reversible or fixed defect within the stented vascular territory. Angiographic restenosis was examined using 2 definitions: total area narrowing > or =50% or > or =70% of the stent site or stented artery. The SPECT and angiographic findings were concordant in 22 of 33 stented vascular territories using the 50% definition of restenosis and in 29 of 33 stented territories using the 70% definition. Use of the 70% definition of restenosis resulted in improved accuracy of SPECT to detect a significant stenosis in the stented artery. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of SPECT were 95%, 73%, 88%, 89%, and 88% respectively. In patients with positive SPECT scans, the most significant stenosis in the stented artery was outside the stent site in 50% of cases. SPECT imaging appears to be accurate to predict significant stenosis in the stented artery, although the most severe stenosis is frequently distant from the stent site. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This study examines the long-term prognosis of patients with an abnormal exercise radionuclide angiogram in the absence of significant angiographic coronary artery disease (CAD). In general, patients without significant CAD have an excellent prognosis, but the long-term outcome for the subset of patients with an "ischemic" exercise test is not known. In this study, 161 patients with normal coronary arteries or insignificant CAD (< 50% left main and < 70% left anterior descending, left circumflex, or right), resting left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction > or = 0.50, and an abnormal exercise radionuclide angiogram (LV ejection fraction that decreased with exercise or peak exercise LV ejection fraction < 0.60) were followed for a median duration of 11.3 years. The mean delta LV ejection fraction was -0.07, 98 patients (61%) had a decrease in LV ejection fraction of > or = 5 units, and 40 patients (25%) had peak exercise LV ejection fraction < 0.50. During follow-up there were 19 deaths (only 1 of which was cardiac), 7 nonfatal myocardial infarctions, and 9 revascularization procedures. At 12 years, overall survival was 88%, better than the expected survival for the age- and sex-matched general population. Survival free of cardiac death or myocardial infarction was 94% and survival free of any cardiac event including revascularization was 88%. Thus, patients with an abnormal exercise radionuclide angiogram but without significant CAD have an excellent long-term prognosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This study determined the correlation between the extent of the resting perfusion defect by technetium-99m sestamibi tomographic imaging and the first-pass left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF). A total of 1,955 patients underwent technetium-99m sestamibi tomographic imaging with measurement of first-pass resting LVEF. Twenty-five percent of patients had a prior history of myocardial infarction. First-pass LVEF was measured using a peripheral intravenous injection and a multicrystal gamma camera with standard software. Resting tomographic perfusion defect size (infarct size) was quantitated using previously published methods. Mean LVEF for the study group was 0.60 +/- 0.11. Mean LV infarct size was 5 +/- 11%. For the 1,265 patients (65% of the study group) with no measurable perfusion defect, the prevalence of a normal (> or = 0.50) LVEF was 96% (1,212 of 1,265 patients). For patients with a measurable defect (n = 690, 35%), the inverse linear correlation with LVEF was highly significant (r = -0.60, p <0.0001) but with wide confidence limits (SEE = 10 LVEF points), thereby limiting the predictive value in individual patients. Thus, in the absence of known cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease, or left bundle branch block, patients without a quantifiable resting perfusion defect are highly likely to have a normal resting LVEF and may not require determination of LV function. For patients with resting perfusion defects, LVEF cannot be predicted with confidence and should therefore be measured. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
