Infracture Technique for the zygomatic body and arch reduction

In the Orient, prominent malar regions are considered unaesthetic and the majority of women with a prominent malar want to reduce the zygoma. Various operative procedures such as shaving or chiseling the zygomatic body or the zygomatic arch have been used for reducing malar eminence, but the zygomatic arch cannot be reduced sufficiently by these methods. By combining intraoral shaving of the zygomatic body and a new effect arch infracture technique through a temporopreauricular incision, we have obtained very satisfactory results in 19 cases and notable minimal complications over the last three years.

Greenberg dysplasia (hydrops–ectopic calcification–moth‐eaten skeletal dysplasia): Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis and review of literature

A second pregnancy of young, nonconsanguineous parents of Macedonian ethnic origin was examined by ultrasound. Polyhydramnios and hydrops fetalis were found as well as severe short limb, short stature, and cystic hygroma of the neck. An artificial abortion was performed at the age of 23 weeks. The radiological features included moth‐eaten severely shortened long bones and ectopic calcifications of long bones, vertebral column, ribs, pelvis, larynx, trachea. In addition, the fetus had large head with depressed nasal bridge, severe platyspondyly, and short barrel‐shaped trunk. Light microscopy demonstrated lack of chondrocyte columns and disorganization of the cartilaginous architecture. This is the seventh reported case of this rare form of lethal skeletal dysplasia. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Effects of Dopexamine on Lipid Peroxidation During Aortic Surgery in Pigs: Comparison with Dopamine

OBJECTIVE: We investigated the dose-related effect of dopexamine and dopamine on free radical production and lipid peroxidation estimated by MDA measurements in an ischaemia-reperfusion model of supraceliac aortic repair. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, blinded experimental study. MATERIALS: Twenty-five healthy pigs. METHODS: All experiments were performed under general endotracheal anaesthesia. Supraceliac aortic cross clamping was performed in all pigs. The pigs were randomly assigned into five groups (n=5 in each group) and received a continuous intravenous infusion of normal saline (CTL), dopamine 2 microg kg(-1)min(-1) (dopa 2), dopamine 8 microg kg(-1)min(-1) (dopa 8), dopexamine 2 microg kg(-1)min(-1) (dopex 2), dopexamine 8 microg kg(-1)min(-1) (dopex 8). Cardiac output, mean arterial pressure, arterial blood gas analysis and blood sampling for plasma MDA measurements (to reveal lipid peroxidation) were recorded after induction of anaesthesia (baseline), 60 and 120 min after cross-clamping of aorta (ischaemia phase), and 60 and 120 min after restoration of flow (reperfusion phase). RESULTS: Dopexamine and dopamine at 8 microgkg(-1)min(-1) reduced MDA at 60 and 120 min after reperfusion. CONCLUSION: Dopexamine seems superior to dopamine in reducing oxygen free radicals and subsequent lipid peroxidation during reperfusion after supraceliac aortic cross clamping in pigs.     

多普勒超声心动图对主动脉夹层诊断的评价

本文报道了5例主动脉夹层的多普勒超声心动图的阳性所见,其中4例为DeBakey Ⅲ型,1例为Ⅰ型。其阳性所见;(1)4例降主动脉增宽,1例升主动脉增宽;(2)与脉搏同步的摆动性内膜瓣在腹主动脉内最清楚见到,并在收缩期有红色血流填充;(3)2例在主动脉弓远端可见撕裂口;(4)降主动脉双腔形成,真腔内有彩色血流填充,假腔内则无。以上阳性所见对诊断本病起重要作用。

目的探讨老年腹主动脉瘤患者腔内隔绝围手术期脑保护及其临床意义。方法根据有无实施脑保护将69例老年腹主动脉瘤行腔内隔绝治疗的患者随机分成两组:保护组38例,对照组31例。对两组术后脑血管意外及脑功能障碍情况进行对比分析。结果两组的年龄、入院时血压、手术时间差异均无统计学意义。两组均未发生死亡和出血性脑卒中。保护组术后谵妄发生率低于对照组(分别为5.3%和41.9%,P<0.05),术后住院时间少于对照组(分别为9.1±3.2d和16.7±5.8d,P<0.05);术后缺血性脑卒中保护组0例,对照组3例,两组比较无统计学意义(0%和9.7%,P>0.05)。结论对老年腹主动脉瘤接受腔内隔绝治疗的患者围手术期采取脑保护能降低脑血管意外和维持大脑功能,有利于患者术后恢复。     

Diagnosis and management of severe atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta and aortic arch during cardiac surgery: focus on aortic replacement

Objective: Severe atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta and arch frequently causes difficulties during heart operations, hindering surgical manoeuvres and potentially leading to systemic embolism. The aim of our study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of replacing the atherosclerotic ascending aorta in this setting. Methods: Aortic atherosclerosis was characterized by epiaortic ultrasonographic scanning in 90.1% of 1927 consecutive adult patients undergoing cardiac operations, and by computed tomographic chest scanning in selected cases. Thirty-six of the 152 patients requiring major derangements from our standard practice due to aortic atherosclerosis underwent replacement of the ascending aorta and constitute the study group. Replacement of the aorta was extended to the arch in 13 cases (36.1%). It was associated with single or multiple valve surgery in 34 patients (94.4%) and with coronary revascularization in 30 (83.3%). Two patients (5.6%) underwent coronary bypass grafting without valve surgery. A cryoablation procedure was associated in three patients with permanent atrial fibrillation. Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest was employed in 34 patients (94.4%), while proximal aortic disease allowed conventional distal crossclamping in 2 cases. The risk of operative mortality was estimated by the logistic EuroSCORE both with and withholding the variable ‘surgery of the thoracic aorta’. All survivors were followed-up for 1–41 months (16 ± 12). Results: Two patients died in the hospital (5.6%) and two during follow-up, for a cumulative survival of 91.3% and 85.6% at 1 and 3 years, respectively (hospital deaths included). The hospital death rate compared favourably with the expected estimates of 25.5% (p < 0.05) and 10.3% (p = 0.67) obtained by the EuroSCORE full model and without ‘aortic surgery’, respectively. In-hospital adverse neurologic events occurred in six patients (16.7%), including stroke in one patient (2.8%) and neurocognitive disturbances in five (13.9%), although they were all transient and cleared before discharge. Excess bleeding required re-exploration in four patients (11.1%), and one more patient underwent emergency grafting for acute postoperative coronary occlusion. Ten patients (38.5%) were intubated for longer than 24 h. Conclusion: Despite significant perioperative morbidity, replacement of the severely atherosclerotic aorta is worth consideration to avert expectedly higher death and stroke rates.     

Peripheral Seeding of Mycotic Aneurysms from an Infected Aortic Stent Graft

Aortic stent graft infection is rare and there are no reported cases of seeded peripheral mycotic aneurysms complicating this condition. We describe the case of a 54 year old man who developed a late stent graft infection at three years, resulting in the peripheral seeding of three mycotic aneurysms with two incidents of rupture. He was successfully treated with extra-anatomic bypass of the aorta and both surgical and endovascular repair of his peripherally seeded mycotic aneurysms.
