A history of severe allergic reaction to iodine contrast leading to anaphylactic shock presents a dilemma in patients requiring cardiac catheterization. As an alternative, gadolinium has been an interesting and potentially useful agent. However, gadolinium produces poor image quality and has been associated with significant arrhythmias in small case series. Furthermore, there is no consensus about the maximal allowable dose that can be administered to a patient. In the present report, a successful combination of gadolinium contrast with a power injector that produced adequate image quality in a patient with severe allergy to iodine contrast is described. The case was complicated by the occurrence of ventricular fibrillation when damping occurred during injection of contrast into the right coronary artery. This complication has been reported previously with intracoronary gadolinium injection. The report is followed by a brief literature review. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: The study aim was to determine the extent of regression of left atrial (LA) enlargement following mitral balloon valvotomy (MBV) for mitral stenosis. METHODS: Data obtained from 205 patients before, and at a mean of 31.0 +/- 21.1 months (range: 6 to 86.3 months) after successful MBV were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: The invasively determined mitral valve area increased from 0.81 +/- 0.27 cm2 at baseline to 1.73 +/- 0.54 cm2 immediately after valvotomy (p <0.0001), and the mean mitral gradient fell from 15.6 +/- 5.3 to 5.4 +/- 2.5 mmHg (p <0.0001). Similar changes were noted in Doppler-determined mitral valve area (0.89 +/- 0.16 to 1.97 +/- 0.29 cm2; p <0.0001) and gradient (12.6 +/- 5.3 to 4.9 +/- 1.7 mmHg; p <0.0001). In comparison with baseline, significant (p <0.0001) reductions were noted at follow up in the echocardiographic anteroposterior (48.7 +/- 6.9 to 42.4 +/- 6.6 mm), superior-inferior (68.5 +/-8.1 to 59.6 +/- 8.2 mm) and medial-lateral LA dimension (51.2 +/- 6.7 to 44.1 +/- 7.7 mm) and calculated LA volume (91.6 +/- 29.1 to 60.7 +/- 23.8 cm3) Patients in atrial fibrillation had larger LA dimensions, but substantially smaller absolute and relative reduction in LA size at follow up than patients in sinus rhythm. Among patients with prevalvotomy LA enlargement, normalization of LA dimension at follow up was seen in 29.2% of patients in sinus rhythm, but in none of the 32 with atrial fibrillation. CONCLUSIONS: Successful MBV results in significant long-term reduction in LA size in most patients, but normalization of LA size is unusual. 相似文献

Objective
To present a comprehensive account and literature review addressing the anatomical distribution, natural history, and management strategies for locoregional recurrence in early-stage gastric cancer (EGC).Patients and methods
Retrospective chart review of patients presenting with EGC recurrence at King Hussein Cancer Center (Amman, Jordan) between July 2006 and May 2009. A literature review of publications addressing recurrence following surgery for EGC was undertaken via a systematic search of PUBMED database and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline updates.Results
Seventeen patients presented with EGC, three of whom (17.6%) were pathologically staged as T2N1 [1/33 lymph nodes (LNs)], T1N0, and T1N0 were afflicted by recurrence following R0 partial gastrectomy. Literature review yielded 18 studies specifically addressing recurrence in EGC. Several management strategies have been proposed for isolated recurrence following gastrectomy in EGC. NCCN clinical practice guideline updates do not take into consideration whether the recurrence is isolated or widespread and whether the initial stage is early or advanced.Conclusions
While acknowledging the limitations of this study, including the small sample size and the short follow-up period, it appears clear that oncologic treatment is possible for EGC recurrence, particularly, in patients with isolated relapse. Guideline updates should differentiate between management strategies suitable for recurrence occurring in early versus advanced initial cancer stage. 相似文献5.

This is a two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiographic study of the hemodynamic changes in patients with heatstroke and heat exhaustion. It demonstrates that the hemodynamic changes in severe heat exposure reflect a hyperdynamic circulation with tachycardia and high cardiac output states. Relative hypovolemia was more pronounced in patients with heatstroke compared to patients with heat exhaustion. Signs of peripheral vasoconstriction were more often present in patients with heatstroke, while patients with heat exhaustion more often demonstrated peripheral vasodilatation. 相似文献

A 15-year-old boy with severe pulmonary stenosis associated with severe right and left ventricular systolic dysfunction is reported. After successful percutaneous pulmonary valvuloplasty, there was an initial and early improvement in right ventricular (RV) function, followed by a delayed and more gradual improvement in left ventricular (LV) function. At long-term follow up, both RV and LV systolic functions were nearly normalized. Several mechanisms may be implicated, including ventricular interdependence, geometric factors, altered compliance and intrinsic alteration in the LV muscle. A delayed, but sustained, improvement in LV systolic function following relief of RV pressure overload suggests that the latter mechanism must have played an important role in the genesis of the LV dysfunction. Pulmonary stenosis associated with severe biventricular dysfunction may be treated primarily by percutaneous pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty with near-total recovery of the ventricular function. 相似文献
