• Article: Retrieval of scrap metal from an abdominal aortic aneurysm during the follow-up.

  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: A 75-year-old patient underwent open repair of a rapidly expanded aneurysm after previous multiple endovascular repair (EVAR) attempts by others. Open surgical reconstruction allowed the explants of all metallic components of implanted stent-grafts. This is still an uncommon phenomenon due to the still low late reintervention rate.

  ABSTRACT: Three patients who presented with massive hemoptysis after the insertion of a Swan-Ganz catheter for cardiac surgery are reported. Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms were diagnosed and successfully treated by embolization with a vascular plug. Follow-up at 15 months showed no recurrence of hemoptysis, and computed tomography helped confirm complete occlusion of the pseudoaneurysms.

• Article: Erosion of lumbar vertebral bodies by an anastomotic false aneurysm late after implantation of a prosthetic aortic bifurcated graft.

  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: False aneurysms are seen at any anastomotic level. Erosion of surrounding structures is a rare event that needs surgical treatment. The case of a patient with proximal Dacron bifurcated graft false aneurysm eroding lumbar vertebral bodies is presented. This is an uncommon but very serious complication from aortic grafts.

  ABSTRACT: About 30% of all patients do not respond to cardiac resynchronization therapy for heart failure. The objective of the study was to analyze the variables that may predict the lack of response. We analyzed the results in a series of 63 patients who received cardiac resynchronization with a biventricular device. Clinical and left ventricular function parameters were evaluated at the beginning of the study and at 6 months. Responders were defined as those who were alive, had not received a heart transplant, and who achieved more than a 10% increase in distance in the 6-minute walking test. Mean age was 68.3 (8) years, 51 patients (81%) were men, and NYHA functional class was III-IV in 79.4%. Mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 22.4% (6)%, QRS width was 177 (25) ms, and 77.8% were in sinus rhythm. Almost half (46%, n=29) had ischemic heart disease. At 6-month follow-up, 69.8% of the patients were responders. Ischemic heart disease, sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia and a degree of mitral regurgitation >II/IV before implantation were associated with lack of response. No association was found for any of the other baseline variables. Logistic regression analysis identified all three of the aforementioned variables as independent predictors of lack of response: ischemic heart disease OR=4.8, 95% CI, 1.2-18.3, P=.023; ventricular tachycardia OR=8.7, 95% CI, 1.8-41.3, P=.007; and mitral regurgitation OR=8.03, 95% CI, 1.7-37.1, P=.008. The likelihood of responding to resynchronization therapy is lower in patients with ischemic heart disease, significant mitral regurgitation, or sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia.

• Article: An unusual travel of an endocardial pacing lead to the left ventricle.

  Salvador Ninot, Gemma Sánchez, Carlos-A Mestres
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: A 80-year-old lady was admitted because of dyspnea, complete AV block and ventricular rate of 15 bpm. A DDDR pacemaker was successfully implanted. Postoperative EKG showed right bundle branch block and X-ray the ventricular lead in the left ventricle. It traveled all the way through a foramen ovale being later relocated in the right apex.

  ABSTRACT: Introducción. Alrededor del 30% de los pacientes no responde al tratamiento de resincronización para la insuficiencia cardíaca. El objetivo del estudio ha sido analizar las variables que pueden ser predictoras de falta de respuesta. Pacientes y método. Se analizaron los resultados de una serie de 63 pacientes a los que se implantó un dispositivo de resincronización biventricular. Se realizó una valoración clínica y de parámetros de función ventricular izquierda basal y a los 6 meses. Se consideró que habían mejorado los pacientes que estaban vivos sin trasplante cardíaco y habían aumentado más de un 10% la distancia caminada en el test de los 6 min. Resultados. La edad media fue de 68,3 ± 8 años; 51 pacientes (81%) eran varones y la clase funcional de la NYHA era III-IV en el 79,4%. La fracción de eyección media fue 22,4 ± 6%, la duración del QRS, 177 ± 25 ms, y el 77,8% estaba en ritmo sinusal. Un 46% (n = 29) tenía cardiopatía isquémica. A los 6 meses, el 69,8% respondió al tratamiento. La ausencia de mejoría se asoció con cardiopatía isquémica, historia de taquicardia ventricular monomórfica sostenida e insuficiencia mitral de grado > II/IV previa al implante, pero no mostró relación con el resto de los parámetros basales analizados. En el análisis de regresión logística, las 3 variables fueron predictores independientes de la falta de mejoría (OR = 4,8; IC del 95%, 1,2-18,3; p = 0,023; OR = 8,7; IC del 95%, 1,8-41,3; p = 0,007; y OR = 8,03; IC del 95%, 1,7-37,1; p = 0,008, respectivamente). Conclusión. La probabilidad de responder al tratamiento de resincronización es menor en pacientes con cardiopatía isquémica, insuficiencia mitral importante o historia de taquicardia ventricular monomórfica sostenida.
