Article: Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of abdominal aorta in a child
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A 6-year-old child sustained blunt abdominal trauma leading to formation of infrarenal aortic pseudoaneurysm eroding the vertebra with impairment of blood flow in bilateral lower limbs (absent bilateral femoral pulsations) and paraplegia. Resection of aneurysm was done alongwith reconstruction of aorta and iliac arteries with expended Poly-Tetra-Flouro-Ethylene (e PTFE) patch. Right common iliac artery was directly anastomosed to left common iliac artery establishing good flow to bilateral lower limbs. The child made a good recovery and has started to walk after 3 months follow up.Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery 04/2012; 25(2):80-82. -
Article: Comparative evaluation of hemodynamic performance in early post-operative period of tilting disc vs. bileaflet mechanical valve at mitral position — A prospective study
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: ObjectivesIn this prospective randomized trial, we compared tilting disc medtronic hall valve with bileaflet valves St. Jude and ATS valve for Hemodynamic Performance in the early post-operative period. MethodsBetween December, 2007 and January 2009, 85 patients were randomized to undergo Mitral Valve Replacement with or without aortic valve replacement with either medtronic hall tilting disc valve or St. Jude or ATS bileaflet valve. Echocardiography was used to compare the hemodynamic performance (transvalvular mean diastolic gradient and in-vivo valve area) in the early post-operative period. The two groups were not significantly different with respect to age, sex, New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class, Left Ventricular ejection fraction, incidence and severity of mitral stenosis or insufficiency and preservation of subvalvular apparatus. ResultsComparison of echocardiographic hemodynamic parameters obtained at the time of discharge from hospital demonstrated no significant differences between the prosthesis with valve size greater than or equal to 25mm. However, for small size mitral prosthesis 23mm mean diastolic pressure gradients were less in bileaflet St. Jude Valve and effective orifice area was also larger. ConclusionsBoth tilting disc (Medtronic hall) and bileaflet valves (St. Jude Medical, ATS) give equally good results for large size valves. But in case of small size valves (23mm). Bileaflet St. Jude mitral valve gave better results in terms of large effective orifice area and less gradient across the valve.Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery 04/2012; 25(2):52-55. -
Article: Large chest wall hydatid cyst — An unusual presentation
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A large chest wall hydatid cyst extending into the thoracic cavity and causing atelectasis of part of right lung is reported. Presenting symptoms were chest pain and swelling chest wall. Computed tomographic Scan led to diagnosis of chest wall hydatid cyst extending into the thorax. On thoracotomy, cyst was found to originate from chest wall with extension into the thoracic cavity without infiltration of lung parenchyma and with collapse of underlying lobe of the lung. Multiple cysts were enucleated along with resection of part of rib. Post-operative recovery was uneventful.

Article: Pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle in a young asymptomatic female.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report a rare case of a 25-year-old asymptomatic female who was referred for evaluation of a cardiac murmur. She had recent history of treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. On investigation, she was diagnosed with left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (PSA) likely secondary to rupture of myocardial tubercular abscess. She was operated successfully for the left ventricular PSA and was discharged from the hospital in a good condition.Echocardiography 03/2010; 27(3):329-31. · 1.24 Impact Factor
