Transient Acute Diplopia as a Rare Side Effect of Hydromorphone: A Case Report.

Diplopia, or double vision, has been listed as a rare adverse effect of intravenous hydromorphone, although there are no case studies or literature documenting this. We detail a case of acute transient diplopia correlated with the use of intraoperative hydromorphone and postoperative hydromorphone patient-controlled analgesia. Although the mechanism for this adverse effect is unknown, there may be risk factors that predispose patients to the potential toxic metabolic effects of hydromorphone.

Surgical strategies to address re-operative complex left ventricular outflow tract and thoracic aortic pathology: Cleveland Clinic children's experience.

Background: Complex patients requiring operations on the left ventricular outflow tract, aortic valve, or thoracic aorta after previous repair of aortopathy constitute a challenging group, with limited information guiding decision-making. We aimed to use our institutional experience to highlight management challenges and describe surgical pearls to address them.

Methods: Forty-one complex patients with surgery on the left ventricular outflow tract, aortic valve, or aorta at Cleveland Clinic Children's between 2016 and 2021 following previous repair of aortic pathology were retrospectively reviewed.

Characterizing the anatomic spectrum, surgical treatment, and long-term clinical outcomes for patients with Shone's syndrome.

Objective: Shone's syndrome (SS) has a varied anatomic spectrum without consensus on need and timing for mitral valve intervention (MVI). We sought to (1) characterize the anatomic spectrum and treatment pathways; (2) describe long-term outcomes and their determinants; and (3) define the impact of MVI timing on survival.

Methods: In total, 121 patients with SS who underwent operation at Cleveland Clinic between 1956 and 2021 were reviewed.
