[Successful resuscitation by extracorporeal circulation after fibrillation during vascular reconstruction].

Extracorporeal circulation (EC) for reanimation of refractory cardiac fibrillation during vascular surgery. The fibrillation occurred shortly after induction of anesthesia but no specific medication could be incriminated. Postoperative morbidity was significant but the patient eventually made a successful recovery.

Bronchial atresia with corresponding segmental pulmonary emphysema.

This paper presents a 13-year-old boy suffering from congenital bronchial atresia of the anterior and apicoposterior segments of the left upper lobe with corresponding emphysema, and emphysema with bronchial atresia in the anterobasal segment of the left lower lobe. The aetiology of congenital localized emphysema is not always clear. In the group with a demonstrable check-valve mechanism, which permits air to enter but not to leave the lung, there is either internal stenosis or external compression of the bronchus.
