Published: June 2002

Pelvic surgery for malignant disease has been associated with numerous acute postoperative complications. These complications are primarily vascular or neurologic in origin. Several factors associated with the occurrence of these complications include the lithotomy position, the prolonged use of sequential compression devices, the use of certain types of stirrups, the presence of peripheral vascular disease, and the common hypercoagulable state of most cancer patients. We report for the first time a case of aortic thrombosis after elective low anterior resection for rectal cancer and discuss some factors that may have a role in the occurrence of this devastating complication.

Background: Subclinical leaflet thrombosis (SLT) is a common complication after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Multidimensional CT (MDCT) is the main imaging mortality for the diagnosis of SLT but it enhances the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy. Our study aimed to use an innovative wearable acoustic cardiography (ACG) device to diagnose SLT as an alternative option.

A 9-day-old male neonate was found to have a systolic murmur during a routine follow-up for skin jaundice. Imaging revealed a large mass at the bifurcation of the main pulmonary artery, causing significant bilateral stenosis. The patient underwent emergency surgery due to critically compromised pulmonary blood flow.

Aortic coarctation represents up to 7% of congenital heart diseases and is associated with hypertension and coronary artery disease, which continues to be the leading cause of death even after successful surgical repair. However, there is limited knowledge of managing both conditions, especially in the setting of an acute coronary syndrome. We herein present the case of a 53-year-old man with a history of hypertension who initially presented with an ST-elevation myocardial infarction successfully treated with thrombolysis and hemodynamic compromise.
