Myocardial perforation is a rare complication of permanent pacemaker insertion and is usually detected during the first month after implantation. Pericardial effusion often occurs at the same time, and as a consequence may generate difficulties in the diagnostic workup due to the various aetiologies of its origin. Computed tomography has been used for the documentation of lead perforation, but its diagnostic accuracy in comparison to echocardiographic examination has not been validated. We report a case of ventricular perforation causing pericarditis, initially undetected by computed tomography, that was finally diagnosed by means of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography.

We present a case of an 80-year-old female who presented with chest pain, vomiting and night sweats a few weeks post thoracic endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (TEVAR). A computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated a type 1B endoleak for which she underwent a repeat TEVAR. Postoperatively, she developed fever, dysphagia, haematemesis and melaena.

Transabdominal preperitoneal patch plasty (TAPP) versus total extraperitoneal patch plasty (TEP) are surgical techniques commonly used to treat inguinal hernia. However, studies indicate that both procedures may lead to significant complications, particularly gastrointestinal complications, some of which can be life-threatening. We statistically analyzed the complications caused by adult inguinal hernia patients admitted from 2018 to 2022.

Background: Obesity is widely recognized as a significant risk factor for postoperative complications of breast reconstruction. Despite extensive research, there remains a lack of consensus regarding the specific complications and outcomes experienced by patients with obesity who undergo deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap reconstruction. To provide a clearer understanding of the challenges faced by patients with obesity, we present a single-center outcome analysis of individuals who underwent DIEP flap reconstruction.
