Item Abdominal aortic occlusion due to aorto arteritis.(European journal of cardio-thoracic surgery : official journal of the European Association for Cardio-thoracic Surgery, 2003)Item Holt-oram syndrome with hemizygous continuation of inferior vena cava.(Asian cardiovascular & thoracic annals, 2006)A rare and previously unreported combination of Holt-Oram syndrome, atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, isolated left atrial isomerism and inferior vena caval interruption with hemizygous continuation to the left superior vena cava is described.Item Late entrapment of ball and cage valve in mitral position.(Asian cardiovascular & thoracic annals, 2006)A 32-year-old female underwent mitral valve replacement with total chordal preservation (Miki's technique) using 26 mm (1M) Starr-Edward prosthesis (SEP) in 1988. The patient was in NYHA class-I until 2001. She progressed to NYHA class-III with paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed increased prosthetic valve gradient, and cardiac catheterization confirmed the findings. Intraoperatively, the poppet movement in the cage was found to be restricted due to the preserved subvalvular apparatus entrapping the poppet inside the prosthetic valve cage.Item Superior vena caval aneurysm.(Interactive cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, 2003)Venous aneurysms arising from the mediastinal systemic veins are rare. There are only 27 reported cases of such aneurysms. Majority arise from the superior vena cava. We are reporting a saccular aneurysm of superior vena cava in a 58-year-old male. The chest radiogram suggested superior mediastinal mass and the computed tomogram was suggestive of aortic arch aneurysm. Aortography and venography confirmed the diagnosis as saccular aneurysm arising from the superior vena cava. A 7 cm saccular aneurysm arising from the distal half of superior vena cava was resected through median sternotomy. The surgery was done to prevent pulmonary thrombo-embolism.Item Syphilitic aneurysm eroding the chest wall.(Asian cardiovascular & thoracic annals, 2006)
