  • Subclavian Vein Obstruction Without Thrombosis
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector Subclavian vein obstruction without thrombosis Richard J. Sanders, MD,a and Sharon L. Hammond, MD,a,b Denver, Colo Background: Unilateral arm swelling caused by subclavian vein obstruction without thrombosis is an uncommon form of venous thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). In 87 patients with venous TOS, only 21 patients had no thrombosis. We describe the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. Material and Methods: Twenty-one patients with arm swelling, cyanosis, and venograms demonstrating partial subclavian vein obstruction were treated with transaxillary first rib resection and venolysis. Results: Eighteen (86%) of 21 patients had good-to-excellent improvement of symptoms. There were two failures (9%). Conclusions: Unilateral arm swelling without thrombosis, when not caused by lymphatic obstruction, may be due to subclavian vein compression at the costoclavicular ligament because of compression either by that ligament or the subclavius tendon most often because of congenital close proximity of the vein to the ligament. Arm symptoms of neurogenic TOS, pain, and paresthesia often accompany venous TOS while neck pain and headache, other common symptoms of neurogenic TOS, are infrequent. Diagnosis was made by dynamic venography. First rib resection, which included the anterior portion of rib and cartilage plus division of the costoclavicular ligament and subclavius tendon, proved to be effective treatment. (J Vasc Surg 2005;41:285-90.) Unilateral arm swelling without thrombosis is uncom- system. Three separate injections were administered: one mon, and few papers have addressed this condition. The with the arm at the side, one with the arm abducted to 90 last article on this subject that we could find was published degrees; and one with the arm at 180 degrees.

Sanders, MD , and Stephen J. Annest, MD Presbyterian/St. Luke's Medical Center, 1719 Gilpin, Denver, CO 80218 article info abstract Compression of the neurovascular bundle to the upper extremity can occur above or below the clavicle; thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is above the clavicle and pectoralis minor syndrome is below. More than 90% of cases involve the brachial plexus, 5% involve venous obstruction, and 1% are associate with arterial obstruction. The clinical presentation, including symptoms, physical examination, pathology, etiology, and treatment differences among neurogenic, venous, and arterial TOS syndromes. This review details the diagnostic testing required to differentiate among the associated conditions and recommends appropriate medical or surgical treatment for each compression syndrome. The long- term outcomes of patients with TOS and pectoralis minor syndrome also vary and depend on duration of symptoms before initiation of physical therapy and surgical intervention. Overall, it can be expected that 480% of patients with these compression syndromes can experience functional improvement of their upper extremity; higher for arterial and venous TOS than for neurogenic compression. & 2015 Published by Elsevier Inc. 1.

It is a very rare syndrome resulting from anatomical abnormalities of the thoracic outlet, causing thrombosis of the deep veins draining the upper extremity. This disease is also called “effort thrombosis― because of increased association with vigorous and repetitive upper extremity activities. Symptoms include severe upper extremity pain and swelling after strenuous activity. A 31-year-old female with a history of vascular thoracic outlet syndrome, two prior thrombectomies, and right first rib resection presented with symptoms of loss of blood sensation, dull pain in the area, and sharp pain when coughing/sneezing. When the patient had her first blood clot, physical exam was notable for swelling, venous distension, and skin discoloration. The patient had her first thrombectomy in her right upper extremity a couple weeks after the first clot was discovered. Thrombolysis with TPA was initiated, and percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy with angioplasty of the axillary and subclavian veins was performed. Almost immediately after the thrombectomy, the patient had a rethrombosis which was confirmed by ultrasound.

  • The Novel Use of Nuss Bars for Reconstruction of a Massive Flail Chest
    BRIEF TECHNIQUE REPORTS The novel use of Nuss bars for reconstruction of a massive flail chest Paul E. Pacheco, MD,a Alex R. Orem, BA,a Ravindra K. Vegunta, MD, FACS,a,b Richard C. Anderson, MD, FACS,a,b and Richard H. Pearl, MD, FACS,a,b Peoria, Ill We present the case of a patient who sustained a massive flail chest from a snowmobile accident. All ribs of the right side of the chest were fractured. Nonoperative management was unsuccessful. Previously reported methods of rib stabiliza- tion were precluded given the lack of stable chest wall ele- ments to fixate or anchor the flail segments. We present a novel surgical treatment in which Nuss bars can be used for stabilization of the most severe flail chest injuries, when reconstruction of the chest is necessary and fixation of fractured segments is infeasible owing to adjacent chest wall instability. CLINICAL SUMMARY The patient was a 40-year-old male snowmobile driver who was hit by a train. Evaluation revealed severe multiple right-sided rib fractures, right scapular and clavicular frac- tures, and a left femur fracture. A thoracostomy tube was placed and intubation with mechanical ventilation instituted. With stability, he was taken for intramedullary nailing of the femur. Despite conventional efforts, he was unable to be weaned from the ventilator inasmuch as he consistently FIGURE 1.

Recurrence; Methods: Fifty patients with recurrent pectus excavatum underwent a secondary repair using the Reoperative surgery minimally invasive technique. Data were reviewed for preoperative symptomatology, surgical data, and postoperative results. Results: Prior repairs included 27 open Ravitch procedures, 23 minimally invasive (Nuss) procedures, and 2 Leonard procedures. The prior Leonard patients were also prior Ravitches and are therefore counted only once in the analyses. The median age was 16.0 years (range, 3-25 years). The median computed tomography index was 5.3 (range, 2.9-20). Presenting symptoms included shortness of breath (80%), chest pain (70%), asthma or asthma symptoms (26%), and frequent upper respiratory tract infections (14%). Both computed tomography scan and physical exam confirmed cardiac compression and cardiac displacement. Cardiology evaluations confirmed cardiac compression (62%), cardiac displacement (72%), mitral valve prolapse (22%), murmurs (24%), and other cardiac abnormalities (30%). Preoperative pulmonary function tests demonstrated values below 80% normal in more than 50% of patients.

  • Diminished Pulmonary Function in Pectus Excavatum: from Denying the Problem to Finding the Mechanism
    Featured Article Diminished pulmonary function in pectus excavatum: from denying the problem to finding the mechanism Robert E. Kelly Jr, Robert J. Obermeyer, Donald Nuss Departments of Surgery and Pediatrics, Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters, Eastern Virginia Medical School, Norfolk, Virginia, USA Correspondence to: Robert E. Kelly, Jr., MD, Surgeon-in-Chief. Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters, 601 Children’s Lane, Ste. 5B, Norfolk, Virginia, USA. Email: [email protected]; [email protected]. Background: Recently, technical improvement in the ability to measure lung function and the severity of chest deformity have enabled progress in understanding the mechanism of limitations of lung function in pectus excavatum. Methods: After establishing that most patients with pectus excavatum do have symptoms of exercise intolerance, easy fatigability, and shortness of breath with exertion, lung function has been evaluated by a variety of methods in different centers. Spirometry, plethysmography, exercise testing, oculo electronic plethysmography, and imaging methods have been used to assess lung function in pectus excavatum and its response to surgery. Results: Not all patients with pectus excavatum have subnormal static pulmonary function testing; some have above-average values. However, in more than 1500 adult and pediatric surgical patients with anatomically severe pectus excavatum at a single center, the bell curve of FVC, FEV1, and FEF 25- 75 is shifted to significantly lower values in pectus excavatum. The curve is shifted to higher values after operation by approximately one standard deviation. Previous work has demonstrated that patients with more anatomically severe pectus excavatum are more likely to have diminished PFT’s.

Chief, Division of Thoracic Surgery and Interventional Pulmonology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, 185 Pilgrim Rd. W/DC 201 Boston, MA 02215, USA. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Tracheobronchoplasty, or posterior splinting of the airway with mesh, is a durable solution for patients with severe tracheobronchomalacia (TBM). Recurrent symptoms of TBM following tracheobronchoplasty are uncommon; however, when they occur can have significant impact on quality of life. Appropriate management of recurrent TBM requires a systematic and multidisciplinary collaborative approach. We present a patient with postoperative symptom recurrence requiring revisional tracheobronchoplasty to highlight the complexity of the disease’s presentation, workup and treatment.

    Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust Oxford Heart & Lung Centre Pectus Correction surgery Information for patients Introduction This booklet is designed to provide information about your forthcoming pectus correction surgery. We appreciate that coming into hospital for pectus correction surgery may be a major event for you. The Information in this booklet will hopefully allay some of the fears and apprehensions you may have and increase your understanding of what to expect during your stay in the Oxford Heart Centre, at the John Radcliffe Hospital. Our aim is to provide a high quality service to our patients. We would therefore welcome any suggestions you may have. A patient satisfaction survey can be found in the information folder by every bed on the Cardiothoracic Unit, alternatively please speak to a member of the senior nursing team. page 2 Modified Ravitch procedure In the modified Ravitch procedure, the rib cartilages are cut away on each side and the sternum is flattened so that it will lie flat. One or more bars (or struts) may then be inserted under the sternum to ensure it keeps its shape. This is the procedure we use for complex pectus anomalies, predominantly rib deformities and for pectus carinatum. The operation involves making a horizontal cut from one side of the chest to the other. Drains are inserted on each side of the chest to remove any fluid from the surgical site and the wound is closed using dissolvable stitches. If a strut is inserted it is intended to remain in place permanently but may be removed if it causes pain or other problems.
