Staphylococcal pericarditis with pyopericardium.

Seven previously well patients with acute staphylococcal pericarditis and purulent pericardial effusion are described. All had a septicaemic illness in which worsening heart failure with signs of cardiac tamponade became the major problems of management. Tropical pyomyositis was probably the predisposing illness in four patients. This number of proven cases within an 18-month period suggests that staphylococcal pyopericardium is in a tropical environment probably commoner than realised.

Aortic insufficiency. A result of intermittent migration of aortic valve prosthesis poppet.

A bizarre mechanism of aortic valve incompetence was observed when the occluder of a Braunwald-Cutter aortic valve prosthesis decreased in diameter, volume, and weight, and from time to time fell into the left ventricle. The patient's symptoms were palpitation, coughing, chocking sensations, and fright. An operation disclosed a small, smooth ball with disrupted cloth on all the struts. The residual torn mesh was removed, and the ball was replaced.

Simultaneous bilateral carotid endarterectomies.

Twelve patients with bilateral symptomatic lesions of internal carotid arteries have had bilateral carotid endarterectomy at single operations without complications. These were patients up to age 80 who had prior mycardial infarction, stroke with recovery, and hemispheric and nonhemispheric episodes. Neurologist's clearance and three- or four-vessel intracranial-extracranial angiography preceded all operations, which were performed with the patient under general anesthesia. Stump pressure measurements were the principal guideline of adequacy of collateral flow and predictor of safe outcome. The safety of this concept of bilateral operations during one anesthesia can eliminate uncertainties of sequence and timing, obviate delay and indecision, and avoid the hazards of a second anesthetic-operative experience.

Colostomy. Intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal closure?

Forty-three patients who underwent intraperitoneal closure of colostomy are reported on. Complication rates of 4.6 per cent for wound infection and 4.6 per cent for fecal fistulas appear significantly lower than the 10 to 21 per cent complication rates reported for colostomy closure using other technics.
