Cardiomyoplasty review: physiological principles and characteristics of electrically stimulated skeletal muscle. II. A therapeutic option.

Chronic heart failure continues unsolved as ever despite recent advances in cardiac surgery and pharmacological new armamentarium and remains a significant cause of death, regardless of etiology. Cardiomyoplasty (CMP), a new form of biomechanical ventricular support, has given new life to the field of mechanical circulatory support, providing a "bridge" to transplantation and serving as a possible alternative to surgical treatment. The geographic distribution of world experience in 401 patients shows that 80% were centralized in Europe (50%) and South America (30%). This review of the data analysis, documented improved changes in patients clinical status, further clarifies and appropriate patients population indications for DCMP as well as that more than 80% survival probability for NYHA class II & III and an early procedure related mortality of 8 to 10%.

[Approach methods to the central venous system].

Personal experience in the aggression of the CNS for various purposes is considered. It is thought that the internal trans-jugular route is the easiest approach and procedures the fewest complications with appropriate techniques.

[Treatment of septic complications in diverticular disease of the colon].

Eight years' experience in the treatment of the septic complications of diverticular disease of the colon is examined and 44 cases treated in the period 1980-1988 are considered. The Hartman procedure gave good results in the majority of cases; other procedures such as drainage with colostomy, or anastomosis resection during a single intervention are reserved for particular cases. In addition, on examining the case histories and the current literature it seems that it is correct to treat DD (diverticular disease) surgically whenever the typical manifestations of the overt disease appear; waiting often represents nothing more than a postponement of the surgical treatment until an emergency arises.

[Value of axillary lymphadenectomy in malignant tumors of the breast. Apropos of 135 controlled cases].

Personal experience in the treatment of breast cancer is reported along with the results of 135 cases in which long-term follow-up was carried out. The results are in line with what has been observed in the recent literature. Study of therapeutically removed axillary lymph nodes proved to be the main factor on which to base prognostic judgment and programmes of multidisciplinary treatment, if applicable. Further elements derive from hormonal receptors and, in future, from the study of cell kinetics with tritiated thymidine.

Computerized angioscintigraphy and ultrasound imaging in the management of renal transplants.

The effectiveness of Computerized Renal Angioscintigraphy with 99m-Tc-DTPA and Ultrasound in the differential diagnosis of complications after kidney transplant was evaluated. 13 patients were studied; 6 with a normal graft, 2 with acute tubular necrosis and 5 with an acute rejection episode. Technectium scan and ultrasound diagnosis were in good agreement with clinical assessment resulting in 1.00 and 0.92 sensitivity respectively. The most valuable features of radionuclide and ultrasound techniques are: noninvasiveness, simplicity, rapidity and reproducibility. The selection of a course of treatment could be usefully helped or supported by data obtained from scintigraphy and ultrasound.
