Abdominal aortic aneurysm and renal hamartoma in an infant with tuberous sclerosis.

A case is presented of an infant with tuberous sclerosis admitted with status epilepticus. When the seizures were controlled, it was found that the child was hypertensive. A large renal tumor and an abdominal aortic aneurysm was found during the hypertensive evaluation. She underwent abdominal aortic aneurysm resection and radical nephrectomy, and vascular continuity was re-established sucessfully with a Dacron prosthesis. The technique is illustrated. The reconstruction is patent one year following reconstruction. The etiology of the aneurysm is discussed.

Axillary-axillary bovine arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis.

A preliminary evaluation of bovine carotid artery heterografts as axillary-axillary arteriovenous fistulas suggests that this graft may be an easily constructed and easily utilized portal for hemodialysis cannulation. At present, this fistula should be reserved for use when all other commonly employed peripheral sites and methods of constructing arteriovenous fistulas have been exhausted.

Practical office technics for physiologic vascular testing.

The development of the Doppler ultrasonic flow velocity detector has improved diagnostic accuracy in peripheral arterial occlusive disease. Survey of the peripheral vessels with the Doppler ultrasonic flow velocity detector, measurement of systolic arterial blood pressure at the ankle and arm, and exercise testing are three easily done tests which may be readily carried out in the doctor's office and which provide useful information. Noninvasive vascular testing should be in the armamentarium of all primary care physicians.

Pseudoaneurysm of the brachiocephalic arteries: a complication of percutaneous internal jugular vein catheterization.

Three cases of arterial pseudoaneurysm formation as a complication of percutaneous internal jugular vein catheterization are presented. Laceration of the posterior common carotid artery or thyrocervical trunk was the source for these lesions. The common antecedent event was the attempted cannulation of the internal jugular vein with the lateral approach. A transcervical rather than transthoracic approach for treatment of these lesions was selected because of its low morbidity rate. This report documents another complication of internal jugular vein cannulation and recommends methods for prevention and successful treatment should it occur.

Dissimilar metals in a rib spreader a surgical electrical hazard.

A case is presented and electrochemical theory is discussed in a situation in which a battery was produced between two dissimilar metals in a Finochietto rib spreader. The problem developed in the thorax of a patient undergoing transthoracic cervical sympathectomy and resection of the first rib. Caution is advised in the use of dissimilar metals in patients undergoing surgery.
