Early recovery of albumin synthesis after liver transplantation.

The delay necessary for an orthotopic transplanted liver to recover in normal activity has never been defined. This is of great importance whenever liver transplantation is considered in patients with severe liver insufficiency. This delay was studied in dogs using albumin synthesis and BSP clearance as tests of liver function. Albumin synthesis was normal as early as 2 h following graft revascularization while BSP clearance was not yet normal by this time. It is suggested that transplanted livers will be rapidly able to corect metabolic disorders and above all coagulation problems in patients with terminal hepatic failure.

[Septal perforation of myocardial infarct. Progress and limitation of current treatment. Apropos of 28 recent cases].

The emergency treatment of septal perforation in a myocardial infarction was markedly improved by pre-operative preparation of the patient by an intra-aortic balloon. If one excludes 7 cases in which the favourable immediate course made possible a delayed operation, 21 cases, severe from the start, were observed in the last two years: 8 patients, were thought to be operable with 6 successes. The type of the patient, the age, the associated diseases, the gravity and extension of the local lesions explain that this complication nevertheless still remains very often beyond the present possibilities of the medical-surgical treatment.

Primary endotheliosarcoma of the thoracic aorta.

A case of thoracic aortic endotheliosarcoma is reported. The diagnosis of an endothelial neoplasm was confirmed by ultrastructural study and the use of cell markers: Antigene VII, Antigene H and a Lectin: Ulex Europaeus 1. The macroscopic aspect was particular. There were buds on the aortic intima. The tumor growing along the intimal surface, had invaded and destroyed the vascular wall. There was a stenosis of the origin of the innominate artery and a total obstruction of the left subclavian artery.

[Aorto-pulmonary windows. Report of fifteen cases (author's transl)].

Fifteen aorto-pulmonary windows have been operated on patients 1,5 months to 6 years old. 6 were associated with other cardiac malformations (ductus arteriosus, VSD, mitral insufficiency, aortic arch atresia). 5 cases died. 3 had other cardiac malformations associated. 10 have an average follow-up of 5 1/2 years. The authors insist on the severity of the cases with high pulmonary pressure, and advise operation during the first year of life.
