[Laparoscopically-assisted aortofemoral bypass].

The authors present a case-history of a patient with occlusion of the pelvic arteries where they implemented an implantation of a bifurcation prosthesis with laparoscopic assistance. Preparations of the abdominal aorta, application of clamps, aortotomy and completion of the prostheto-aortal anastomosis was implemented by laparoscopy. The authors own experience and reports in the literature indicate that the laparoscopic approach may represent in addition to angioplasties with stenting a modern mini-invasive approach in vascular surgery.

[Midazolam during cardiac pacemaker implantation].

Midazolam (Dormicum Roche) was administered to 40 patients aged 68 +/- 11 years (5 mg by the i.v. route), along with phentanyl and droperidol before primo-implantation or replacement of pacemaker under local anaesthesia. Another 5 mg were administered at the end of the operation before the final skin suture. In all patients a favourable sedative effect was achieved with rapid regression after the operation was completed, in the majority with retrograde amnesia. None of the patients developed respiratory arrest or mental alteration during the postoperative period, while in an equal number of patients in the control group both complications occurred three times.
