[Value of Soludactone in cardiac surgery in adults].

The use of potassium canrenoate (Soludactone) in the post-operative period in 31 patients who had undergone open-heart surgery, in comparison with a control batch of patients, led to a more rapid and easier regression of myocardial hyperexcitability, the maintenance of kaliemia at values near normal, a reduction in kaliuresis, a rapid elevation of the urinary Na/K ratio and the maintenance of satisfactory diuresis. But the majority of these effects appear progressively during the first 3 days of treatment, so potassium canrenoate should be prescribed 3 days before the intervention so that the beneficial effects may be manifested from the day of the intervention itself.

[2 cases of chylothorax caused by catheterization of left large venous trunks].

The authors present two cases of almost certain catheterization of the thoracic duct, by infusion catheters placed in the large veins at the base of the neck (once in the left internal jugular, once in the left subclavian). Their clinical manifestaztions are the existence of a rapidly progressive pleural effusion, apart from the abnormal course of the catheter. Removal of the catheter is sufficient to lead to the disappearance of the symptomatology, so that it is difficult to speak of an accident as such, but rather of an incident. These incidents could be avoided by systematic radiography from the time that the catheter is placed in position or the positioning of the latter under control by brilliance amplifier.
