Absent right superior vena cava and persistent left superior vena cava. Clinical and surgical considerations.

From 4,100 patients who had cardiac catheterization for congenital heart disease and " normocardia ", 6 were found to have a persistent left superior vena cava ( PLSVC ) and an absence of right superior vena cava ( RSVC ). Because of the rarity of this finding (1.46%) the clinical and surgical implications are considered. Four of them were successfully operated upon.

Total pericardiectomy for chronic constrictive pericarditis using femoro-femoral bypass.

A technique of total pericardiectomy for chronic constrictive pericarditis is presented. The authors have used a femoro-femoral cardiopulmonary bypass in nine cases of constrictive pericarditis to prevent the complications of the traditional approach. The advantages of this technique in comparison to the performance of pericardiectomy without the use of extracorporeal circulation (ECC) or with standard ECC are discussed.

Chylothorax following cardiac surgery in children.

Eleven cases of chylothorax following cardiac surgery in children are described. Conservative treatment was carried out with success in all patients but one, who died because of the underlying cardiac pathology, with the chylothorax still present. Our results indicate that conservative treatment is effective in children, although surgery has been previously considered by some authors as the treatment of choice in this age group.
