Abstract

The Damus-Stansel-Kaye procedure has been applied for the relief of outflow tract obstruction caused by a restrictive bulboventricular foramen or subaortic stenosis in patients with complex univentricular heart disease. The procedure may also be part of a biventricular repair of a Taussig-Bing transposition of the great arteries. This report details technical modifications of the procedure to ensure unobstructed blood flow from the pulmonary artery to the aorta and to maintain the integrity of the pulmonary and aortic valves.

Intrathoracic tracheal avulsion and pseudodiverticulum following pneumomediastinum in a cat.

A case of tracheal avulsion with pneumomediastinum and pseudodiverticulum formation in a cat is described. Radiographs taken at initial presentation showed a pneumomediastinum with fractures of the right first to sixth ribs. Conservative treatment resolved the pneumomediastinum but following initial improvement the cat developed dyspnoea. Radiography and image intensification at this time showed a tracheal diverticulum at the level of the fourth rib. Surgical resection of the diverticulum and stenotic tracheal ends was performed via a right fourth intercostal lateral thoracotomy. The airway was maintained throughout the procedure using a bridging endotracheal tube. The cat made an unremarkable recovery following surgery.

Extramedullary plasmacytoma in the trachea of a dog.

A 10-year-old spayed female mixed-breed dog was examined because of acute inspiratory dyspnea. Radiography and tracheoscopy revealed a discrete, solitary mass originating from the membranous portion of the trachea at the level of the thoracic inlet. Tracheal resection and anastomosis were performed, and on histologic examination of the resected tissue, extramedullary plasmacytoma was diagnosed. Although tracheal tumors are rare in dogs, they should be considered during evaluation of dogs with signs of airway obstruction. Prognosis is excellent for dogs with extramedullary plasmacytoma in which surgical excision is complete.

An atypical case of adult Moyamoya disease with initial onset of brain stem ischemia.

We present an atypical case of adult moyamoya disease whose clinical onset consisted of ischemic symptoms of the brain stem. She initially presented with left hemisensory disturbance caused by a pontine lesion, followed by a myelopathy of the upper cervical spinal cord. Eight months later, she presented with left hemiplegia and disturbed consciousness. Magnetic resonance angiography showed significant narrowing of both horizontal portions of the middle cerebral arteries (M1). Conventional angiography revealed bilateral occlusion of the internal carotid arteries. Her anterior circulation was supplied from the vertebro-basilar system through Moyamoya vessels and leptomeningeal collaterals. The intracranial steal phenomenon was thought to be the reason for the preceding events in the brain stem and upper cervical spinal cord. In addition, transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCS) showed identical findings to conventional angiography with antegrade flow in the proximal M1 and retrograde flow in the distal M1. Thus, TCCS was useful for diagnosing the M1 occlusion in this case of Moyamoya disease.
