Intravascular ultrasound to assess anastomotic patency after lung transplantation.

Pulmonary arterial anastomotic stenosis is an unusual complication after single-lung transplantation. Intravascular ultrasound, performed at the bedside with an introducer sheath and guidewire, is a new technique that provides high-resolution tomographic images of the anastomotic site. This modality was used early in the postoperative course of a 58-year-old man to exclude significant pulmonary arterial anastomotic narrowing after right single-lung transplantation for primary pulmonary hypertension.

Lung transplantation for congenital pulmonary vein stenosis.

BACKGROUND: Congenital pulmonary vein stenosis is a uniformly fatal disease when left untreated. Transcatheter techniques (for example, balloon dilation and stent placement) have proved to be only temporizing measures, and previous surgical attempts at treatment of this entity have provided little improvement and few survivors. METHODS: Over the last 4 years, 6 patients with congenital pulmonary vein stenosis have been treated at our institution, 3 of whom underwent bilateral sequential lung transplantation. RESULTS: The 3 patients who underwent bilateral lung transplantation are alive and well 6 to 24 months after transplantation. The other 3 died of complications of the disease before donor lungs became available. CONCLUSIONS: Making the diagnosis of congenital pulmonary vein stenosis requires a high index of suspicion, and referral for lung transplantation should be made as soon as the diagnosis is reached. Lung transplantation has resulted in good-quality short to medium-term survival for 3 patients with this otherwise untreatable disease.

A neurovascular island flap including a vein for the treatment of an acquired ring constriction.

We present a case of an acquired constriction band caused by a tight ring on the left middle finger of a 45-year-old man. Most of the constriction band was excised and the resulting defect reconstructed with a neurovascular island flap, including a dorsal digital vein, from the adjacent ring finger. The distal end of the artery and the nerve in the flap were anastomosed and coapted to the digital artery and nerve, respectively, at the distal edge of the defect after excision of the band. The vein in the flap was anastomosed to a dorsal vein at both the distal and proximal edges of the flap as a vascularised interpositional vein graft. Four months later, the remaining constriction band was excised and the defect closed by an advancement flap. Swelling of the finger decreased and sensation improved.
