Multiple intracranial aneurysms and moyamoya disease associated with microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II: surgical considerations.

30 Oct 2009 Microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II (MOPD II) is a rare genetic syndrome characterized by extremely small stature and microcephaly, and is associated in 25% of patients with intracranial aneurysms and moyamoya disease. Although ... Read more...

Temporary extracorporeal jugulosaphenous bypass for the peri-operative management of patients with superior vena caval obstruction: a report of three cases.

30 Oct 2009 Superior vena caval obstruction from a mediastinal mass presents a significant risk to patients requiring general anaesthesia, with reports of sudden death on induction of anaesthesia, during intubation and on initiation of positive pressure ... Read more...

A modified composite valve Dacron graft for prevention of postoperative bleeding from the proximal anastomosis after Bentall procedure.

30 Oct 2009 Bleeding is one of the most devastating complications of the Bentall procedure. We describe a simple, modified composite valve Dacron (DuPont, Wilmington, DE) graft to prevent bleeding from the proximal anastomosis between the graft and aortic ... Read more...
