 Abstract
 PDF
- May-Thurner syndrome is an anatomic variant in which the left common iliac vein is compressed by the right common iliac artery. The most frequent clinical presentation is deep vein thrombosis of the left lower extremity. We report the perioperative management in a patient with May-Thurner syndrome undergoing an open reduction of a tibia fracture.
The patient developed deep vein thrombosis of the left lower extremity and had an endovascular stent placed approximately 1 year earlier. An important aspect of the perioperative management in a patient with May-Thurner syndrome is to prevent deep vein thrombosis. We monitored the activated clotting time during the intraoperative period.

Abstract

- Supraventricular arrhythmias during and after thoracotomy for pulmonary resections are well documented, and risk factors of post-pulmonary resection arrhythmias are old age, magnitude of surgery, and coexisting cardiopulmonary disease etc. Among of supraventricular arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation is the most common rhythm disturbance that may be associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We experienced a case of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia with severe hypotension which was escalated from atrial fibrillation during pulmonary bilobectomy for tuberculosis in a 44-year old male patient. Instead of usual electrical cardioversion or common antiarrhythmic agents, we selected phenylephrine bolus injection which induced normal sinus rhythm successfully from paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia of the patient.

Abstract
PDF
- Central venous catheterization is one of the common procedures in the care of critically ill patients but numerous major complications have been reported. This report is about a case of sequential complications that were developed after two attempts of subclavian venous catheterization via supraclavicular approach for a critically ill 1.5 kg premature infant in intensive care unit. In the first attempt, the guidewire was cut and remained in the right atrium but fortunately removed without surgery. In the second attempt for the same patient, the catheter positioned out of the vessel. It was in right pleural cavity and caused hydrothorax. After third attempt, successful left subclavian vein catheterization was done.
