Aneurysmal change of the ductus arteriosus after prostaglandin E1 administration for pulmonary atresia: demonstration with magnetic resonance imaging.

We report a case of pulmonary atresia in which the ductus arteriosus underwent aneurysmal dilatation after infusion of prostaglandin E1 incorporated in lipid microspheres. To our knowledge this is the first case in which this rare morphological change has been demonstrated with the noninvasive method of magnetic resonance imaging.

Video-assisted cardioscopy for infectious endocarditis.

We successfully resected vegetation of infectious endocarditis in right ventricular outflow tract using a video-assisted cardioscopy without ventriculotomy. Video-assisted cardioscopy provided clear and precise visualization of vegetation on the anterior wall of right ventricular outflow. This technique is effective to visualize remote intra-cardiac structures, and to facilitate repairs, while avoiding the need for extended cardiac incisions.

Usefulness of intraoperative color doppler ultrasonography in decision making regarding conversion of an accessory hepatic vein after a Fontan-type operation.

An accessory hepatic vein (AHV) after a Fontan-type operation will result in progressive desaturation if left intact. We report a case in which intraoperative color Doppler ultrasonography revealed the absence of AHV flow and reversed portal vein flow when the AHV was clamped, suggesting that simple ligation of the AHV would lead to liver dysfunction in the area affected. Based on the results of the ultrasonography evaluations, diversion of the AHV into the pulmonary circulation was performed without cardiopulmonary bypass, and the clinical outcome has been favorable.
