[Thromboembolic disease in obstetrics. Current concepts].

Thromboembolic disease during pregnancy and confinement is an important cause of mortality and obstetric morbidity. The onset of thromboembolic disease is caused by vascular damage, stasis and hypercoagulability, factors which are all present during gestation. All A. agree that it is of fundamental importance to intervene immediately in cases of active thromboembolic disease, but also to take suitable prophylactic measures to prevent the onset of disease.

[Uterine fibromyoma in pregnancy].

Data are reported relating to the study of 100 pregnant women, aged between 30 and 49 years old, effected by one or more fibroma nodules on the body of the womb. From an analysis of results, it appears that appropriate obstetric care can significantly reduce the risk of both maternal and fetal complications.

[Inflammation of the uterine corpus: endometritis].

In industrialised countries endometritis is a problem which represents an increasing risk to personal health and to society. In almost all cases the inflammatory process which affects the uterine mucosa forms part of a more generalised infection which involves the entire internal genital system (PID). The most important problem associated with pelvic phlogosis is increased sterility, a greater number of ectopic pregnancies and chronic pelvic pain. In order to treat the symptoms of genito-pelvic infection, an early diagnosis and adequate medical therapy are indispensable. In this event it may be possible to prevent invalidating effects on fertility and chronic pelvic pain.

[Percutaneous pulmonary valvuloplasty in adults. An immediate evaluation and follow-up of 3 cases].

The immediate and late results of percutaneous pulmonary valvuloplasty in three symptomatic adult patients (21, 38 and 45 years) with severe pulmonary valve stenosis are reported. The right ventricle-pulmonary artery gradient fell from 135 mmHg to 50 mmHg in patient n. 1, from 124 mmHg to 95 mmHg in patient n. 2 and from 132 mmHg to 27 mmHg in patient n. 3. Six months later a further hemodynamic study showed a further reduction in the gradient in patient n. 1 and n. 2 (28 and 33 mmHg). A year and half after of clinical follow-up symptomatic improvement is still present without any clinical or echo-Doppler signs of restenosis. In conclusion, percutaneous pulmonary valvuloplasty is a simple and safe procedure for severe pulmonary valve stenosis even in adults with immediate and long-term good results.
