[Severe hemolytic anemia after mitral valvuloplasty].

A patient with mitral insufficiency is described who developed severe hemolytic anemia six months after mitral valvuloplasty. Various laboratory tests suggested that the cause of the hemolysis was mechanical. A second heart operation was therefore performed which revealed intact valve function. In view of the mechanical cause of hemolysis a bioprosthesis was implanted but the patient died shortly after this operation. Since similar cases are not found in the literature the authors invite discussion of the course in this case.

[Secondary isophageal reconstruction after resection of a cardia carcinoma (author's transl)].

Following abdomino-thoracical total gastrectomy and partial resection of the esophagus performed because of the presence of a stomac cancer located in the upper part of the organ an attempt was made to execute from a left sided thoracotomy an esophago-jejunostomy. During which it was found that the previously prepared loop of the jejunum was too short. The execution of a colon interposition in this particular operational state would have been too demanding on the patient; therefore the operation was concluded with a blind closure of the distal end of the esophagus and a jejunostomy (discussion of the resultant problems included in paper). The reconstruction of the digestive tract by retrosternal colon interposition a few weeks after the resection of the cancer proceeded without complication and with consequently excellent functional effect.

[Primary malignant melanoblastoma of the esophagus (author's transl)].

Clinical and morphological aspects based on the observation of one case of oesophageal melanoblastoma are discussed. We want to point out that the characteristic morphology of the tumor enables us to exclude melanoma metastases and thus give an exact diagnosis. The importance of oesophagoscopy for the preoperative diagnosis is emphasized; radical resection is recommended for therapy.
