[Applicability of ultrasonic B-scan diagnosis to localisation of intra-uterine contraceptive devices (author's transl)].

The types Dana super and Copper T intra-uterine devices (IUD) were reliably localised by ultrasonic B-scanning in 100 patients. Five dislocalisations were recorded and one erroneous interpretation in a case of uterus myomatosus. The method was found to be applicable to screening test and is recommended particularly for the following cases: clinically undetectable thread, following insertion, before removal of IUD, and in early pregnancy by the tenth gestational week.

Percutaneous transfemoral retrieval of the "runaway" ventriculoatrial shunt.

A 22-year-old man with a ventriculoatrial shunt was admitted to hospital for investigation of headache, nausea and vomiting. During a procedure done to convert the ventriculoatrial shunt to the ventriculoperitoneal type, the shunt tubing was inadvertently cut in the neck. The atrial end was found to have migrated into the right atrium. It was recovered by percutaneous cardiac catheterization through the femoral vein. The patient tolerated the procedure well. The authors believe that this method of retrieval is easier and carries less operative risk than previously reported methods.

[Complications after pacemaker-implantation and their treatment (author's transl)].

Of the 1050 pacemaker-implantations in the German Heart Centre in Munich from April 1974 to December 1977 complications arose in 229 cases necessitating a renewed surgical intervention. In accordance with the literature the dislocation of electrodes was the most frequent complication in the first days and weeks after implantation in our patients wil 11,1%. In cases of electrode dislocation the repositioning of the electrode is necessary; in certain cases an epi-myocardial electrode must be substituted for the usual transvenous electrode. Essential causes of complications were disturbances in woundhealing, necrosis of the skin and infection of the pacemaker-system, which were seen in 3,7% of all cases. In the case of infection of therapy of choice is the explntation of the pacemaker and the implantation of a new system in another position. Technical complications due to material are electrode fractures and battery defects. Complications due to material defects necessitate the exchange of the pacemaker or the electrode. Rare indications for reoperation were increase in threshold, muscle stimulation and allergi reactions caused by pacemakers.

[Wandering of foreign bodies. (Grenate fragment in the common bile duct causing jaundice)].

This report deals with the "wandering" of foreign bodies and their cause. The rarity of such occurrences is emphasised. Two cases are presented, in the first patient a grenade splinter was removed from the common bile duct 33 years after injury; there are only seven instances in the literature of this condition. In the other case a mandrin was injected into an arm vein and travelled to the bifurcation of the abdominal aorta causing an aneurysm. According to the definition given by Schwaiger (1948) these 2 cases belong to the groups 2 and 3. In the case of the grenade splinter it is a secondary "wandering" from parenchymatous tissue to the biliary tract from where the splinter was able to descent the tract.

Successful surgical correction of an embolized prosthetic valve poppet: case report.

Embolization of a prosthetic valve poppet, a rare complication following valve replacement, has been, until recently, generally fatal. Immediate recognition followed by replacement of the poppet or valve and extraction of the embolized poppet is the only feasible approach. Recently, a patient was seen was seen shortly after the onset of acute pulmonary edema with wide-open mitral regurgitation. A diagnosis of extrusion of the poppet from a previously placed prosthetic valve was confirmed and a successful mitral valve replacement accomplished. The nonradiopaque poppet, subsequently localized by an ultrasound B-sac, was removed from the lower abdominal aorta at a later operation. We believe this to be the second reported case of survival following successful reoperation for embolization of a prosthetic poppet.
