stenting of the vertical vein in obstructed total anomalous pulmonary venous return as rescue procedure in a neonate
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2006Co-Authors: Shirley M Loanjoe, Nico A Blom, Regina Bokenkamp, Jaap OttenkampAbstract:A newborn girl with progressive respiratory distress and cyanosis was found to have severely obstructed supracardiac total pulmonary venous return (TAPVR). Stenting of the stenosis provided immediate and effective relief of the obstruction until Corrective Surgery was performed. Catheter intervention should be considered in high-risk infants with obstructed supracardiac TAPVR as part of the strategy for preoperative cardiovascular stabilization.

posterior Corrective Surgery with a multilevel transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion and a rod rotation maneuver for patients with degenerative lumbar kyphoscoliosis
Journal of Neurosurgery, 2017Co-Authors: Akira Matsumura, Takashi Namikawa, Minori Kato, Tomonori Ozaki, Yusuke S Hori, Noriaki Hidaka, Hiroaki NakamuraAbstract:The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical results of posterior Corrective Surgery using a multilevel transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) with a rod rotation (RR) and to evaluate the segmental Corrective effect of a TLIF using CT imaging. The medical records of 15 consecutive patients with degenerative lumbar kyphoscoliosis (DLKS) who had undergone posterior spinal Corrective Surgery using a multilevel TLIF with an RR technique and who had a minimum follow-up of 2 years were retrospectively reviewed. Radiographic parameters were evaluated using plain radiographs, and segmental correction was evaluated using CT imaging. Clinical outcomes were evaluated with the Scoliosis Research Society Patient Questionnaire-22 (SRS-22) and the SF-36. The mean follow-up period was 46.7 months, and the mean age at the time of Surgery was 60.7 years. The mean total SRS-22 score was 2.9 before Surgery and significantly improved to 4.0 at the latest follow-up. The physical functioning, role functioning (physical), and social functioning subcategories of the SF-36 were generally improved at the latest follow-up, although the changes in these scores were not statistically significant. The bodily pain, vitality, and mental health subcategories were significantly improved at the latest follow-up (p < 0.05). Three complications occurred in 3 patients (20%). The Cobb angle of the lumbar curve was reduced to 20.3° after Surgery. The overall correction rate was 66.4%. The pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis (preoperative/postoperative = 31.5°/4.3°), pelvic tilt (29.2°/18.9°), and sagittal vertical axis (78.3/27.6 mm) were improved after Surgery and remained so throughout the follow-up. Computed tomography image analysis suggested that a 1-level TLIF can result in 10.9° of scoliosis correction and 6.8° of lordosis. Posterior Corrective Surgery using a multilevel TLIF with an RR on patients with DLKS can provide effective correction in the coronal plane but allows only limited sagittal correction.

demographic features in unilateral condylar hyperplasia an overview of 309 asymmetric cases and presentation of an algorithm
Journal of Cranio-maxillofacial Surgery, 2018Co-Authors: J W Nolte, R Schreurs, L H E Karssemakers, D B Tuinzing, A G BeckingAbstract:Abstract Purpose Unilateral Condylar Hyperplasia (UCH) is an acquired deformity of the mandible, which can highly influence the symmetry of the face due to its progressive nature. It is caused by growth resembling pathology in one of the mandibular condyles. Definition as well as classification is subject to discussion. The aim of this study is to evaluate a large cohort of alleged UCH patients, and to describe the clinical characteristics, demographic features, classification and follow up. Secondly an algorithm is presented, in order to achieve uniformity in diagnosis and treatment. Patients and methods From 1994 to 2014 a database of consecutive patients from 3 maxillofacial departments (Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam; VU Medical Center, Amsterdam and Spaarne Gasthuis, Haarlem) with suspected UCH was set up. Patients were referred by orthodontists, dentists, general practitioners or maxillofacial surgeons. Demographic features, bonescan outcomes, laterality, classification and follow-up were noted. Secondarily, all patients were retrospectively diagnosed by one surgeon (JWN), using available documentation. Missing data and follow-up were additionally retrieved from orthodontic offices. Results 394 asymmetric patients were evaluated. In 309 (78%) patients, the diagnosis UCH was justified and SPECT data were available. The mean age at presentation was 20.3 years (SD ± 7.7, range 9.0–54.5 years). In 48% of the patients, the bonescan was positive. 80% of these patients received surgical treatment, of which 62% were treated with a condylectomy only, 33% were treated with condylectomy plus additive Corrective Surgery, and 5% underwent Corrective Surgery only. Of the patient group without positive bonescan 42% of the patients received surgical treatment: 34% condylectomy only, 15% condylectomy plus additive Corrective Surgery, and 51% Corrective Surgery only. In total (N = 309) 96 (31%) patients underwent condylectomy as only surgical treatment and 124 (40%) patients received no surgical treatment at all. Treatment could be finalized with orthodontic treatment without further Surgery in 64% and 41% respectively. 96 patients were subject to comparison of the classification as noted by the clinician and the author (JWN). In only 72% of the cases, the secondary screening was in agreement with the initial classification. Conclusion Based on this study not all (active) UCH patients require Corrective (orthognathic) Surgery. A (transoral) partial condylectomy for active patients is recommended, with a postoperative remodeling period of 6 months with or without orthodontic treatment. Second stage correcting Surgery may be necessary upon evaluation, using general orthognathic diagnostic and planning procedures. It appears difficult to classify patients reliably using the available clinical and radiological documentation. Objectivity and quantification in the diagnostic process is necessary: uniformity in documentation and parameters. The attached documentation form and UCH treatment algorithm is recommended.
