On the other hand, it is serious by its complications, in particular embolic. The diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome in connection with a myxoma of the left atrium is retained before the association of an emboligenic intracardiac myxoma and an acute coronary syndrome in the absence of atherosclerotic lesions and the absence of intracardiac thrombus. We report a case of left atrium myxoma complicated by acute coronary syndrome in a 50-year-old patient operated on in our department and we will review the literature.展开更多

Patients and Methods: This was a retrospective and descriptive study that took place from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2017. The records of patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease in the “B” surgery department of Point G University Hospital were collected. Patients operated on for cyanotic congenital heart disease were included in this study. Non-operated patients were not included. Results: The records of 17 patients operated on for cyanotic congenital heart disease were retained. The average age of patients at the time of surgery was 5.18 years with extremes of 2 and 18 years. Boys were in the majority with 59%, i.e. a sex ratio of 1.42. Patients resided in Bamako in 82% of cases. Inbreeding was found in 35.3%. Eighty-eight percent of children were born at term and 94% had up-to-date vaccination status. The average duration of patient follow-up between diagnosis and surgical management was 5 years with extremes of 2 years and 12 years. Tetralogy of Fallot regular form was the most represented heart disease. Conclusion: Cyanogenic congenital heart disease remains the most frequent congenital pathologies in our country. They most often affect male children. Consanguinity is the most common etiological factor found. Tetralogy of Fallot regular form remains the most common.展开更多

We report our clinical observation on the management under extracorporeal circulation of a patient with renal insufficiency with a high-flow arteriovenous fistula. This is a 59-year-old man who was referred to us for surgical treatment of ischemic coronary artery disease in a context of anuric chronic renal failure. Hypothermia at 32°C is started from the start in CEC due to hyperflow at the level of the arteriovenous fistula. We performed two coronary artery bypasses of the marginal and IVA via the two internal thoracic arteries. The patient is hemofiltered in order to avoid hyperkalaemia and possibly avoid fluid overload related to filling per CEC. The clamping time was 71 minutes and the SCC lasted 141 minutes. There was no homologous transfusion in the operating room. It turns out that the input/output balance is zero at the end of the CEC. The postoperative course was simple.展开更多
