A 65-year-old gentleman with claudication underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography. The scan showed occlusion of the infrarenal abdominal aorta and a 6.0 × 3.7 cm saccular zone-3 arch aneurysm. The left ventricular ejection fraction was 35% and a coronary angiogram revealed triple-vessel disease. In view of the patient's high risk with EuroSCORE II 20.34%, coronary artery surgery was combined with hybrid type I arch aneurysm repair. An endovascular stent was delivered in an antegrade manner. Open heart surgery and a hybrid type I arch intervention can be performed simultaneously through a midline sternotomy approach.
within endoscopic reach, both > 2 cm in diameter & > 5 cm in length. There were no deaths due to FB ingestion. Conclusions This is the largest study of Endoscopic FB removal from Western India. This study showed that the majority of the FB were ingested by children. Even those with injury to the bowel were asymptomatic. Since the size of FB did not determine it being within the reach of the endoscope and Groups S, NS & C FBs are associated with injury to the bowel; we propose an attempt at removal should be made in all patients, whether symptomatic or not.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
