[Synchronous left atrial myxoma and gastric cancer: a case report]. / Sinkhronnye miksoma levogo predserdiya i rak zheludka. Klinicheskii sluchai.

The authors present a 57-year-old patient with synchronous left atrial myxoma and gastric cancer undergoing staged treatment. Distal gastrectomy with gastroduodenostomy at the first stage was followed by resection of the left atrial myxoma after 22 days. Postoperative period was uneventful after both interventions. The follow-up examination revealed favorable clinical status and no cancer progression.

[The Case of Successful Surgical Treatment of a Patient With Thoracic Endograft Infection in 5 Years After Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair].

We present here a case of successful staged treatment of a patient with para-aortic abscess that arose 5 years after thoracic endovascular aortic repair because of thoracic aortic aneurysm. After stabilization of the patient's condition by intensive antibiotic therapy we performed left-subclavian extra-thoracic debranching as the first stage of the surgical treatment. In 2 weeks via median sternotomy and on-pump we removed the infected endograft and performed extraanatomical ascending-to-descending aortic bypass with good postoperative result.

[Infectious complications after endoprosthetic repair of the thoracic aorta]. / Infektsionnye oslozhnenii pri éndoprotezirovanii grudnoi aorty.

Presented herein is a review of publications of foreign authors on the problem of infectious complications after endoprosthetic repair of the thoracic aorta. The problem discussed is of current importance, however in the Russian literature it is covered insufficiently. The article contains the data on frequency, terms and possible causes of the development of complications, also discussing the problems of diagnosis. The authors demonstrate extreme danger of infection of an aortic stent graft, difficulty of early diagnosis and mostly unsatisfactory therapeutic outcomes. Also noted are possible ways of prevention of complications and aimed at improving the results of this extremely severe patient cohort.
