Leiomyosarcoma with coronary fistulae and ventricular septal perforation： A case study

Coronary fistulae and ventricular septal perforation are very rare clinically, and even less caused by cardiac leiomyosarcoma. A case is reported that a 67-year-old female had cardiac leiomyosarcoma with progressive heart failure and coronary fistulae and ventricular septal perforation. This case was special since all ante-mortem examinations and cardiac surgery failed to detect the presence of any abnormal car-diac mass. Therefore, the malignant cardiac tumors could appear in an invasive form without mass and be one of the causes of the coronary fistulae and ventricular septal perforation.

Endoscope-assisted repair of large nasal septal perforation using a complex mucoperichondrial flap and free tissue graft

Objective To improve the closure rate of large nasal septal perforations. Methods Using an endoscope, complex mucoperichondrial/mucoperiosteal flaps on one side and free tissue graft on the other, we designed a procedure to repair large nasal septal perforations.Results In our series, 8 patients were operated on with this procedure, resulting in complete closure of the perforation and subsequent relief of symptoms. Conclusion This technique may be used as an alter?native for the repair of large nasal septal perforations.

带蒂鼻底黏膜瓣联合自体筛骨垂直板修补鼻中隔穿孔的临床观察

目的 回顾性分析带蒂鼻底黏膜瓣联合自体筛骨垂直板修补鼻中隔穿孔的疗效。方法 19例鼻中隔穿孔患者均采用鼻内镜下带蒂鼻底黏膜瓣联合筛骨垂直板修补鼻中隔穿孔,并采用纳吸棉对术后创面行填塞止血。结果19例行鼻中隔穿孔修补的患者术后随访1~3个月,17例(89.47%)患者鼻中隔黏膜均愈合良好,穿孔均修补成功,且形态恢复良好,2例(10.52%)患者因术后未能按时随访,未能观察疗效。结论 采用带蒂鼻底黏膜瓣联合自体筛骨垂直板修补鼻中隔穿孔,自体组织取材方便,经济实惠,无排异反应,带蒂鼻底黏膜瓣血供好,修补成活率高,疗效可靠。
