Complication of portal vein thrombosis after right hemihepatectomy in a patient lacking the portal vein bifurcation.
Absence of portal vein bifurcation is a rare anomaly. We report a patient with this anomaly who underwent right hemihepatectomy for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Although the procedure was carefully performed with a preoperative three-dimensional simulation and intraoperative cholangiography, postoperative portal vein thrombosis occurred. J. Med. Invest. 63: 315-318, August, 2016.
The article entitled Effect of transcatheter aortic valve replacement on P-wave duration, P-wave dispersion and left atrial size by Dursun, et al.[1] has contributed to our knowledge regarding the positive effects of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure on atrial electrical remodeling. In this study, TAVR procedure led to a decrease on P-wave duration and P-wave dispersion.
