Renal infarction and thrombosis of the infrarenal aorta in a 35-year-old man with primary antiphospholipid syndrome

Aortography in a I7-year-old girl showed nonspecific stenosing aortitis affecting the abdominal aorta, the renal arteries on both sides, and the left subclavian artery. The central aortic pressure was i8o/Ii5 mmHg. Prednisolone was administeredfor 8 months, and subsequently aortography was done annually on 3 occasions. This showed a pronounced regression in the stenotic lesions of the aorta and renal arteries; concomitantly the central aortic pressure returned to normal.

Reversal of renovascular hypertension caused by nonspecific aortitis after corticosteroid therapy.

Transplantation of the heart and both lungs as a form of therapy is clearly still in its infancy. Most groups which have performed the operation have not yet overcome the considerable technical difficulties involved. For the foreseeable future, the number of patients submitted to this procedure will remain small, largely as a result of the strict selection requirements for potential donors. In recent years, however, an improved understanding of the blood supply of the trachea and bronchi has resulted in a better prospect of satisfactory healing at the site of the airway anastomosis. The introduction of cyclosporin A has allowed control of the acute rejection process without the need for corticosteroid therapy during the first 2–3 weeks. These recent advances, largely the work of the Stanford group, will almost certainly lead to an improved outlook for selected patients with pulmonary vascular disease, various advanced pulmonary diseases, and complex developmental abnormalities of the heart and lungs.

Transplantation of the heart and both lungs

Transplantation of the heart and both lungs is being considered as a clinical possibility in several surgical centres today. This paper reviews the experimental development of surgical techniques in this field. In the 1940s Demikhov in the U.S.S.R. succeeded in developing a technique by which he could carry out cardiopulmonary transplantation without the use of any artificial means of recipient support during the procedure. He obtained survivors for up to six days; late deaths occurred mainly from pulmonary complications. The techniques and results of subsequent workers using hypothermia or pump-oxygenator support are reviewed. Recent work has focused on the problem of the return of spontaneous respiration following denervation of the lungs which, of necessity, occurs during this procedure.
