in these patients We present a case of migration of two iliacal veinstents into the right ventricle in a patient with May-Thurner syndrome.REGA F.R., NEVELSTEEN A., PEETERMANS W.E., HERREGODS M.C.,FLAMENG W., HERIJGERS P.: Simultaneous valve replacement andvenous patch repair of superior mesenteric artery aneurysm due toinfective endocarditis: a case report. Heart Surg. Forum, 2006; 9(5):E741-743.Background: Peripheral mycotic aneurysm development is a raresystemic complication of infective endocarditis.Case Report: We report on a case of a mycotic aneurysm of thesuperior mesenteric artery in a 66-year-old man with infectiveendocarditis of the mitral valve. After the mitral valve was replaced bya mechanical valve, a laparotomy was performed. The mycoticaneurysm was excised and the vessel was repaired by sewing anautologous venous patch at the neck of the aneurysm. Five yearsafter the operation, the patient is doing fine, with a normal morphologyand patency of the superior mesenteric artery.Conclusion: Our case demonstrates that simultaneous valve surgeryand repair of a superior mesenteric artery mycotic aneurysm bysewing a vein patch in the neck of the artery is a viable treatmentoption.VANDENBERGH A., FLAMENG W., HERIJGERS P.: Type II diabetic miceexhibit contractile dysfunction but maintain cardiac output byfavourable loading conditions. Eur. J. Heart Fail., 2006; 8(8): 777-783.Background: Cardiomyopathy in type II diabetes is incompletelyunderstood. The leptin receptor-deficient (db/db) mouse is a wellacceptedmodel of type II diabetes. To date, left ventricularcontractility has not been studied in animal models of type II diabeteswith in vivo load-independent parameters.Aim: To determine cardiac function in db/db mice in vivo.Methods: Cardiac function in 12- and 24-week-old db/db and wild-typemice was assessed using a microtip-pressure-conductance catheter.Results: Left ventricular contractile dysfunction, measured by loadindependentparameters (preload recruitable stroke work, end-systolicelastance, dP/dt-V(ed)), is present in diabetic mice from age 24 weeksonwards. Despite this contractile dysfunction, the conventionalparameters cardiac output, ejection fraction and dP/dt(max) weremaintained, which was due to an increased preload and decreased32
afterload. Ventriculo-arterial coupling was increased and mechanicalefficiency significantly reduced in db/db mice.Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that, despite impaired cardiaccontractility and mechanical efficiency, cardiac output is maintained indb/db mice by favourable loading conditions and that in vivo loadindependentmeasurements are necessary to fully characterizecardiac performance in animal models of pathophysiological states.VANDENBERGHE S., SEGERS P., STEENDIJK P., MEYNS B., ROBERTD.A.E., ANTAKI J.F., VERDONCK P.: Modeling ventricular functionduring cardiac assist: does time-varying elestance work? ASAIOJournal, 2006; 52(1): 4-8.The time-varying elastance theory of Suga et al. is widely used tosimulate left ventricular function in mathematical models and incontemporary in vitro models. We investigated the validity of thistheory in the presence of a left ventricular assist device. Leftventricular pressure and volume data are presented that demonstratethe heart-device interaction for a positive-displacement pump(Novacor) and a rotary blood pump (Medos). The Novacor wasimplanted in a calf and used in fixed-rate mode (85 BPM), whereasthe Medos was used at several flow levels (0-3l/min) in seven healthysheep. The Novacor data display high beat-to-beat variations in theamplitude of the elastance curve, and the normalized curves deviatestrongly from the typical bovine curve. The Medos data show how themaximum elastance depends on the pump flow level. We concludethat the original time-varying elastance theory insufficiently models thecomplex hemodynamic behavior of a left ventricle that is mechanicallyassisted, and that there is need for an updated ventricular model tosimulate the heart-device interaction.VANGHELUWE P., TJWA M., VAN DEN BERGH A., LOUCH W.E.,BEULLENS M., DODE L., CARMELIET P., KRANIAS E., HERIJGERS P.,SPIDIO K.R., RAEYMAEKERS L., WUYTACK F.: A SERCA2 pump with anincreased Ca2+ affinity can lead to severe cardiac hypertrophy, stressintolerance and reduced life span. J. Mol. Cell. Cardiol., 2006; 41(2): 308-317.Abnormal Ca(2+) cycling in the failing heart might be corrected byenhancing the activity of the cardiac Ca(2+) pump, thesarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase 2a (SERCA2a) isoform.This can be obtained by increasing the pump's affinity for Ca(2+) bysuppressing phospholamban (PLB) activity, the in vivo inhibitor of33
