“…Pulmonary artery transection is an extremely rare and generally early complication after pulmonary artery banding, which has been associated with late timing of surgery, endocarditis, or adjustable-flow banding devices [2][3][4][5]. The present case suggests delayed migration may also occur with gradual pseudoaneurysm formation.…”

“…(Ann Thorac Surg 2016;101:357-9) Ó 2016 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons A ortic translocation was first proposed by Bex for transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with (S,D,D) segmental anatomy and was applied by Nikaidoh to (S,D,D) TGA with ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis (TGA-VSD-PS). More recently, aortic translocation has been reported for more complex segmental anatomy in patients with (S,L,L) [1], (I,D,D) [2], and (I,L,L) [3] congenitally corrected transposition (ccTGA). (S,D,L)TGA is a rare form of congenitally uncorrected transposition [4].…”

The treatment of Candida infective endocarditis generally involves infected valve removal accompanied by antifungal therapy with amphotericin B or a lipid-based derivative, with or without flucytosine. While often used as chronic suppressive therapy in these patients, the precise role for fluconazole has not been established. We conducted a meta-analysis of 64 literature cases of Candida endocarditis whose management did not include valve replacement but who received fluconazole, alone or concurrently or in sequence with 1 or more other antifungal drugs.Forty-nine (77%) patients were cured (n = 44) or improved (n = 5), 4 relapsed (6%), and 11 failed (10 of whom died) (17%). Among 19 patients for whom fluconazole was administered as the sole antifungal therapy, 11 (58%) were cured or improved. In contrast, among 45 patients who received 1 or more other antifungal agents in addition to fluconazole, 38 (84%) were cured or improved (p = 0.02). Eighteen of 21 (86%) patients with native valve infection were cured or improved compared with 13 of 19 (68%) patients with prosthetic valve endocarditis (p = 0.13). The mean duration of successful fluconazole regimens was 134 days. Twenty of 21 (95%) patients who received fluconazole as chronic suppressive therapy for ≥6 months were cured. Prognosis was independent of Candida species or patient age. Among 23 historical controls managed with fluconazole-containing antifungal therapy plus valvular surgery, survival was 91%.In conclusion, fluconazole-containing, combination antifungal therapy, with or without concomitant valve replacement, and followed by prolonged, perhaps indefinite fluconazole suppression, is effective in patients with Candida endocarditis.
