Lipome compressif du canal digital: un rare cas Clinique

Nous rapportons le dossier d'une patiente de 54 ans présentant une localisation rare d'une tumeur compressive du canal digital de l'auriculaire de sa main droite. L'évaluation clinique et paraclinique suivie d'une biopsie-exérèse ont permis de conclure à un lipome. Nous présentons ce cas en raison de sa localisation rare et de son retentissement

Complication rare de la coloscopie chez un patient sous anticoagulant: hemopéritoine par rupture d’un hématome sous capsulaire de la rate, cas clinique

La coloscopie à visée diagnostique et/ou thérapeutique est un examen invasif fréquemment pratiquée de nos jours. La perforation colique et l'hémorragie digestive en sont les principales complications. La survenue d'un  hémopéritoine par rupture d'un hématome sous-capsulaire splénique est une complication extrêmement rare et potentiellement mortelle de la coloscopie. Un traumatisme splénique minime passé inaperçu et la prised'anticoagulant en sont des facteurs favorisants. Nous présentons le cas d'une rupture d'un hématome sous-capsulaire de la rate après une coloscopie, survenue chez un patient de 70 ans porteur d'une valve mitrale mécanique sous acénocoumarol à dose hypocaogulante. La nécessité d'obtention d'une anti coagulation rapidement efficace et l'instabilité hémodynamique avaient justifiée la réalisation d'une splénectomie. L'évolution était favorable. A travers cette observation clinique nous discutons les mécanismes et les modalités de prise en charge devant cette complication

Contemporary Presentation and Management of Valvular Heart Disease The EURObservational Research Programme Valvular Heart Disease II Survey

International audienceBackground: Valvular heart disease (VHD) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity and has been subject to important changes in management. The VHD II survey was designed by the EURObservational Research Programme of the European Society of Cardiology to analyze actual management of VHD and to compare practice with guidelines. Methods: Patients with severe native VHD or previous valvular intervention were enrolled prospectively across 28 countries over a 3-month period in 2017. Indications for intervention were considered concordant if the intervention was performed or scheduled in symptomatic patients, corresponding to Class I recommendations specified in the 2012 European Society of Cardiology and in the 2014 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology VHD guidelines. Results: A total of 7247 patients (4483 hospitalized, 2764 outpatients) were included in 222 centers. Median age was 71 years (interquartile range, 62-80 years); 1917 patients (26.5%) were >= 80 years; and 3416 were female (47.1%). Severe native VHD was present in 5219 patients (72.0%): aortic stenosis in 2152 (41.2% of native VHD), aortic regurgitation in 279 (5.3%), mitral stenosis in 234 (4.5%), mitral regurgitation in 1114 (21.3%; primary in 746 and secondary in 368), multiple left-sided VHD in 1297 (24.9%), and right-sided VHD in 143 (2.7%). Two thousand twenty-eight patients (28.0%) had undergone previous valvular intervention. Intervention was performed in 37.0% and scheduled in 26.8% of patients with native VHD. The decision for intervention was concordant with Class I recommendations in symptomatic patients with severe single left-sided native VHD in 79.4% (95% CI, 77.1-81.6) for aortic stenosis, 77.6% (95% CI, 69.9-84.0) for aortic regurgitation, 68.5% (95% CI, 60.8-75.4) for mitral stenosis, and 71.0% (95% CI, 66.4-75.3) for primary mitral regurgitation. Valvular interventions were performed in 2150 patients during the survey; of them, 47.8% of patients with single left-sided native VHD were in New York Heart Association class III or IV. Transcatheter procedures were performed in 38.7% of patients with aortic stenosis and 16.7% of those with mitral regurgitation. Conclusions: Despite good concordance between Class I recommendations and practice in patients with aortic VHD, the suboptimal number in mitral VHD and late referral for valvular interventions suggest the need to improve further guideline implementation
