Cable externalization at the proximal portion of the superior vena cava coil in Riata implantable cardioverter defibrillator leads
Many Riata (St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN, USA) implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) leads have reportedly developed cable externalization. The most likely cause of cable externalization is insulation abrasion, which often occurs at the can or between the right ventricular coil and superior vena cava (SVC) coil. We report a rare case of an adult male whose ICD lead cable was externalized at the proximal portion of the SVC coil. This lead became fixed to the wall at the subclavian vein and SVC and became bent between these adhesions. Furthermore, the motion of this lead was affected by pulsation of the aortic arch. The ICD lead might develop inside-out abrasion due to mechanical stress evoked by pulsation of the aortic arch at this site.. © 2016 Japanese College of Cardiology.Embargo Period 12 month

Eculizumab for Severe Thrombotic Microangiopathy Secondary to Surgical Invasive Stress and Bleeding
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is an extremely rare condition caused by an excessive activation of the complement pathway based on genetic or acquired dysfunctions in complement regulation, leading to thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). A complement-amplifying condition (CAC) can trigger aHUS occurrence along with complement abnormality. We herein report a case of severe TMA after laparoscopic myomectomy in a healthy woman. This case was eventually diagnosed as complement-mediated TMA secondary to surgical invasive stress as a CAC, with no definitive diagnosis of aHUS despite a genetic test. The patient fully recovered after several eculizumab administrations
