ObjectiveTo investigate the misdiagnostic reason and treatment of the syndrom of splenic flexure of colon(SSFC). MethodsThe clonical data of 21 patients with SSFC admitted from May 1993 to May 2001 were retrospectively analysed. ResultsThese patients aged from 51 to 88 years old with a median age of 67.8years.Clinical manifestalion was repetitive stomach pain, abdominal distension, constipation, etc. Double contrast radiology of colon demonstrated that too high fixation site of colon of splenic flexure, volvulus of colon of splenic flexure, and displacement of colon usually occurred together with transverse or sigmoid colon redundant.All of them were cured by cololysis of colon of splenic flexure, redundant partial colectomy and managing other companying diseases.Postoperative pathological diagnoses were chronic colitis.Followed up was done for 6 months to 6 years, all of them released from primary symptoms. ConclusionsThe main misdiagnostic reason of SSFC is less understanding of SSFC and did not take double contrast radiology of colon. By way of cololysis of splenic flexure, redundant colon resection and managment other companying abdominal diseases, most patients with SSFC may expect satisfactory treatment effects.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the characters and surgical treatment methods of anomalous drainage of left superior vena cava to left atrium.
METHODS:
Clinical data of 8 cases were analyzed retrospectively.The patients aged from 6 months to 168 months with weight between 6 and 29 kg.
RESULTS:
The associated cardic lesions existed in all patients: 4 had partial atrioventricular septal defect (PAVSD),including 1 coronary sinus orifice atresia (CSOA), 1 ventricle septal defect (VSD), 1 ventricle septal defect associated with right ventricular outlet tract stenosis (VSD/RVOTS), and 1 atrial septal defect (ASD) and complete atrioventricular septal defect (CAVSD), respectively.No patient died. Preoperation diagnosis was in 1 case, intraoperation diagnosis in 5 cases,and postoperation diagnosis in 2 cases due to reoperation for hypoxemia.Three patients were repaired by intratrium tunnel, and the other 5 were managed by extracardic shunt.
CONCLUSION
This lesion is easily missed in preoperation diagnosis,which can be avoided by awareness and careful inspection.The methods for management of anomalous drainage of left superior vena cava to left atrium depend on time of diagnosis and experience of surgeons.

OBJECTIVE:
To introduce peratrial device closure of secundum atrial septal defects (ASD) under the guidance of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in children, and to summarize the clinical experiences.
METHODS:
A total of 115 children with secundum ASD (the occlusion group) underwent peratrial device closure of atrial septal defects through a small sternotomy under TEE guidance without cardiopulmonary bypass. Children were followed up closely for 1-13 months. Another 59 children (the bypass group) had closed atrial septal defects under cardiopulmonary bypass during the same period. The differences in the operation duration, convalescence and complication between the 2 groups were compared.
RESULTS:
Except 1 patient was operated under the CPB, the rest 114 patients in the occlusion group were successfully closed by the occluders. The duration of the operation, mechanical ventilation, intensive care and hospitalization, and the rate of blood-transfusion in the occlusion group were significantly lower than those in the bypass group (P<0.01), with no difference in complications in the 2 groups (P>0.05).
CONCLUSION
Minimally invasive peratrial device closure of ASD without CPB is a relatively simple, safe and effective operation under the guidance of TEE for children. The short and mid-term clinical outcomes are promising. Long-term follow-up is indispensable.
