Article A Different Symptom Due To Mitral Valve Stenosis: Back Pain(2013) Gur, A.K.; Polat, V.The most significant parameter that comes forth among symptoms affiliated with mitral stenosis is a chronic increase in the left atrium pressure. The very first symptom is effort dyspnea. Other symptoms may include fatigue, chronic coughing due to enlargement of the left atrium, hemoptysis, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, tiredness, symptoms related with right cardiac failure and pulmoner edema. In our case, we present a very different symptom which accompanies these symptoms: back pain. Severe mitral stenosis was determined with echocardiography in patient. We assume that, back pain may have disappeared after mitral replacement and which makes us think that back pain had originated from the calcified thrombosis which completely covered the left atrium base and the atrium wall.Article Our Anesthesia Experiences in Pediatric Congenital Heart Surgery: Preliminary Results(Turkish Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Society, 2015) Yüzkat, N.; Çeʇin, M.B.; Polat, V.; Soyoral, L.; Göktaş, U.; Kunt, A.S.Introduction: To investigate pediatric cases undergoing open heart surgery due to congenital heart disease. Material and Method: Pediatric cases undergoing congenital open heart surgery between November '2013 and March 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Result: The study population consisted of 17 male and 23 female children and 52.5% of them were newborns. Surgery was performed in 50% of all cases with cardiopulmonary bypass. In 75% of the cases operated with CBP blood cardioplegia while in 25% of them histidinetryptophan-ketoglutarate solution were used. Discussion and Conclusion: Anesthetic problems encountered in a center with newly practised pediatric cardiac surgery were related to lack of experienced technicians, medical supplies, and catheterization procedure problems.
