Abstract

Background: Obstructive jaundice can be caused by malignant or benign origin. The treatment for these situations includes drainage by biliary stenting. The aim of this study was to evaluate the success rate of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in evaluating malignant obstructive jaundice and the success rate of plastic stent placement. Method: We conducted a retrospective study based on data of ERCP in Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital from October 2004 until July 2007. Results: We evaluated 100 patients who had undergone ERCP examination, 92 (92%) of them had clinical diagnosis of obstructive jaundice (direct bilirubin indirect bilirubin). Those with obstructive jaundice were found to have no malignancy in 47 (51.1%) patients, with malignancy in 28 (30.4%) patients, and 17 (18.5%) of them would have further diagnostic evaluation. We had conducted a descriptive study in 36 patients who had tried to have plastic stent placement. Nineteen (52.8%) patients succeed in plastic stent placement; whereas 17 (47.2%) patients had failed. Further evaluation showed that age and sex did not affect stent successfulness, and malignancy was showed to be a factor for stent failure (malignancy: 16 fail and 6 successes (27.3%) vs. non malignancy: 1 fail and 13 successes (92.85%). Conclusion: Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital has acceptable success rate for diagnostic ERCP in obstructive jaundice patients. However, it is relatively lower than other studies, which might be caused by late referral and different standard instruments that were used. Keywords: obstructive jaundice, malignancy, ERCP, stent placement

Abstract

Sejak elektrokardiografi (EKG) dibawa ke perhatian klinisi oleh Einthoven1 sampai dengan saat ini, EKG masih merupakan modalitas yang tidak dapat dipisahkan dalam penilaian sistem kardiovaskular. Namun, pemeriksaan yang sederhana dan tidak invasif ini, tidak selalu mudah untuk diintepretasikan. Hasil yang tergambar di kertas EKG tidak murni dipengaruhi jaringan otot jantung saja, namun dipengaruhi juga oleh jaringan tubuh lain yang terdapat di antara jantung dan lokasi dimana elektroda diletakkan. Dengan demikian, hal ini juga harus dipertimbangkan dalam menginterpretasikan hasil EKG.

Abstract

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the treatment of choice for patients with complex multivessel coronary artery disease but carries a risk of serious perioperative complications, including ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia (VT). Although VT following CABG is rare, it is potentially life-threatening and often results from multiple interrelated factors. This report presents a case of recurrent ventricular tachycardia after CABG and to highlight the underlying mechanisms, risk factors, and evidence-based management strategies aimed at preventing adverse outcomes.We report a 54-year-old woman with diabetes, hypertension, prior myocardial infarction, and severe left ventricular dysfunction who underwent urgent CABG for three-vessel disease. Postoperatively, she developed recurrent VT associated with fluctuating electrolytes and early vein graft occlusion. Management included urgent graft revascularization, aggressive metabolic correction, repeated defibrillation, and intravenous antiarrhythmic therapy, resulting in VT cessation. Ventricular tachycardia following CABG illustrates the interplay between a vulnerable arrhythmogenic substrate and modifiable perioperative factors. Comprehensive perioperative monitoring, early identification of high-risk conditions, and prompt correction of reversible triggers are essential to prevent serious outcomes and improve prognosis in this patient population.
