    Notes: Abstract. We present a 15-year-old male patient with Marfan syndrome who died suddenly of aortic dissection and rupture. The commonly used criteria for elective aortic root replacement are an aortic root dimension 〉50 mm or an aortic dimension more than twice the normal predicted value. He did not fulfill these criteria. His ascending aortic dimension 17 days prior to his death was 48 mm and the aortic dimension to the predicted value was 1.8, although he showed progressive dilatation of the aortic root. A ratio of the ascending aortic dimension of more than 1.5 times that predicted, as proposed by Pyeritz, and a considerable increase in aortic dilatation beyond previous observations may lead to timely surgical repair.

    Relationship between the degree of injury at operation and the change in antimyosin antibody titer in the postpericardiotomy syndrome (1994)

    Notes: Summary Successive measurements of cardiac myosin light chain I (MLC), creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CKMB), and the titer of antimyosin antibody (AMA) were performed prospectively in 19 patients following open heart surgery. Seven of these patients showed the postpericardiotomy syndrome (PPS). No differences in serum concentrations of MLC or CKMB were observed between the patients with and without PPS, and all patients in both groups had abnormal MLC values after surgery. However, only patients with PPS had significantly elevated AMA titers. The maximum AMA titer was significantly correlated with the severity of the effusion. These data suggest that PPS is unrelated to the severity of myocardial injury during operation. Furthermore, the AMA titer may be useful as one of the indicators for determining the patient's clinical condition.
