Hydatid cysts are rarely seen at the extrapulmonary sites. We report relapsed hydatid cysts with abdominal origin in a 25 years old woman. Over 1000 Hydatid cysts were removed through right posterolateral thoracotomy without any complications. Only very few cases are reported in the literature.

Tracheal Inujry Due To Blunt Chest Trauma: A Rare Surgical Emergency, Usman Ahmad, Muhammad A Javed, Saulat H. Fatimi, Fahad Shuja
Section of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Tracheal injury is a rare complication of blunt chest trauma. The patients usually present with signs of respiratory distress. Primary repair is the treatment of choice in case of large defects, while small tears can be managed conservatively. Immediate operation is recommended to improve deteriorating pulmonary function. The decrease in mortality and long-term morbidity depends on early diagnosis. We report a case of tracheal injury due to non-penetrating thoracic trauma which was successfully managed with surgery.

Predicting Postoperative Cardio-Pulmonary Complications By A Test Of Stair Climbing, Nawal Salahuddin, Saulat H. Fatimi, Shehzad Huda, Mohammad Islam, Azam Shafquat
Section of Cardiothoracic Surgery
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether a test of stair climbing ability could be used to predict the risk of developing postoperative cardiopulmonary complications in patients undergoing general anesthesia.
DESIGN: Cohort study.
PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: The Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi. The duration of the study was from December 2003 to December 2004. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study was carried out on consecutive, adult patients presenting for elective thoracic or abdominal surgery under general anesthesia. Pre-operatively, patients were asked to climb a standard staircase. Number of steps climbed was recorded. Those unable to climb stairs due to debilitating …

Bidirectional Cavopulmonary Shunt For Cyanotic Heart Disease: Surgical Experience From A Developing Country, G. Khan, S. S. Ali, Saulat H. Fatimi
Section of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Objective: The importance of bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis for palliation of complex cyanotic con-genital heart disease is widely recognized. This study was conducted to highlight our surgical experience withthis procedure in a developing country.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using medical records at the Aga Khan University Hospital,Karachi, Pakistan. Clinical findings at presentation, anatomical defects seen on transthoracic echocardiography,pre-operative McGoon index, cardiopulmonary bypass time, use of cardioplegia,post-procedure oxygen satura-tions and complications were evaluated.
Results: A total of 8 patients underwent bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis. There were 6 males (75%)and 2 females (25%). Ages and weights atoperation averaged 5.7 ± 3.7 …
