Medical - Medical: Cardiology / surgery | | French term or phrase: bourses artérielles | | In a report on surgery on a child with Fallot's tetralogy and other congenital heart defects: "L'aorte ascendante et la cross aortique sont normales. Bourses artérielles et veineuses." It sounds like pouchy bits in the arteries and veins, but that's not the correct medical lingo! Bursas? Arterio-venous malformations?? Would appreciate some expert advice. TIA. |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseDr Sue Levy: 7:27am Feb 15, 2006: There seems to be a bug in the system this morning. I can't add a note to my answer or change my peer comment. @ Bahram - bursae are only found IN ASSOCIATION WITH joints unless the human body has changed drastically since I studied anatomy :-) -

| | arteriovenous shunt | Explanation:
* Placing a tube (called a shunt) between a large artery branching off the aorta and the pulmonary artery.
* One end of the tube is sewn to the pulmonary artery and the other end is sewn to an artery branching off the aorta. This creates an additional pathway for blood to travel to the lungs.
* This new pathway allows some of the blood in the aorta to flow through the tube into the pulmonary artery where it travels to the lungs to pick up oxygen.
* The shunt is removed when your baby's defects are repaired during the corrective surgery.

Bursae are closed, round, flattened sacs that are lined by synovium and separate bare areas of bone from overlapping muscles (deep bursae) or skin and tendons (superficial bursae). They occur at areas of friction or possible impingement.

Asker: On further enquiry, it turns out Sue was on the right track: the "bourses" are purse-string sutures placed on the arteries and veins.
Asker: P.S. I enquired via the client.

| bourses artérielles part of a device
Explanation:
I think these "bourses" could be components of a circulatory assistance device ("artificial heart") but I don't know what they are in English.
http://www.md.ucl.ac.be/virtanes/BIBLECAR.PDF
CIRCULATION EXTRA-CORPORELLE : PROCEDURES HABITUELLES.
Définitions : Coeur Ouvert et Coeur Fermé.
On considère comme opération à "coeur ouvert" toute intervention impliquant l'ouverture d'au moins une cavité gauche : veine pulmonaire, oreillette gauche, ventricule gauche, aorte
.............................
1. La mise en place de la bourse aortique peut provoquer de l'hypertension qu'il faut essayer de prévenir. Il faut de toute façon veiller à ramener la TA syst < 120 mmHg avant la canulation aortique (flush cédocard - Isoflurane - Nicardipine ou Ebrantyl si nécessaire)
La mise en place de la bourse sur l'oreillette peut entraîner des troubles du rythme (ESSV, FA) qui peuvent céder à l'arrêt de la stimulation chirurgicale.

Could simply be cannulae

Asker: Sue, It might be "cannulae" but I doubt it, as after the bit quoted above comes "cannulation aortique, double cave". Still, hard to be certain...
