Chest wall tuberculosis is a common extra-pulmonary tuberculosis, which often occurs in lung or pleura tuberculosis, or coexists with tuberculosis in other parts. The final manifestation of the disease is cold abscess on the chest wall, chronic sinuses with repeated exudation after the abscess is broken. At present, There were a series of problems in the diagnosis, treatment, and extremely prognosis of tuberculosis of the chest wall. Therefore, we reviewed the diagnosis of chest wall tuberculosis, including B-ultrasound, chest CT and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), tuberculous infectin of T cells spot test (T-SPOT TB), pathological examination. The related treatments including medical treatment, surgical treatment and other local treatment in order to better understand the chest wall tuberculosis.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a common theraputic option for aortic stenosis, but the evidence for precise anatomy for TAVR is accumulating. This paper presents the case of an 71-year-old female patient who had an extremely high risk of coronary obstruction due to both coronary ostia lying too low. The patient underwent TAVR with the help of coronary protection successfully. During the procedure, the patient was protected with wires only for both coronaries. After deployment, angiofluoroscopy suggested that chimney stenting should be applied for left coronary. The whole procedure was unenventful and both coronaries were seen.
