Thoracic muscle rupture

Prior reports of mitral valve surgery (MVS) for ischemic papillary muscle rupture (PMR) have been limited in patient numbers. This study evaluated national outcomes of MVS for PMR using The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) National Database.

Thoracic strain or sprain refers to the acute or subacute onset of pain in the region of the thoracic spine due to soft tissue injury, including muscles, ligaments, tendons, and fascia, of an otherwise normal back ( Fig. 44.1 ). Sprain relates to injury in ligament fibers without total rupture, whereas strain is an overstretching or

Spine Muscle Injuries and Conditions. Thoracic spine muscle injuries can compromise posture, breathing, spinal stability, and shoulder stability. There are many different types of injuries. The most common include: Thoracic Strain. A thoracic strain is an injury to the muscle and/or tendon.

Muscle Injury. Too often, simple overuse or exhaustion of the back thoracic spine ruptures and causes pressure on your spinal nerves. Lifting

In this issue of The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, Kilic and colleagues1 used The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Database to provide new insights regarding the surgical management of ischemic mitral valve papillary muscle rupture (PMR). The study confirms that an overwhelming majority of patients who undergo surgery for PMR are decompensated at baseline and have high morbidity

In two cases the reporter explicitly stated that the rupture was not a rupture of the tendon. In addition to muscle rupture, tendon rupture was also reported in two cases as a separate event. For patient 6 both tendon and muscle rupture were observed during surgery and reported by the patient's treating specialist doctor.

Injuries to the Thoracic Spine ; Fractured vertebrae; Strain or sprain; Fracture-dislocation ; Herniated or ruptured disc; Spinal stenosis

A thoracic spine injury can rupture ligaments, tear the spinal cord, damage intervertebral discs, and dislocate vertebral bones.

Thoracic aortic aneurysm: Thoracic aortic aneurysms develop in the chest and upper torso. As with those that occur in the abdomen, aortic aneurysms in the chest can cause life-threatening internal bleeding if they rupture. Thoracic aortic aneurysms are somewhat less common than abdominal aortic aneurysms.
