[Acute damage to the myocardium and left lung is a complication of high-frequency percutaneous thermoablation of solitary metastasis of renal cancer into the liver (a clinical observation)].

The paper describes a case of severe complication of radio-frequency percutaneous thermoablation of renal metastasis into the liver, which occurred in a young woman with the intact cardiovascular system and manifested itself in the development of alveolar edema of the lung and acute dilation of the stomach. Pulmonary edema resulted from left ventricular myocardial and pulmonary parenchymal lesions and acute mitral valvular insufficiency. The authors' considerations as to the possible cause and mechanisms of development of this life-threatening complication first described in the literature are also given.

[Problems and advances in anesthesiology and intensive care in oncologic surgery]. / Problemy i dostizheniia anesteziologii i reanimatologii v onkokhirurgii.

Numerous problems are to be solved by anesthesiology and reanimatology in modern oncosurgery: to protect weak exhausted patients from severe and extremely severe surgical injury, to carry out rational infusion/transfusion therapy and intensive care in massive blood loss, perioperative organ and polyorgan failure, and sepsis. Combined analgesia is used in highly traumatic oncological operations: inhalation narcosis with fluorine drugs with epidural analgesia and anesthesia. Good results were obtained in the treatment of very grave patients. Mortality from highly traumatic operations with blood loss higher than 50% of total circulating blood decreased to 10%. Modern methods of intensive care, such as intraoperative reinfusion of autoerythrocytes, extracorporeal detoxication, immunocorrection for preventing and treating sepsis, etc., are widely used with good effect.
