A 30-year-old woman with congenital factor V deficiency (baseline activity 18%) underwent mechanical aortic valve replacement and mitral valve repair due to infective endocarditis.
Cervical aortic arch with severe left ventricular dysfunction in a neonate: successful repair using whole-body perfusion.
A neonate presented with a right cervical aortic arch, coarctation, and significantly reduced left ventricular function. Surgical intervention involved arch repair with aortic uncrossing, utilizing whole-body perfusion…
Left-sided 3D totally endoscopic mitral valve repair guided by left atrial appendage orientation in situs inversus totalis with mirror-image dextrocardia: a case report.
A 39-year-old woman with situs inversus totalis and mirror-image dextrocardia presented with progressive exertional dyspnea due to severe mitral regurgitation from posterior leaflet prolapse.
Clinical Outcomes of Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion During Cardiac Surgery in Patients Without Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
This systematic review and meta-analysis combined randomized and observational studies comparing surgical left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) with no occlusion during cardiac surgery in patients with sinus rhythm and…
Ultrasound-guided vs conventional venous puncture for atrial fibrillation ablation: the ULYSSES trial.
The ULYSSES trial, a multicenter randomized controlled trial, evaluated the efficacy of ultrasound-guided femoral venous puncture versus conventional palpation-guided puncture in patients undergoing atrial fibrillation…
Combined veno-venous ECMO and direct aortic impella 5.5 support enabling emergency mitral valve replacement in acute severe mitral regurgitation with fulminant pulmonary edema.
A 61-year-old man presented with acute severe mitral regurgitation and extreme respiratory failure, requiring emergency mitral valve replacement.
Biliary anastomosis using T-tube versus no T-tube for liver transplantation in adults.
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the impact of T-tube use during biliary anastomosis in liver transplantation among 844 adults.
Concomitant orthotopic heart transplantation and repair of left partial anomalous pulmonary venous return.
A 64-year-old male with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy and a ventricular septal defect presented in cardiogenic shock and required a microaxial pump.
Double-switch procedure - Mustard atrial switch, arterial switch and ventricular septal defect closure.
The double-switch operation, which combines atrial and arterial switch procedures, provides the best anatomical repair for congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries [1].
A balloon-like cardiac myxoma mimicking a blood-filled cyst.
A 54-year-old woman presented with exertional dyspnea, chest tightness, and intermittent dizziness. Initial evaluations were unremarkable.
Combined conventional-to-sutureless repair of the supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage.
A neonate with supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage presented with mild symptoms. Echocardiography revealed a well-developed pulmonary venous confluence and obstruction at the interatrial level.
Emergency surgical management of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection in a primigravida at 29 weeks gestation: A case report.
A 34-year-old primigravida at 29 weeks gestation presented with severe chest and back pain, diagnosed with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection.
Impact of Left Internal Mammary Artery-to-Left Anterior Descending Artery Anastomotic Location on Graft Patency: A Secondary Analysis of the PATENCY Trial Data Set.
This secondary analysis of the PATENCY trial data set examined whether the location of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA)-to-left anterior descending artery (LAD) anastomosis was associated with graft patency in…
Pooled Analysis of Valve-in-Valve and Valve-in-Ring Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement Using the SAPIEN Valve.
This systematic review and random-effects meta-analysis compared SAPIEN valve-in-valve (ViV) with valve-in-ring (ViR) transcatheter mitral valve replacement in patients with failed mitral bioprostheses or prior surgical…
Comparison of a Novel Occluder Versus Traditional Occluder in Atrial Septal Defect: A Randomized Trial.
This multicenter, randomized, parallel-controlled noninferiority trial compared the ReAces occluder with a traditional Amplatzer-like device in patients undergoing transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects.
Decade in hiding: chronic giant pseudoaneurysm after a coronary artery bypass grafting mimicking a double-chambered left ventricle.
A woman in her early 60s, with a history of coronary artery bypass grafting a decade prior, was found to have a cardiac opacity.
Autologous pulmonary artery patch repair: a promising technique for type B aortic arch interruption.
A neonate with type B aortic arch interruption underwent reconstruction using an autologous pulmonary artery patch. This technique aimed to utilize the patient's own tissue to promote growth and reduce the need for…
Continuous Ultrasound-guided Erector Spinae Plane Block Versus Thoracic Paravertebral Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Thoracotomy.
This randomized controlled trial compared continuous ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) with thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) for postoperative analgesia in 40 patients undergoing thoracotomy.
