Tricuspid Chordae Tendineae Rupture Detected After Repair of a Delayed Traumatic Left Ventricular Aneurysm: A Case Report.
After a fall from a height, a patient presented 54 days later with rupture of a posterior left ventricular aneurysm. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation provided circulatory support before surgical aneurysm…
Streptococcus constellatus-Associated Lemierre Syndrome Presenting With Cavitating Septic Pulmonary Emboli Managed by Video-Assisted Thoracoscopy.

A patient undergoing robotic left upper lobectomy for a Pancoast tumour developed an intraoperative pulmonary artery bleed.
Spiked Helmet Sign in the Early Post-Heart Transplantation Period: A Dramatic STEMI Mimic in a Structurally Normal Donor Heart.
A 36-year-old woman with severe dilated cardiomyopathy underwent heart transplantation and subsequently developed subarachnoid hemorrhage and septic shock.
Robotic resection of cardiac papillary fibroelastoma guided by three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography: a case report.
A patient was diagnosed with a papillary fibroelastoma involving the mitral valve. Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D TEE) was used to characterize the suspected lesion and assess its anatomy…
Large Carinal Chondrosarcoma: Resection of the Main Carina, Distal Trachea, and Orifices of the Mainstem Bronchi and Construction of a New Carina.
A 23-year-old man presented with dyspnea, fatigue, and cough. CT showed a lobulated mass anterior to the distal trachea and main carina; bronchoscopy demonstrated carinal widening, significant stenosis of both mainstem…
En bloc excision of a large hydatid cyst originating from the posterior wall of the left ventricle.
A male patient was found incidentally to have a hydatid cyst arising from the posterior wall of the left ventricle. The cyst was completely removed en bloc through a left ventriculotomy.
Optimization of Anticoagulation Strategy During Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Neonates with Congenital Heart Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Neonatal hemostatic immaturity complicates anticoagulation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Current practice largely follows the strategy of 400 U/kg from adult protocols, as neonatal-specific guidelines and…
Robotic selective thoracic sympathectomy for hyperhidrosis: refined technique and anatomical variation.
Primary hyperhidrosis substantially impairs quality of life. Conventional sympathectomy risks compensatory hyperhidrosis through trunk disruption, whilst selective sympathectomy preserves the trunk while dividing…
Endoscopic secondary chordae transfer and edge-to-edge repair for the treatment of asymmetric anterior leaflet prolapse.
A 59-year-old patient with Barlow’s disease presented with severe mitral regurgitation from asymmetric anterior leaflet prolapse.
Stroke thrombectomy of a mural thrombus in a severe dolichoectatic basilar artery with double parallel large stent retrievers and Sofia 88.
An older adult presented with severe acute ischemic stroke from a mural thrombus on the posterior wall of the mid-basilar artery.
Axillary microaxial flow pump support for stepwise source control and bridge to durable left ventricular assist device therapy in cardiac device-related infective endocarditis.
A 53-year-old man with long-standing dilated cardiomyopathy presented with cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator infection, methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, respiratory failure, acute…
Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation as a Bridge to Cardiac Transplantation in Refractory Cardiac Arrest Due to Fulminant Myocarditis: A Case Report.
A previously healthy 36-year-old woman presented with fulminant myocarditis and cardiogenic shock, then sustained an in-hospital cardiac arrest that did not respond to conventional CPR.
Same-day diagnosis and robotic resection of rare primary pulmonary melanoma: a robotic bronchoscopy-guided approach.
A man in his 70s presented with a lingular pulmonary nodule suspicious for non-small cell lung cancer. He underwent robotic navigation bronchoscopy for biopsy, which was followed by robotic-assisted thoracic surgery.

Cardiac intimal sarcoma presenting with pseudo-pulmonary embolism: surgical debulking, RVOT reconstruction and pulmonary valve replacement.
A 27-year-old woman presented with dyspnoea and signs of right-heart failure following delivery. Initial imaging suggested pulmonary embolism, prompting emergency surgery due to haemodynamic instability.
Transverse infundibulotomy for resection of a right ventricular outflow tract myxoma.
A 25-year-old asymptomatic 64 kg female with an incidental heart murmur was found, on echocardiography, to have a 2 cm echogenic mass beneath the pulmonary valve, with a peak gradient of 11 mmHg and mild pulmonic…
Combined mastectomy and beating heart coronary artery bypass grafting: a single-session surgical approach.
A woman in her 70s with papillary ductal carcinoma in situ underwent a combined surgical approach due to severe coronary artery disease.
Segmental sternal resection for metastatic ovarian cancer: surgical technique and clinical outcome.
Isolated sternal recurrence from ovarian cancer is exceptionally rare, and its optimal surgical management remains poorly defined.
The "Spiked Helmet Sign" on Electrocardiogram Following Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation: A Case Report.
A 68-year-old male with end-stage ischemic cardiomyopathy underwent left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. Shortly after the procedure, his ECG displayed the 'Spiked Helmet Sign' alongside QTc prolongation.
Factor V Deficiency and Mechanical Valve Replacement: Challenges in Perioperative Hemostasis and Anticoagulation.
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.
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.
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.
