Background: Coronary artery disease is a major cause of death globally. Minimally invasive direct coronary bypass (MIDCAB), using small left anterior thoracotomy, aims to provide less alternative traditional procedures, potentially improving patient outcomes with reduced recovery times. Methods: This retrospective, non-randomized study analyzed 310 patients who underwent MIDCAB between July 1999 and April 2022. Data were collected on demographics, clinical characteristics, operative...
Background and objectives: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a devastating malignancy with poor prognosis. Reliable biomarkers for MPM diagnosis, monitoring, prognosis are needed. The aim of this study was to identify genes associated wound healing processes whose expression could serve as prognostic factor in patients. Materials Methods: We used data mining techniques transcriptomic analysis so assess the differential transcriptional wound-healing-associated MPM. Moreover, we...
Background and Objectives: Sutureless aortic valve prostheses have presented favorable hemodynamic performance while facilitating minimally invasive access approaches. As the population ages, number of patients at risk for reoperation constantly increases. The aim present study is to our single-center experience in sutureless replacement (SU-AVR) reoperations. Materials Methods: data 18 consecutive who underwent SU-AVR a between May 2020 January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Results:...
Introduction: Due to their favourable hemodynamic performance and the ability enable minimally invasive access procedures, sutureless aortic valve prostheses have found place in armamentarium of cardiothoracic surgeons. In this study, we sought review our institutional experience replacement (SU-AVR). Methods: We carried out a retrospective analysis 200 consecutive patients who underwent an SU-AVR with Perceval between December 2019 February 2023. Results: The mean age was 69.3 ± 8.1 years,...
Abstract Background Infective endocarditis (IE) poses a significant health risk, especially in patients with prosthetic heart valves. Despite advances treatment, mortality rates remain high. This study aims to investigate the antibacterial properties of copper titanium dioxide (4× Cu‐TiO 2 ) coating on cardiovascular implants against Staphylococcus aureus , common causative agent IE. Methods Titanium oxide carriers functionalized ions were employed as an for and vascular prostheses. The...
Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a well-recognized clinical entity and reflects complex relationship between metabolic substrates myocardial function. Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are antidiabetic agents that found to exert multiple cardioprotective effects. Large trials showed their beneficial effects on patients with heart failure, reducing the rates of rehospitalizations improving kidney The aim this review summarize latest evidence in literature regarding SGLT2 across...
Electrocution resulting from lightning strikes is a rare but impactful event, carrying notable mortality rate of 25%–30%.1 The extent and nature injuries stemming these vary based on factors like the type strike (e.g., direct, side flash, or ground), duration contact, additional heat generated by lightning, along with electromagnetic effects electric charge. It worth noting that unlike high-voltage electricity (characterized currents exceeding 1000 V), stands out due to its significantly...
Background: Recent development of mechanical-circulatory-support devices (MCS) have substantially contributed to increased survival amongst heart and lung failure patients. While results in terminal treatment continuously improved, for MCS remain poor, especially because hypoxemic respiratory is often associated with consecutive hemodynamic impairment based on right demanding further mechanical support.
Background: Micro-axial pumps are well-established temporary mechanical circulatory support devices (tMCS). Treatment strategies bridge-to-recovery or bridge-to-decision, as well high-risk elective cardiac surgeries. A new feature of the device is capability deriving left ventricular end-diastolic pressure from continuously measured LV-waveform. The objective was to evaluate precision this calculated LVEDP (cLVEDP) compared invasively pulmonary capillary wedge (PCWP) while using...
In the evolving landscape of cardiac surgery, this article explores potential minimally invasive mitral valve replacement procedures as a viable alternative to conventional surgical techniques. Leveraging advancements in automated suturing devices and video endoscopy, our work aims demonstrate that approaches can be applied across broad spectrum scenarios. Herein we highlight preoperative diagnostics operative techniques, with focus on infra-axillary anterolateral minithoracotomy access...
Cardiac myxomas are the most common benign tumors of heart, with clinical manifestations varying significantly based on tumor size. Symptoms can range from asymptomatic and mild non-specific presentations to severe obstructive cardiac systemic findings. This case report describes a 68-year-old female patient who presented acute decompensated heart failure. Diagnostic evaluation revealed left atrial myxoma causing significant mitral valve obstruction. The underwent emergency surgery for...
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare mesenchymal classified as an intermediate malignancy that rarely metastasizes. The most common site for IMTs the lung, though they can develop in various other anatomical locations. Pulmonary are more children and adolescents infrequently diagnosed adults. This case report describes 49-year-old woman with history of breast cancer previously treated subtotal mastectomy chemotherapy who developed IMT lung. emphasizes rarity disease associated...
Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology in healthcare, with its integration into cardiac surgery offering significant advancements precision, efficiency, and patient outcomes. However, comprehensive understanding of AI’s applications, benefits, challenges, future directions is needed to inform safe effective implementation. Methods: A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Literature searches were performed PubMed, Scopus,...
