Heart transplantation from donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors has the potential to substantially increase overall heart transplant activity. The aim of this report is review first 8 y our clinical program at St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney, describe how evolved and impact that changes retrieval protocols have had on posttransplant outcomes. Since 2014, we performed 74 DCD transplants utilizing a direct procurement protocol followed by normothermic machine perfusion. Changes resulted...

Cyst of the canal Nuck is a rare abnormality female inguinal that can present similarly to hernia. If incompletely obliterated, patent may predispose an hernia or hydrocele due direct communication with abdominal cavity. Such defects are normally detected and repaired in early childhood but also later adult life. We report case 44-year-old woman who presents fluctuant, mobile irreducible left-sided groin mass. Ultrasound identified cystic structure Nuck. The patient underwent successful open...

It is uncertain if the evidence on improved long-term survival of total arterial coronary artery bypass grafting applies to female patients. This study aims compare outcomes using revascularization (TAR) versus at least 1 saphenous vein graft separately for men and women.

Background: Over the past two decades surgical approaches for mitral valve (MV) disease have evolved with advent of minimally invasive techniques. Robotic repair (RMVr) safety and efficacy has been well documented, however, mid- to long-term data are limited. The aim this review was provide a comprehensive analysis available RMVr. Methods: Electronic searches five databases were performed identify all relevant studies reporting minimum five-year on Pre-defined primary outcomes interest...

Despite the well-documented safety and feasibility of robotic coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), widespread adoption this approach remains limited by its steep learning curve, high procedural costs paucity data on longer-term efficacy. This current meta-analysis aims to provide a systematic overview outcomes robot-assisted CABG, with focus long term graft patency freedom from major adverse cardiac cerebrovascular events (MACCE).

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has significantly reduced the morbidity and mortality of patients suffering from ischemic heart disease over its six decades practice. In recent years, minimally invasive techniques have been increasingly described utilized, with promise providing same standard care without need for traditional full sternotomy, in select cases cardiopulmonary bypass, thus improved recovery metrics. The present systematic review meta-analysis sought to determine outcomes...

Preoperative reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a prognostic factor for postoperative mortality following cardiovascular surgery. We investigated the relationship between LVEF and outcome of total arch replacement (TAR) in patients with subacute/chronic type A aortic dissection (TAAD).A 136 TAAD who received TAR at Beijing Anzhen hospital from January 2015 to 2018 were included analysis. Univariable multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses performed assess...
