Segmental Snare Traction Technique for Helix-Fixed Leadless Pacemaker Implantation Across a Repaired Tricuspid Annulus.
Helix-fixed leadless pacemaker delivery can be challenging after tricuspid annuloplasty with a rigid ring. An 80-year-old woman with prior mitral valve repair, tricuspid annuloplasty (26-mm MC ring), and Maze III…
Outcomes of robotically-assisted aortic valve surgery: A systematic review.
This systematic review examined reported outcomes of robotically assisted aortic valve surgery. It included 26 papers describing 362 cases.
Landiolol for the prevention of postoperative atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery: a GRADE-assessed systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
This GRADE-assessed systematic review and meta-analysis examined randomized trials of intravenous landiolol to prevent postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Right intra-atrial haemodialysis catheter insertion via sternotomy with intrathoracic graft placement: A case report.
A patient with haemodialysis access exhaustion had several anomalies of central venous drainage and multiple failed arteriovenous accesses.
Mitral Valve Homograft Used in Partial Heart Autotransplant Approach for Recurrent Endocarditis.
A patient with multiple recurrences of endocarditis involving both the mitral and aortic valves underwent treatment using a mitral valve homograft.

A Rare Case of Aortic Atresia and Interrupted Aortic Arch Type B Survival, Anatomic Importance of a Vertebral Artery and the Circle of Willis, a Case Report and Review of the Literature.
A patient with a rare congenital combination of aortic atresia and type B interrupted aortic arch had cerebral and coronary perfusion dependent solely on the left vertebral artery, with no alternative circulatory…
The impact of postoperative acute kidney injury on survival after surgery for type A aortic dissection repair: Results from over 6000 patients.
This systematic review and meta-analysis examined long-term survival after surgical repair of type A aortic dissection according to postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) status.
Acute HeartMate3 Malfunction Requiring Exchange Due to Intrapump Obstruction: Inflow Cannula Obstruction Can Cause HM3 Failure.
A patient with a HeartMate III (HM3) left ventricular assist device developed acute pump failure 11 months after implantation. Evaluation identified biodebris obstructing both the inflow cannula and the pump interior.
Perioperative anaesthetic management of a massive solitary fibrous tumour of the pleura: A case report.
A 77-year-old woman with a massive solitary fibrous tumour of the pleura occupying much of the right hemithorax underwent thoracotomy.
Addressing Aortopathy Associated With Congenital Valve Anomalies: Technical Aspects of a Reoperative Bentall-Konno Procedure.
Children and adolescents with congenital aortic stenosis often need multiple reoperations due to early intervention and somatic growth.

Effect of Stellate Ganglion Block on Internal Mammary Artery Dynamics: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.
This randomized controlled clinical trial assessed whether preoperative left stellate ganglion block (LSGB) affects left internal mammary artery (LIMA) dynamics in 70 patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass…
Tricuspid Regurgitation and Impact of Surgical Valve Intervention in the Single Ventricle Reconstruction Trial.
This analysis of the Pediatric Heart Network’s Single Ventricle Reconstruction trial examined serial tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and transplant-free survival in children with single right ventricle anomalies followed…
Robotic Mitral Valve Repair and Simultaneous On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting to the Left Anterior Descending Artery.
Two patients with severe mitral regurgitation and proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) stenosis underwent robotic mitral valve repair combined with on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting to the LAD.
