A 28-year-old man with untreated familial hypercholesterolaemia and diabetes presented with a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
Unilateral absence of the thyrocervical trunk with multiple subclavian arterial variations and a suprascapular artery traversing the brachial plexus: a cadaveric case report.
A 71-year-old male cadaver exhibited multiple unilateral variations of the right subclavian artery. Notable findings included the absence of the thyrocervical trunk, with the inferior thyroid artery arising from the…
Transcatheter vs Surgical Replacement of Degenerated Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve: A Meta-Analysis of Propensity-Score-Matched Studies.
This meta-analysis compared transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation (ViV-TAVR) to redo surgical aortic valve replacement (redo-SAVR) in 16,223 patients.
Fatal invasive fungal infection morphologically consistent with aspergillosis accompanied by vascular graft infection and marked eosinophilia after thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair.
A man in his 60s presented two months after thoracic endovascular repair of an aortic arch aneurysm with marked eosinophilia and left renal infarction.
Robotic left lower lobectomy for Stage IB adenocarcinoma with critical exercise capacity.
This video tutorial demonstrates a robotic-assisted left lower lobectomy in a 71-year-old female with critical exercise capacity. Preoperative evaluation revealed a 32 mm cavitated tumour in the left lower lobe.
