CONCLUSION: We are of the opinion that the PAC method is effective and safe for carotid artery closure in patients undergoing CEA.

Tracheal papillomatosis is a relatively rare condition with limited data on successful treatment modalities. To our knowledge, this is the first report to describe a papilloma arising from an accessory bronchu...

The Nuss bar is commonly used for minimally invasive correction of pectus excavatum and is usually removed within 2–3 years. Here, we report a case of 10-year bar placement after the Nuss procedure accompanied...

The hybrid approach has become the most effective treatment option for restoring sinus rhythm and reducing the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence. However, several issues remain to be clearly defined,...

Hydatid cysts can mimic many lung pathologies radiologically, as well as some malignant or benign lung tumors may show hydatid cyst-like radiological features. The aim of our study is to present our clinical e...

Congenital chylothorax (CC) is an uncommon congenital disease. The objective of this study was to analyze the clinical features, treatment, and outcome of infants with CC in a Chinese tertiary medical center.

CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that preventing initial immune activation with autologous MSC recellularization may be an effective approach to decrease the recipient immune response, preventing recipient immune recognition of xenogeneic tissue engineered heart valves, and potentially leading to reduction in SVD incidence.

The bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) are the best option for the treatment of valvular heart disease. Glutaraldehyde (Glut) is commonly used as the golden standard reagent for the crosslinking of BHVs. However, the obvious defects of Glut, including residual aldehyde toxicity, degradation and calcification, increase the probability of valve failure in vivo and motivated the exploration of alternatives. Thus, the aim of this study is to develop a non-glutaraldehyde hybrid cross-linking method...
