The efficacy of erector spinae plane block versus paravertebral block for thoracoscopic surgery remains controversial. We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the impact of erector spinae p...

There is a paucity of studies examining the treatment of patients with prior myocardial infarction in the absence of obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) and with a concomitant left ventricular aneurysm. Our...

CONCLUSIONS: The accelerated wear test demonstrates suitable mechanical strength of PVP cusps for heart valve. The swine model demonstrates that the PVP valve cusps are promising for valve replacement.

The timing of cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for intracranial hemorrhage is controversial.

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is an important but underappreciated disease in medical practice, and the severity can vary from moderate to severe. Right-sided infective endocarditis (RSIE) is more common in intravenous drug users (IVDUs), and the vast majority of these involve the tricuspid valve (TV). It is worth mentioning that right-sided valves are challenging to scan compared to left-sided valves. The incidence of severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) immediately post-repair is not tangible,...
