Regardless of its rare occurrence, Thymoma remains the most frequently encountered primary tumor of the anterior mediastinum comprising about 50% of all masses in the region. Surgical resection, via thymectomy...

CONCLUSIONS: As shown in the mid- and long-term follow-up studies, BalMonocTM svBPP has good performance in RVOT reconstruction. It can effectively eliminate or reduce pulmonary valve regurgitation and protect right heart function. Both réparation à l'Etage ventriculaire (REV) and the modified Barbero-Marcial procedure can bring growth potential and reduce reoperation rate.

There is a paucity of research investigating revision surgery for patients with previous inferior vena cava (IVC) reconstruction using bovine pericardium (BP). To the best of our knowledge, no reports of redo procedures have been published in the medical literature. We describe two cases of redo surgery in patients with previous IVC reconstructions using BP following disease recurrence. The first case underwent resection of the BP graft with a second IVC reconstruction using BP, the second case...

The adoption of minimally invasive techniques to perform mitral valve repair surgery is increasing. This is enhanced by the compelling evidence of satisfactory short-term results and lower major morbidity. We ...

Approximately one third of patients with Acute Type A Aortic Dissection (ATAAD) present with pre-operative malperfusion syndromes (MPS). Of these, mesenteric malperfusion represents the greatest risk to patien...

In the present case, we applied postmortem computed tomography angiography (PMCTA) in a medical dispute involving sudden death after cardiovascular surgery.

Aortobronchial fistula after TEVAR remains a vexing clinical problem associated with high mortality. Although a combination of endovascular and open surgical strategies have been reported in managing this path...

KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: Extensive resection of the infected calcified annulus and the reconstruction with a pericardial patch for the debrided annulus is an effective surgical option for the treatment of infectious endocarditis in patients with mitral annular calcification.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the surgical treatment of esophago-tracheobronchial fistulas (ETBFs) that occurred after esophagectomy with gastric conduit reconstruction in a tertiary referral center for esophageal surgery. All patients who underwent surgical repair for an ETBF after esophagectomy with gastric conduit reconstruction were included in a tertiary referral center. The primary outcome was successful recovery after surgical treatment for ETBF, defined as a patent airway at 90...
