The minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) system was developed to minimize the contact of blood with air and foreign surfaces during conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). It is also aimed ...

Accurately predicting post-discharge mortality risk in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) remains a complex and critic...

CONCLUSIONS: In patients undergoing primary carotid endarterectomy, the use of venous, bovine pericardial, or polyester patches seems equally safe and durable in terms of comparability in long-term outcomes.

Hemifacial spasm is a neuromuscular disorder caused by compression of the facial nerve at the nerve root entry zone, often due to ectatic or aberrant vasculature. Pathologic compression of the nerve-brainstem interface results in involuntary, paroxysmal contractions of ipsilateral facial muscles that may cause considerable impairments in quality of life. For those with severe symptoms, have positive imaging demonstrating vascular compression, or who fail other management modalities, 1 2 3 4...
