Following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), surgery for left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) and ventricular septal rupture (VSR) has a high in-hospital mortality rate, which has not improved signifi...

In a sedated patient, airway compression by a large mediastinal mass can cause acute fatal cardiopulmonary arrest. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been investigated to protect the airway and pro...

Perioperative myocardial injury (PMI) with different cut-off values has showed to be associated with different prognostic effect after cardiac surgery. Machine learning (ML) method has been widely used in peri...

Most metastatic lung tumors present as solid nodules on chest computed tomography (CT). In contrast, ground-glass opacity on chest computed tomography usually suggests low-grade malignant lesions such as adeno...

The prognostic value of cellular retinoic acid-binding protein 2 (CRABP2), in lung cancer patients remains to be uncertained. Therefore, our research attempted to assess the relationship between CRABP2 and sur...

First rib tumors are extremely rare. Its compression of neurovascularity can easily lead to severe complications such as thoracic outlet syndrome, so early surgical resection is crucial. However, there is no s...

To explore the independent predictors of pathological mediastinal lymph node (pN2) metastasis in clinical stage IA (cIA) pure-solid non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, and to find an appropriate metho...

Esophageal cancer represents a significant public health concern; however, reliable diagnostic and prognostic markers have not been established. This study aimed to investigate the clinical value of plasma D-d...

A left thoracotomy approach is anatomically appropriate for childhood aortic coarctation; however, the pediatric femoral arteriovenous diameters are too small for cardiopulmonary bypass cannulation. We aimed t...
