Non-iatrogenic trauma of the iliac artery is rarely reported but is always life-threatening. In this report, we describe the case of a child with complete transection and partial disappearance of the iliac art...

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has increased in utilization since its approval for management of aortic stenosis patients across all risk strata. We report a rare case of aortic valve leaflet av...

CONCLUSIONS: This case highlights that the use of bovine pericardium and porcine heparin to close septal defects in patients with milder forms of alpha-gal allergy can be considered if other options are not available. Further studies are warranted to investigate the long-term outcomes of such potential alpha-gal containing prostheses and heparin exposure and establish the optimal decision making algorithm and prophylactic regimen.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a malignant tumor originating from the bronchial mucosa or glands of the lung, with the fastest increasing morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the prognosis of lung cancer remains...

Ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) accounts for more than 60% of congestive heart failure cases and is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Myocardial revascularization in patients with left ventricu...

It has been reported that non-intubated anesthesia can be used successfully in adult trachea reconstruction. Herein, our center reported a case of a child undergoing non-intubated trachea reconstruction for be...

Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a vascular disorder primarily caused by atherosclerosis, resulting in intestinal ischemia. While endovascular treatment has become the primary modality for most patients, open mesenteric revascularization remains crucial for complex cases. We present a case of CMI in a patient with critical ischemia, leading to small bowel necrosis, where the endovascular recanalization failed and a surgical approach was needed. A supraceliac antegrade aortomesenteric bypass...

High-grade atrioventricular block is the primary reason for epicardial permanent pacemaker implantation during the perioperative period in patients with congenital heart disease. Due to the smaller diameter of...
