Owing to the lack of understanding of the clinical significance of pericardial calcification during pericardiectomy, whether pericardial calcification should be considered when determining the optimal timing f...

This study aimed at exploring how using different kinds of sheaths will affect the very first ablation procedure of apprentices.

This study examined the efficacy of del Nido cardioplegia compared with traditional blood cardioplegia in adult cardiac surgery for isolated coronary artery bypass grafting by evaluating the early postoperativ...

An anomalous origin and inter-arterial course of the right coronary artery is a rare anomaly that can lead to sudden ischemic cardiac death if left untreated. We present a case of a patient with an anomalous r...

Extralobar pulmonary sequestration is located outside the lung parenchyma and is covered by a separated pleural sac, which comprises approximately 25% of all pulmonary sequestration.

Lead dislodgements, tricuspid valve failure, and wound infections are prominent issues addressed by leadless pacemakers (LPM). These devises have emerged as viable alternatives to conventional transvenous pace...

Xenografts, commonly from porcine or bovine sources, have decades-long documented use in reconstructive surgery, including the repair of Achilles tendons. Despite decellularization processes, the risk of antigenicity with xenografts still poses a threat for graft failure. Allograft tissues reduce the risk of immune response and provide greater likelihood of successful grafting. SteriGraft® Pericardium (BSP) (Bone Bank Allografts, San Antonio, Texas) is a lyophilized allograft obtained from the...

Pulmonary regurgitation (PR) remains a common sequela in patients following surgically corrected TOF, and may lead to progressive right ventricle dilatation and dysfunction. The conventional approach of redo-s...

The treatment for bilateral synchronous multiple primary lung cancers (MPLC) remains challenging. Simultaneous bilateral video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) may be an optimal treatment with curative intent,...
