Idiopathic popliteal artery pseudoaneurysms are exceedingly rare, posing significant diagnostic challenges due to their elusive etiology. This report presents the case of a 78-year-old female with no history of trauma or orthopedic procedures who was diagnosed with a large pulsatile mass in the right popliteal fossa. Arteriography confirmed a popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm. Despite extensive clinical evaluation, no causative factors were identified, suggesting an idiopathic diagnosis. The...

Chondrosarcoma primarily occurs in the pelvis and femur, with occasional cases in the ribs. Surgical resection remains the main treatment method for costal chondrosarcoma. However, complete resection often lea...

In treating aortic root diseases, the Bentall procedure offers reliable and stable results. However, it requires a prosthetic valved conduit, which presents inherent challenges due to the need for anticoagulation. The Ozaki procedure, which uses pericardium for aortic valve neocuspidization, is an alternative to prosthetic valves and does not need anticoagulation. We developed a surgical technique combining the Bentall and Ozaki procedures to treat patients with aortic root disease, which we...

Saphenous vein graft percutaneous coronary intervention (SVG PCI) following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is commonly used procedure for patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Emergin...

Diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma as a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism is usually very challenging, even after surgical resection.

This review article describes the roles of ultrasound in assessing thoracic and abdominal infectious diseases, mainly bacterial and parasitic ones that affect farm animals, including cattle, camels, sheep, and goats. Ultrasonography is a non-invasive imaging technique used to diagnose infectious diseases affecting the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and hepatobiliary systems. In cases of thoracic and abdominal infections, ultrasound typically reveals abnormalities in...

As the current guidelines on myocardial revascularization recommend, transit-time flow measurement (TTFM) is increasingly used for intraoperative graft flow analysis during coronary artery bypass grafting (CAB...
