Primary angiosarcoma of the heart is extremely rare with poor prognosis. A 39-year-old man presented to his physician for evaluation of fever and pericardial pain and was referred to our department for further management. The patient's condition stabilized after pericardiocentesis;however, the cause of cardiac tamponade remained undetermined on admission. Transesophageal echocardiography and electrocardiography-synchronized contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a suspected source...

Aortic valve prosthetic infections can lead to the spread of infection, causing annular abscesses and annular destruction, which may require annular reconstruction and aortic root replacement. Reports on the i...

– To review and analyze the clinical characteristics of patients experiencing venous thromboembolism(VTE) complications following unilateral partial pulmonary resection performed via video-assisted thoracoscop...

There is some controversy regarding drug therapy to prevent in-stent restenosis (ISR) after carotid artery stenting. In recent years, cilostazol has received increasing research attention. We performed a meta-...

We present the case of a 71-year-old woman with gastrointestinal bleeding 21 days after undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Initial imaging revealed a pseudoaneurysm of nonaneurysmal infrarenal aorta, managed with an endovascular stent graft. Despite this procedure, recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding persisted, prompting further imaging that identified an aortoenteric fistula complicated by endograft infection. The fistula likely resulted from an iatrogenic injury caused by trocar...

This retrospective study aimed to summarize the application of 3-dimensional(3D) reconstruction via modified pulmonary artery computed tomography angiography(CTA), as well as to compare the surgical outcomes of 3...

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a prevalent critical condition encountered in clinical settings and is characterized by high mortality. This research investigated miR-99a in diagnosing ARDS and i...

CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate medium-term restenosis rates after CEA are similar between biological and synthetic patches. However, well-designed randomised control trials are required to definitively answer the question of which patch material is superior for carotid reconstruction.

Thyroid storm (TS) is an endocrine emergency requiring aggressive medical management. In severe cases, hemodynamic instability may necessitate extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support as a bridge to ...
