Loeys-Dietz syndrome involves vascular abnormalities and aortic root aneurysms. This study described a 10-year-old boy who presented with progressively enlarging ascending aortic aneurysm and mild aortic valve regurgitation. He was diagnosed with Loeys-Dietz syndrome and underwent aortic valve-sparing repair. However, 6 months after the surgery, aortic root pseudoaneurysms were detected. Thus, aortic root repair was performed by transseptal approach. The orifices of pseudoaneurysms were closed...

Congenital heart disease may present with pectus excavatum. Concomitant and staged repair are described, but the optimal approach is controversial. We report a 17-year-old male with left aortic arch, aberrant ...

CONCLUSIONS: This study on a large and homogeneous series of patients with CM-I undergoing PFDD with heterologous duraplasty demonstrated that CSF complications may be kept low. The dural substitutes derived from equine pericardium, particularly when combined with a collagen matrix inlay graft, exhibited a reduced rate of CSF leaks compared with substitutes derived from bovine pericardium.

Retained blood syndrome contributes to higher morbidity and mortality post cardiac surgery. We investigate the benefits of continuous postoperative pericardial flushing (CPPF) over standard care chest drainage...

The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) guidelines recommend thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for blunt traumatic aortic injuries (BTAI) in adults, especially BTAI grades II to IV. TEVAR is increasin...
