Persistent hypoglossal artery (PHA) is a rare, anatomical variant in which the posterior cerebral circulation is primarily supplied by a branch of the carotid artery, rather than the vertebral arteries. This case report discusses carotid endarterectomy performed on a man, 67 years of age, with high-grade, asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis and ipsilateral PHA. Preoperative computed tomography angiography identified the PHA arising from the internal carotid artery, compensating for atretic...

The hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced pyroptosis of cardiomyocytes plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction (MI). miR-155-5p represents a promising target for MI therapy. However, it...

Congenital pericardial agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly resulting from the incomplete development of the pleuropericardial membranes during embryogenesis, leading to the partial or complete absence of the...

Surgical treatment is crucial in managing bronchiectasis. Segmentectomy, although a complex procedure, has become more feasible with advancements in thin-slice CT and three-dimensional imaging. These technolog...

Studies show conflicting results regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease requiring cardiac surgery and data from Germany are lacking. In this stu...

Chest trauma may precipitate a spectrum of injuries, among which tracheal laceration represents an uncommon but critical sequela. The occurrence of tracheal laceration could significantly impair respiratory an...

Unnecessary blood preparation by surgeons adversely affects blood bank stocks and the healthcare system in many ways. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the patient blood management strategy in patients in...
