Totally endoscopic non-robotic excision of aortic valve fibroelastoma: a case report
Papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are a rare subtype of benign primary cardiac tumours, which are most commonly found on the aortic valve. Although median sternotomy is still used frequently there has been diffe...
Anesthesia management for tracheoesophageal fistula closed with a new gastrointestinal occluder device: a case report
Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a rare but life-threatening complication after esophagectomy. A new gastrointestinal occluder device provides treatment for TEF patients. However, TEF-related pneumonia and r...
Recellularized bovine pericardium with autologous mesenchymal stem cells reduces immune activation
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that preventing initial immune activation with autologous MSC recellularization may be an effective approach to decrease the recipient immune response, preventing recipient immune recognition of xenogeneic tissue engineered heart valves, and potentially leading to reduction in SVD incidence.
Correlation and significance of COX-2, Ki67, VEGF and other immune indexes with the growth of malignant pulmonary nodules
This study intends to explore the factors affecting the growth of pulmonary nodules in the natural process by immunohistochemical method.
An alternative posterior ascending pulmonary artery treatment in lobectomy with inflammatory lymph node infiltration
Lobectomy may be a challenging treatment option in lung cancer with inflammatory lymph node infiltration. Moreover, the en-masse lobectomy technique, which involves the simultaneous ligation or stapling of pul...
