miRNA, circRNA, and lncRNA play crucial roles in the pathogenesis and progression of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI). This study aims to provide valuable insights into miRNA, circRNA, lncRNA, an...

Patients with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect (PA/VSD) are prone to progressive aortic dilation. However, there are relatively few reports of progressive development of aortic aneurysm or aorti...

CONCLUSIONS: In superior vena cava reconstruction, polytetrafluoroethylene grafts without rings were superior to bovine pericardial conduits in terms of midterm graft patency.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) treatment brings more benefits than risks to most coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the pathophysiological mechanism ...

The Commando procedure is an important tool to address extensive calcification of the aortic and mitral valves associated with radiation heart disease. We present a symptomatic patient with radiation heart disease associated with calcification of the mitral and aortic valves and the aortomitral curtain, which is typical of this pathology. The surgical approach consisted of exposure through aortotomy and left atrial dome, followed by aortic and mitral valve debridement, aortic and mitral valve...

Lung cancer is the first cause of cancer-related death. Awake lung resection is a new frontier of the concept of minimally invasive surgery. Our purpose is to demonstrate the feasibility of this technique for ...

In this study, we aimed to screen the risk factors for delayed extubation after surgery for Ebstein’s anomaly (EA), determine the diagnostic cut-off values, and develop a prediction equation to accurately enco...
