CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic nephrectomy and renal autotransplantation is an effective method for repairing severe ureteral injury with the preservation of renal function. A venous patch using bovine pericardium might be considered as a replacement for a fragile vein.

Unroofed coronary sinus (UCS) represents a rare subtype of atrial septal defect (ASD), an adult congenital heart disease characterized by communication between the systemic and pulmonary circulations at the atrial level. This case report presents the unique occurrence of a large, unrepaired ASD secundum and an incidentally identified UCS type II in a 25-year-old female during a cardiac murmur assessment. The diagnosis of ASD secundum was initially made using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE)...

Post-Operative Atrial Fibrillation (POAF) is the most frequent complication of cardiac surgery and is associated with reduced survival, increased rates of cognitive changes and cerebrovascular accidents, heart...

We explored the clinical significance of miR-28-5p pre- and post-endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patients.

St. Thomas cardioplegia is commonly administered to adults, yet repeated dosing at brief intervals is required. Del Nido’s cardioplegic solution provides a prolonged duration of safe myocardial arrest, yet it ...

The relationship between venous congestion in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and acute kidney injury (AKI) in cardiac surgery has not utterly substantiated. This study aimed at investigate the relationship betwe...

It is essential to find reliable biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis of acute heart failure (AHF) for its mitigation. Currently, increasing attention is paid to the role of microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) as ...

The aim of this study was to assess the ability of radiologic factors such as mean computed tomography (mCT) value, consolidation/tumor ratio (C/T ratio), solid tumor size, and the maximum standardized uptake ...
