Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease. In patients with a small pulmonary annulus, repair often requires a transannular patch, resulting in progressive pulmonary regurgitation and...
This video demonstrates video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomies, providing step-by-step instructional videos that dissect important structures in a library format, organized by each specific lobe. 1. Left Upper Lobectomy A left...
Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare but critical congenital anomaly that typically presents in infancy with myocardial ischemia and left ventricular dysfunction. Early surgical...
A 56-year-old woman with no significant past medical history presented with progressive dyspnea on exertion and intermittent back pain. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest demonstrated a markedly dilated main...
Surgical repair of anomalous left coronary artery from the right pulmonary artery is indicated once diagnosed, especially in infants presenting with severe ventricular dysfunction, with or without mitral regurgitation or...
The authors present a case of reoperative settings using a minimally invasive approach in an 11-year-old girl with a complex congenital heart defect. The procedure consisted of pulmonary valve replacement...
This prospective observational study investigated the relationship between intraoperative three-dimensional (3D) echocardiographic parameters and invasively derived right ventricular-pulmonary arterial (RV-PA) coupling (Ees/Ea) in 78 cardiac surgery patients. Utilizing single-beat pressure-volume...
This individual patient data meta-analysis evaluated the clinical efficacy of surgical sealants after pulmonary resection using data from seven randomized controlled trials including 552 patients. The use of a sealant...
