A 28-year-old female initially presented in 2022 with a persistent cough. Computed tomography (CT) imaging demonstrated features consistent with pulmonary sarcoidosis, which was subsequently confirmed by bronchoscopic biopsy. She was evaluated for lung transplantation and...
This multisociety European Society of Cardiology (ESC)/European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) consensus statement addresses three mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction: ventricular free-wall rupture, pseudoaneurysm, and papillary muscle rupture....
This multicenter registry assessed long-term outcomes of thoracoscopic atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation using a bipolar irrigated radiofrequency clamp across 13 years. Among 678 patients (predominantly longstanding persistent AF), freedom from...
