A 28-year-old woman underwent endoscopic mitral valve repair for active infective endocarditis with Staphylococcus aureus. At the index operation, the mitral annular abscess was completely debrided, yielding an

Body mass index effect on long-term survival after coronary artery bypass surgery: a competing risk analysis. Interdiscip. Cardiovasc. Thorac. Surg. (IF 1.978) Pub Date : 2023-09-02 Armando Abreu,José Máximo,Francisca Saraiva,Adelino Leite-Moreira
OBJECTIVES The aim of this sudy was to investigate the presence of an obesity paradox on the long-term mortality of patients undergoing primary isolated coronary artery bypass surgery and to uncover whether any discrepancy found could be attributable to cardiovascular or noncardiovascular causes. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 5242 consecutive patients with body mass index (BMI) over 18.5 kg/m2

OBJECTIVES Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) management may potentially play a role in the development of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) after cardiac surgery. The aim of this study was to explore this potential association. METHODS Patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and/or valvular surgery during 2016-2020 were included in an observational single-centre study. Data collected from

The clinical-histologic and prognostic characteristics in patients with a second primary non-small-cell lung cancer after a lobectomy. Interdiscip. Cardiovasc. Thorac. Surg. (IF 1.978) Pub Date : 2023-09-02 Lei-Lei Wu,Rang-Rang Wang,Jia-Yi Qian,Yu'e Liu,Shang-Shang Ma,Ming-Jun Li,Long-Yan Xie,Zhi-Xin Li,Kun Li,Bing-Yong Sheng,Jun-Rong Ding,Dong Xie
OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to investigate whether an operation can offer survival benefits for patients with a second primary non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after a lobectomy for a first primary NSCLC and to analyse the characteristics affecting the survival of those patients. METHODS We performed survival analyses of patients with a second primary NSCLC based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology

Mediastinal perigraft seroma after thoracic aortic surgery. Interdiscip. Cardiovasc. Thorac. Surg. (IF 1.978) Pub Date : 2023-09-02 Ryo Suzuki,Masafumi Akita,Suguru Miyazaki,Ryo Shimano
OBJECTIVES We investigated pertinent factors associated with mediastinal perigraft seroma (PGS) after thoracic aortic surgery. In addition, we provided a clinical review of this entity, as reports reviewing abundant mediastinal PGS cases are rare. METHODS Eighty-two patients who underwent either ascending aortic replacement or aortic arch replacement between 2016 and 2022 in our institution were enrolled

Impact of gastro-jejunostomy tube in lung transplant patients: a propensity-matched analysis. Interdiscip. Cardiovasc. Thorac. Surg. (IF 1.978) Pub Date : 2023-09-02 Masashi Furukawa,Ernest G Chan,John P Ryan,Jenalee N Coster,Pablo G Sanchez
OBJECTIVES During the postoperative phase of lung transplantation, the surgical creation of a gastro-jejunostomy (GJ) may be deemed necessary for patients with severe oesophageal dysmotility, prolonged oral intake difficulties stemming from use of a ventilator or marked malnutrition. We explored the effects of postoperative GJ tube on survival and bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome in lung transplant

Bronchial branching patterns and volumetry in the right upper lobe: impact on segmentectomy planning. Interdiscip. Cardiovasc. Thorac. Surg. (IF 1.978) Pub Date : 2023-09-02 Kentaro Miura,Takashi Eguchi,Shogo Ide,Shuji Mishima,Shunichiro Matsuoka,Tetsu Takeda,Kazutoshi Hamanaka,Kimihiro Shimizu
OBJECTIVES The use of segmentectomy is expected to increase. However, understanding of the segmental bronchial branching is limited. Herein, we aimed to investigate bronchial branching pattern complexity and segmental volumetry of the right upper lung lobe to develop an accurate understanding of segmental anatomy and contribute to the advancement of safe and efficient lung segmentectomy. METHODS We

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare cancer control after segmentectomy and lobectomy in patients with radiologically pure-solid clinical stage IA3 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Patients with radiologically pure-solid clinical stage IA3 NSCLC who underwent lobectomy or segmentectomy at 3 institutions between 2010 and 2019 were identified.
