Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on comparing two surgical techniques—sternotomy and thoracotomy—for treating aortic coarctation, aiming to find an effective approach that minimizes complications and avoids recoarctation.
- 103 procedures were divided between the two techniques, with a matching analysis of 25 patients from each group to ensure fair comparison.
- Results showed similar mortality rates and early complications for both methods, but the sternotomy approach indicated a lower rate of recoarctation, suggesting it might be the preferred option for surgical repair.
Background: Surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation has been the most efficient treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). Combined energy (CE) ablation and cryoablation alone (CA) are the most common energy modes used for ablation, however, comparative data is lacking.
Objectives: To compare the efficacy of CE ablation with CA in the setting of concomitant biatrial ablation for non-paroxysmal AF.

A 74-year-old male entered the hospital with a medical history of an aortic arch and a descending thoracic aneurysm. To prevent arm ischaemia after the frozen elephant trunk procedure, a left subclavian artery to left common carotid artery anastomosis was performed. The postoperative period was complicated by sepsissternal infection and mediastinitis.

We aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of a minimally invasive approach (partial sternotomy [PS]) and conventional approach (median sternotomy [FS]) for aortic root surgery.
Methods: Patients who underwent aortic root surgery at our hospital from 2016 to 2021 were retrospectively enrolled and divided into two groups.
