Article Synopsis
- The study compares the clinical outcomes of two groups of patients undergoing type A aortic dissection repair: those who received deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) at temperatures <20°C and those given moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest (MHCA) at 20-28°C.
- Results showed that the DHCA group had significantly higher rates of complications like acute kidney injury (AKI), delirium, and longer ICU stays compared to the MHCA group.
- The findings suggest that using MHCA might be protective against certain postoperative issues, potentially improving overall patient recovery outcomes.
: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between apical sparing of longitudinal strain (LS), as measured by speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE), and the histological presence of myocardial fibrosis (MF), in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Twenty-seven HOCM patients who underwent elective Morrow procedures +/- aortic valve replacement (AVR) were included. All patients had standard echocardiography, with STE pre- and post-operatively.

Methods: Echocardiographic data of 48 patients (25 thoracotomy vs. 23 VATS) were retrospectively analyzed.
