Preliminary and Intermediate-Term Results of the Novel Modification of Frozen Elephant Trunk: A Single-Center Study.

We evaluate the preliminary and intermediate-term results of Viet Duc modification of the frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique. During December 2019 and May 2023, 47 patients underwent surgery using our modification of the FET at Viet Duc University Hospital. The mean age of the patients was 56.

Angioplasty and angiorrhaphy efficiency in renal transplantation scenarios with multiple arteries and veins.

Objective: To evaluate post-transplant renal perfusion and vascular complications of renal transplantation in patients with the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) operated in the presence of multiple blood vessels at Viet Duc University Hospital.

Methods: A non-controlled interventional study was performed prospectively and retrospectively between January 2012 and June 2018. The study sample includes 84 patients who underwent live donor renal transplantation in the presence of multiple arteries (RAs) and veins (RVs) at Viet Duc Hospital.

Rare Condition of Intrathoracic Phrenic Nerve Schwannoma Successfully Treated with Uniportal Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery.

Introduction: Neurogenic tumors in the mediastinum account for approximately 20-30% of all types of mediastinal tumors in adults. This pathology is usually benign and has no or very few symptoms. Schwannoma rarely involves the phrenic nerve.

Application of homograft for intraoperative severe atherosclerotictic iliac vessel finding in renal transplantation: A case report.

Introduction: Severe atherosclerosis is a complicated condition in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and could lead to the operation's failure, when it was not detectable by pre-operative diagnostic imaging. Several methods including two-stage approach, synthetic graft, stent… have been reported, but complications (i.e.

Nonintubated Uniportal Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery for Intrathoracic Diseases: Initial Results in Vietnam.

Objective: Nonintubated uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a recent controversial procedure in many countries. Hence, the authors would like to present the experience in performing this approach and evaluate its initial results in the treatment, particularly, of intrathoracic diseases in Vietnam.

Methods: A prospective, descriptive study was conducted on 17 patients with intrathoracic diseases treated with nonintubated uniportal VATS from February to July 2019.

Thoracoscopic surgery approach to mediastinal mature teratomas: a single-center experience.

Background: Mediastinal mature teratomas are rare tumors with diverse surgical approaches. The aim of this study is to review our experience of thoracoscopic surgery management in patients with teratomas.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 28 consecutive patients with mediastinal mature teratomas who underwent thoracoscopic surgery at Viet Duc University Hospital from January 2008 to August2018.
