Takotsubo cardiomyopathy after cardiac surgery: A case-series and systematic review of literature.

Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a rare entity after cardiac surgery.

Aims: To describe patients' profile who developed postoperative TTC after cardiac surgery, management, and outcomes.

Methods: We performed a systematic literature search to extract cases of TTC after adult cardiac surgery (from 1990 to 2021).

Pacemaker implantation after aortic valve replacement: rapid-deployment Intuity® compared to conventional bioprostheses.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation after aortic valve replacement by rapid-deployment bioprosthesis (RDB) and standard valve (Standard).

Methods: All patients undergoing aortic valve replacement between 2015 and 2018, in 1 centre, were included. A multivariate analysis on the whole cohort and then a propensity score matching were used to compare the 2 groups.

Isolated fallopian tube metastasis from colorectal cancer: ultrasonographic features.

We present here the first-reported case of tubal metastasis from colorectal cancer diagnosed by a preoperative pelvic ultrasound. A 53-year-old woman suffering from vaginal discharge was referred to us 2 years after she underwent a partial colectomy for adenocarcinoma. The pelvic ultrasound examination revealed a right pelvic mass of 52 × 24 × 38 mm, independent of the right ovary, which was apparently unaffected.
