Article Synopsis
  • Nirsevimab is approved in the US for preventing RSV in neonates and infants, particularly during their first RSV season, based on safety data from three clinical trials involving different populations.
  • In the studies, participants were given a single dose of nirsevimab or a comparator treatment, with safety data showing that most adverse events (AEs) were mild to moderate and largely unrelated to the treatment.
  • The conclusion indicated that nirsevimab has a favorable safety profile for preventing RSV disease, regardless of the infants' gestational age or pre-existing conditions.

Background: Internal thoracic arteries (ITA) have been shown to offer longer graft patency. Off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) through small lateral thoracotomy has been reported. The present study deals with feasibility of using bilateral ITAs (BITA) in CABG through small lateral thoracotomy facilitated by the da Vinci robotic system.
