Background: Primary cardiac tumors are uncommon, with approximately 70-80% classified as benign. Myxomas constitute roughly half of all benign cardiac tumors, while cardiac hydatid cysts are exceptionally rare. Shortness of breath is a prominent symptom associated with these conditions.

- The study explored the relationships between histopathological features of carotid body tumors and variables like age, gender, tumor size, and Shamblin classification, as well as factors affecting surgical outcomes such as embolization status and neurological complications.
- Analyzing 46 past cases, the research recorded an average tumor size of 3.55 cm, a hospital discharge time of approximately 4 days, and noted that 13% experienced neurological complications, with significant correlations found between tumor size and complications.
- The findings indicate that larger tumor diameters make surgery more challenging and increase complication rates, suggesting that careful tumor removal techniques could help prevent recurrence.
Objective: The aim of the present study was to share the experiences gained from emergency and semiemergency cases of open heart surgery performed during the COVID-19 outbreak in Necmettin Erbakan University Meram Medical Faculty Hospital, which was defined as a pandemic hospital by Turkish Ministry of Health and provided third degree health services.
Materials And Methods: A total of 54 patients were retrospectively analyzed between 23 March and 22 May 2020, who were diagnosed to have aortic dissection, coronary artery disease, and heart valve diseases.
Results: Thirty-two CABG, 12 valve surgery, 6 aortic surgery, 4 CABG + valve surgeries were performed.
Aim: The aim is to discuss the clinical characteristics, time, anatomical vascular distribution, radiological features, functional outcomes after stroke and possible pathophysiological mechanisms of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) that develop after cardiac surgery.
Method: A total of 3,474 patients, who underwent cardiac surgery between 2015-2020, retrospectively were analyzed. Forty-nine patients, who developed AIS and had brain CT and diffusion MR images during hospitalization, were included in the study.
