Results of Vertical Infra-Axillary Thoracotomy for Total Repair of Tetralogy of Fallot.

Objective: To demonstrate the efficacy of minimally invasive surgery via a vertical infra-axillary incision for complete tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) correction.

Methods: In a study conducted from April to October 2023, 33 patients with TOF underwent total repair using this approach. On average, the patient age was 5.

Bidirectional Glenn operation without cardiopulmonary bypass: Single center experience and results.

Background: The bidirectional Glenn (BDG) shunt operation serves as temporary surgery for the treatment of single-ventricle physiology with the eventual Fontan procedure. In some cases, the procedure can be performed without the support of a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) machine. In this study, we present the surgical outcomes of off-pump BDG operation with the use of a temporary veno-atrial shunt to decompress the superior vena cava (SVC) during clamping time.

ELN missense variant in patient with mid-aortic syndrome case report.

Background: Mid-aortic syndrome (MAS) is characterized by the congenital coarctation of the abdominal aorta, abdominal and limb claudication, and hypertension. The etiology of this disorder is very diverse and often manifests in conjunction with Takayasu's arteritis, Williams-Beurens syndrome, and neurofibromatosis. The isolated mid-aortic syndrome is very rare with only a few cases reported in the literature.

Case report of mild TCIRG1-associated autosomal recessive osteopetrosis in Vietnam.

Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO) is a group of disease characterized by osteoclast dysfunction inhibiting bone resorption and bone turnover, with TCIRG1-associated ARO being more common leading to autosomal recessive infantile malignant osteopetrosis (OPTB1, MIM entry number # 259700). While most patients with TCIRG1-associated osteopetrosis present a malignant clinical course and shortened lifespan, a few cases of non-malignant TCIRG1-associated osteopetrosis have been reported. 24-year-old female patient came to us with limp gait, hip pain in both sides, and severe stiffness.

Total femur replacement in a patient with chronic persistence osteomyelitis - A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Total femoral replacement (TFR) is a salvage surgical procedure that has been indicated mainly for oncologic indication to avoid lower limb amputation but has recently been indicated for non-oncological disorders.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 63-year-old male with chronic osteomyelitis of the left femur, severe pain and bone deformation, the risk of amputation in this patient was very high. The patient underwent total femur replacement (TFR) with a modular mega-prosthesis.

Bicuspid reconstruction surgery in a patient suffering from aortic valve infective endocarditis with annular abscess using Ozaki's procedure: A case report.

Introduction: Aortic valve infective endocarditis with annular abscess is associated with high mortality rate and surgery is usually the choice of treatment. Plasty or reconstruction of aortic valve is being performed more widely.

Presentation Of Case: We report a case study of a 56-year-old male who was diagnosed with congenital bicuspid aortic valve, severe aortic stenosis and regurgitation, and annular abscess.

White out left hemithorax: A chronic expanding hematoma after blunt chest trauma.

A chronic expanding hematoma of the chest is rare after blunt chest trauma. Chest radiography and computed tomography showed a huge mass with focal calcification within the mass. Surgical removal is the main treatment for thoracic hematomas.

Tetralogy of Fallot With Dextrocardia and Anomalous Coronary Artery: A Case Report.

We report a rare case of tetralogy of Fallot with dextrocardia and anomalous coronary artery. Although this is an unusual complex disease, we have successfully repaired it with a combination of transatrial/transpulmonary and trans-right ventricle techniques.

St Elevation Myocardial Infarction in a Patient with an Anomalous Right Coronary Artery Originating from the Distal Left Circumflex.

A single coronary artery (SCA) is a rare congenital anomaly that occurs in isolation without associated structural heart disease. Reports of a SCA with acute myocardial infarction are very rare in medical literature. This case study examines a patient with a right coronary artery that originated as a branch of the distal left circumflex artery, which had a total occlusion.

Whole exome sequencing revealed a pathogenic variant in a gene related to malignant hyperthermia in a Vietnamese cardiac surgical patient: A case report.

Introduction: Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare autosomal dominant pharmacogenetic disorder which known associated with some genes such as and . Using whole exome analysis, we aimed to find out the genetic variant data in a malignant hyperthermia patient undergoing cardiac surgery.

Presentation Of Case: Patient was 59 years old male with dull left chest pain, mild breathing difficulty, thrombosis in the left atrium, mitral valve stenosis that needed a surgery to remove the thrombus and replace the mitral valve.

The Effects of Adipocytes on the Regulation of Breast Cancer in the Tumor Microenvironment: An Update.

Obesity is a global pandemic and it is well evident that obesity is associated with the development of many disorders including many cancer types. Breast cancer is one of that associated with a high mortality rate. Adipocytes, a major cellular component in adipose tissue, are dysfunctional during obesity and also known to promote breast cancer development both in vitro and in vivo.

Chronic contained abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture causing vertebral erosion.

Erosion of vertebral bodies by an abdominal aortic aneurysm is extremely rare. Chronic contained rupture can cause difficulties in diagnosis because there are many clinical presentations: back pain, sciatic pain, or an expansive abdominal mass. Computed tomography is the gold-standard diagnostic tool.

Superior Cavopulmonary Anastomosis in Patients With Bilateral Superior Caval Veins: Use of a Rolled Pericardial Graft to Create a Single Caval Vein.

We propose a new surgical technique for superior cavopulmonary anastomosis in patients with functionally univentricular heart and bilateral superior caval veins. One of the reasons for failure of bidirectional Glenn shunts in patients with bilateral superior caval veins is the small caliber of one or both veins, with limited flow through each cavopulmonary anastomosis that can easily result in torsion, blockage, or clot formation. The conversion of two small superior caval veins into a single confluence which is large enough to connect with the pulmonary artery (PA) can resolve this problem.
