Reconstruction methods for and cosmetic evaluation of external nasal tumour resections: flap versus graft.

Nose reconstruction is challenging given the three-dimensional structure and free edge, and various methods have been reported. In general, local flaps provide cosmetic outcomes that are better than those following skin grafts, but there are no published comparative studies on Asians. To determine whether local flaps or skin grafts may optimally be used to reconstruct external nasal defects among Asians.

Bilateral multiple stroke, left upper extremity ischemia, and transient complete atrioventricular block in transcatheter aortic valve implantation: a case report.

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a minimally invasive surgery. However, there is a risk of surgical manipulation causing detachment of a lesion of the aortic valve, which can result in various embolisms.

Case Presentation: An 87-year-old woman with symptomatic severe aortic valve stenosis was scheduled for transfemoral TAVI under monitored anesthesia.

Anesthetic management with remimazolam in very elderly patients undergoing hybrid surgery of transcatheter aortic valve implantation plus off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting: report of two cases.

Background: Remimazolam is a short-acting benzodiazepine with small circulatory depression. We used remimazolam for general anesthesia management in two very elderly patients undergoing hybrid surgery of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) plus off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG).

Case Presentation: A 96-year-old man (case 1) and a 92-year-old woman (case 2) had complex coronary artery disease (CAD) and severe aortic stenosis (AS) and were scheduled for TAVI plus OPCAB.
