With the increase of patients with adult congenital heart disease, the number of high-risk multiple redo sternotomies is increasing. Calcified conduit embedded in the sternum or large vessels attached to the sternum presents an especially challenging case. This video tutorial presents a simple safe redo sternotomy technique using an ultrasonic bone scalpel in such high-risk patients.

Background: Synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an innovative MRI technology that enables the acquisition of multiple quantitative values, including T1 and T2 values, proton density, and myelin volume, in a single scan. Although the usefulness of myelin measurement with synthetic MRI has been reported for assessing several diseases, investigations in patients with stroke have not been reported. We aimed to explore the utility of myelin quantification using synthetic MRI in predicting outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Aims: We aim to explore the predictive value of admission blood glucose to serum albumin ratio (AAR) for futile recanalization after successful interventional recanalization of acute cerebral infarction.
Methods: We retrospectively collected the data of patients suffered from acute cerebral infarction due to anterior circulation large vessel occlusion and received successful interventional recanalization from January 2019 to November 2023. Statistical analysis of clinical data was conducted using SPSS 26.

Introduction: Despite the implementation of mechanical thrombectomy, acute ischaemic stroke with large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO) remains a significant health concern, characterised by substantial morbidity and mortality. Our trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of minocycline in reducing infarct volume and improving functional outcomes in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy for anterior circulation AIS-LVO.
Methods And Analysis: The MIST-A trial is a prospective, randomised, open-label, blinded-endpoint trial to be conducted across 12 medical centres.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is frequently associated with increased incidence and mortality of pulmonary hypertension (PH). The immune response contributes to pulmonary artery remodeling and OSA-related diseases. The immunologic factors linked to OSA-induced PH are not well understood.
