Objective: To improve sternal elevation for pectus excavatum to be more simple, less injured and less recurrent.
Methods: We modified procedures for the sternal elevation for pectus excavatum by dispersal of the shortened fibrous bundle connection with central tendon of the diaphragm, correction of the reverse angle of sternocostales joins, transverse cuneiform anterior osteotomy of sternum and reconnection of oblique resected costal cartilage.
Results: Since March 1997, 8 children (4 - 10-year-old) with the pectus excavatum have been treated by this modified sternal elevation, 4 of them who suffer from quick heart pulse improved their heart rate immediately during the operation, all patients have less bleeding and good cosmetic appearance without any complications. There were satisfactory results without recurrence after 6 months to 1 year follow-up.
Conclusion: The modified sternal elevation for pectus excavatum is safe, effective and reliable method.

Observational epidemiological studies indicate a higher fracture incidence in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients compared to the general population. However, the causal relationship between RA and fracture risk, particularly traumatic and osteoporotic fractures, is not well established. We performed Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to evaluate the causal relationship between RA and fracture risk.

We present the case of a 28-year-old female patient who underwent a bilateral lung transplantation for underlying terminal bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The peroperative access to the hilum of the right lung was significantly compromised due to the presence of a pectus excavatum (Haller index 11). We used a wired sternal crane technique to elevate the sternum and gain exposure.

Introduction: Although myocardial injury is common after blunt chest trauma, tricuspid valve injury associated with traumatic atrial septal defect resulting in acute hypoxia is an infrequent event. We report an unusual case of blunt chest trauma referred to us for unexplained hypoxemia, emphasizing the unusual nature of injury and the importance of comprehensive cardiac evaluation in such cases.

A 78-year-old female presented with a history of left atrial myxoma resection 12 years before presentation. The initial surgery involved a median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass for tumor excision. Sternal closure was achieved using six titanium wires, with the lowermost wire noted to be slightly elevated from the sternum immediately post-operation.

Background: Central venous catheter (CVC) is often used in the perioperative management of esophageal cancer. The position of the CVC tip has been reported to shift with body positioning and, although infrequent, may traverse into the azygos vein arch. Herein, we describe a case where a migrated CVC tip in the azygous vein arch was identified during esophageal cancer surgery, preventing CVC dissection concurrent with azygous vein arch resection.
