Total autologous reconstruction of the right and left ventricular outflow tracts: the case for the modified Ross-Ozaki procedure.
Multimed Man Cardiothorac Surg

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Mansoura University Mansoura, Egypt.
The Ross procedure continues to be the best procedure to address unrepairable aortic valve pathology, especially in young adults. The Achilles heel of this procedure has been aortic root dilation and the potential need for a reoperation that may be associated with slightly increased risks in addition to the need for intervention on the pulmonary outflow tract. Modifying the Ross procedure by autograft inclusion inside a Dacron graft seems to have the potential advantage of stabilizing the autograft diameter, which may be associated with improved durability and decrease the need for future intervention.

Objective: Percutaneous vegetation debulking has been reported to treat tricuspid valve infective endocarditis (TVIE), but data on feasibility compared with conventional surgical strategies are limited. We aimed to compare short-term outcomes of suction debulking with partial venovenous bypass to conventional open surgery in this population.
Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study that included all patients with isolated TVIE who underwent suction debulking with partial venovenous bypass or tricuspid valve surgery between January 2010 and December 2022.
Minimally invasive mitral valve replacement redo surgery under ventricular fibrillation in a patient with dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis: a case report.
J Cardiothorac Surg

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, 79#, Qingchun Road, Hangzhou, 310003, China.
Background: Dextrocardia is a rare cardiac malposition where the heart's normal orientation is reversed and is most commonly associated with situs inversus totalis (SIT). Such cases are technically challenging when heart surgery is needed, especially re-do surgery.
Case Presentation: A 72-year-old female patient was referred to our hospital with complaints of chest tightness and reduced activity tolerance.
A case of stroke as a unique sign of subclinical infective endocarditis by Abiotrophia defectiva: a case report.
Int J Emerg Med

Microbiology and Virology Unit, Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Cagliari, Cagliari, Italy.
Purpose: Here we describe a patient admitted for a stroke that was unexpectedly correlated with subclinical infective endocarditis attributable to a rarely opportunistic pathogen, Abiotrophia defectiva.
Case Report: A 75-year-old man presented with a stroke. Transesophageal echocardiography suggested vegetation on all aortic valve cusps, despite the absence of clinical or laboratory signs of infection.
Anatomical investigation of safety determining factors for keyhole drilling trajectories for robotic cochlear implant surgery.

Purpose: Cochlear implants (CI) are the most successful bioprosthesis in medicine probably due to the tonotopic anatomy of the auditory pathway and of course the brain plasticity. Correct placement of the CI arrays, respecting the inner ear anatomy are therefore important. The ideal trajectory to insert a cochlear implant array is defined by an entrance through the round window membrane and continues as long as possible parallel to the basal turn of the cochlea.
