This retrospective study evaluates the clinical impact of perioperative multimodal analgesia in the minimally invasive treatment of severe blunt chest trauma with hemopneumothorax using a thoracoscopic Ni-Ti shape memory embracing plate. A total of 100 patients with severe blunt chest trauma and moderate to severe hemopneumothorax treated at Hanyang Hospital affiliated with Wuhan University of Science and Technology from January 2019 to January 2022 were enrolled. Patients were divided into 2 groups: a control group (50 patients) receiving patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA), and a study group (50 patients) administered a multimodal analgesia regimen.

Background: Ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) can lead to sudden cardiac death. The role of ventricular tachycardia ablation (VTA) in CS has been investigated in a few small, single-center, and larger observational studies, but the evidence still needs to be provided. This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of VTA in patients with CS admitted with a diagnosis of VT.

Article Synopsis
  • The study compares outcomes of left atrial appendage closure combined with catheter ablation (LAACCA) vs. catheter ablation alone in patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure.
  • Results show that LAACCA leads to longer hospital stays, higher mortality rates, and increased hospitalization costs compared to catheter ablation alone.
  • Post-procedure complications were also more common in the LAACCA group, including higher rates of myocardial ischemia and complete atrioventricular block.

Background: Brady- and tachyarrhythmias commonly complicate adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). Permanent pacemakers (PPMs) or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are often utilised to prevent morbidity or mortality related to arrhythmia, but can also be associated with significant morbidity themselves.

Methods: We analysed outcomes from patients in our comprehensive ACHD database who were seen at least twice since 2000 and once since 2018.

Rib fractures are a common injury following blunt chest trauma, accounting for approximately 10% of all traumatic injuries and up to 50% of blunt chest trauma cases. These fractures are associated with a high risk of complications, such as pneumothorax, hemothorax, and pulmonary infections, and can significantly impact respiratory function. This study analyzes the risk factors for poor healing and long-duration pain in the conservative treatment of rib fractures, providing a reference for clinicians in choosing conservative treatment and formulating treatment plans.
