The choice of conduits for surgical revascularization in patients with aortic coarctation can be puzzling, as the internal thoracic arteries can be dilated, atherosclerotic and unsuitable for grafting. Reports in the literature are controversial: in some cases, the internal thoracic artery was not suitable for revascularization, while in others, it could be used with discordant outcomes. Here, we review the literature on the subject.

Diagnostic accuracy of -specific triple-color FluoroSpot assay in differentiating tuberculosis infection status in febrile patients with suspected tuberculosis.
Front Immunol
January 2025
Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, State Key Laboratory of Complex Severe and Rare Disease, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a (MTB)-specific triple-color FluoroSpot assay (IFN-γ/IL-2/TNF-α) in the differentiation of tuberculosis (TB) infection status in febrile patients.
Method: Febrile patients with suspected active TB (ATB) were consecutively enrolled. The frequencies and proportions of MTB-specific T cells secreting IFN-γ, IL-2, and TNF-α were detected at the single-cell level by triple-color FluoroSpot assay.
Inpatient lung cancer surgery outcomes in Illinois.
Surg Pract Sci
September 2023
Division of General Internal Medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, 750 N. Lakeshore Dr. 10th Floor, Chicago, IL 60611, United States.
Objective: This study analyzed inpatient mortality and length of stay for lung cancer surgery in Illinois hospitals by patient clinical and demographic characteristics, procedure types, and hospital and surgeon volume.
Methods: The study analyzed lung cancer patients who underwent lobectomy or sublobar resection at Illinois hospitals from 2016 to June 2022. Trends in procedure type, inpatient mortality, one-day length of stay (LOS), and prolonged LOS (>10 days) were evaluated.
The History of Surgical Stabilization of Rib Fractures (SSRF).
Surg Pract Sci
September 2022
University of California, Division of Trauma, Burns & Surgical Critical Care, 333 City Blvd West, Suite 1600, Irvine, Orange, CA, 92868, United States.
Responsible for approximately 35% of all trauma-related deaths in the United States, thoracic trauma is one of the leading causes of death among trauma patients. Furthermore, traumatic rib fractures represent the most frequently encountered injury following thoracic trauma with mortality rates ranging from 8% among the elderly to 13% for patients with a flail chest. This manuscript reviews the history of SSRF as well as the contributions of the pioneering surgeons who championed this treatment.

Surg Pract Sci
March 2024
Surgery Department, Hospital Pedro Hispano, R. de Dr. Eduardo Torres, Matosinhos, Senhora da Hora 4464-513, Portugal.
Background: Totally implantable venous central access devices (TIVADs) can be implanted by open surgery or by direct puncture in the subclavian (ScV), internal jugular (IJV) or cephalic (CephV) veins.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in 201 patients. Thirty-day follow-up data was analyzed to compare the outcomes of different techniques and evaluation of risk factors.
New-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation is associated with perioperative inflammatory response and longer hospital stay after robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy.
Surg Pract Sci
March 2023
Department of Thoracic Oncology, Moffitt Cancer Center, 12902 USF Magnolia Drive, Suite CSB-6 (ThorProg), Tampa, FL, USA.
Background: Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia previously linked to systemic inflammation, which has been correlated with leukocyte and prealbumin levels. We sought to identify predictors of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) following robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 709 consecutive patients who underwent robotic-assisted lobectomy by one surgeon over 10.
