Scimitar syndrome is a rare condition described by unique anatomic features that consist mainly of an abnormal connection of the right pulmonary veins to the inferior vena cava and right atrial junction, as well as an anomalous systemic arterial supply to the right lung. We present the case of a 60-year-old man with an atypical variant of scimitar syndrome that was embryologically perplexing and anatomically challenging to correct. We highlight key surgical and procedural considerations for a patient with scimitar syndrome presenting with this complex surgical anatomy.

To investigate the association between overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE) and liver pathology after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation in cirrhotic patients. From July 2015 to April 2024, 73 patients from 4 hospitals in China who received TIPS creation and liver biopsy were retrospectively enrolled in this study. Based on whether OHE occurred within 3 months after TIPS creation, the patients were categorized into OHE (n = 29) and non-OHE (n = 44) groups.

This study aims to explore the relationship between the albumin-corrected anion gap (ACAG) and short- and long-term all-cause mortality (ACM) in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) managed in the intensive care unit (ICU). We conducted a retrospective analysis utilizing data extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) database. This study sought to investigate the correlation between ACAG and ACM among patients diagnosed with AP across various disease stages.
