Background: Stentless aortic valves have been developed to overcome obstructive limitations associated with stented bioprostheses. A new concept of surgical sutureless (SU) bioprosthesis has been developed in the last decade. In this multi-institutional study we sought to compare hemodynamics of different bioprosthesis concept as transcatheter (TAVR), Livanova Perceval S sutureless valve and Freedom Solo Stentless (FS) valve in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (sAVR).
Methods: From 2010 to 2016, 478 patients underwent sAVR with FS, 518 Perceval S and 367 patients underwent TAVR. After a propensity matched analysis 185 patients in each group were selected. Thirty-day postoperative clinical and echocardiographic parameters were evaluated. Echocardiographic hemodynamic data were also collected at 12 and 24 months.
Results: Mean prosthesis diameter was 23.8±1.3 mm for FS, 23.2±2.1 mm for Perceval S and 25.1±2.6 mm for TAVR. In-hospital mortality was 2.0% for FS, 1.9% for Perceval, 5.8% for TAVR (P=0.02). Postoperative FS peak gradients were 15.6±9.1 mmHg (mean 7.6±5.4 mmHg); SU gradients were 18.7±9.1 mmHg (mean 10.9±5.4 mmHg), TAVR peak gradients were 14.7±9.1 mmHg (mean 6.1±5.4 mmHg) P=0.018 (P<0.001). Postoperative effective orifice area (EOA) was 1.94±0.7 cm² for FS, 1.6±0.7 cm² for SU and 1.97±0.7cm² for TAVR (P<0.001). There was no prostheses-patient-mismatch (PPM) in FS group, while 4 cases and 2 cases are reported in SU and TAVR respectively. Postoperative grade 2-3 paravalvular leak (PVL) was present in 4.3% for TAVR and 0.5% in SU valves and no cases in FS. Postoperative permanent pacemaker implant rate was 11.9% for TAVR (1.0%) in FS group and 5.4% in SU valves (P<0.001).
Conclusions: SU patients demonstrated post-operative excellent hemodynamic performance with smaller EROA and higher gradients compared to FS and TAVR. TAVR demonstrated higher mortality and pacemaker rates. Further studies are warrented to validate TAVR indications in this subset of patients.

The surgical risk is higher for obese patients undergoing laparoscopic left hemicolectomy. To enhance the surgical safety and efficacy for obese patients, we have innovatively integrated the advantages of various surgical approaches to modify a pancreas-guided C-shaped surgical procedure. The safety and quality were assessed through a retrospective analysis.

Purpose: Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is an important prognostic factor for rectal cancer. This study aims to introduce a novel cutoff point for CEA within the normal range to improve prognosis prediction and enhance patient stratification in rectal cancer patients.
Methods: A total of 316 patients with stages I to III rectal cancer who underwent surgical tumor resection were enrolled.

Background: Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is an autoimmune hemolytic anemia that induces blood coagulation and hemolysis upon exposure to cold temperatures. Strict temperature control is essential to mitigate these effects, especially during surgical procedures where hypothermia is possible.
Case Presentation: A 57-year-old male, 165 cm and 72 kg, diagnosed with CAD, underwent cerebral vascular anastomosis.

Morphea is a chronic inflammatory fibrosing disorder. Since fibrosis is the hallmark of both scars and morphea, our attention was raised for the possible use of Fractional Ablative CO lasers and microneedling as treatment modalities for morphea. To compare the efficacy and safety of Fractional Ablative CO lasers and microneedling in the treatment of morphea.
