Background: Bypass surgery for complex intracranial aneurysms (IAs) results in drastic blood flow changes in intracranial arteries. The aim of the study was to elucidate how vessels adapt to blood flow changes after bypass surgery with phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI).
Methods: This is a prospective observational study to assess changes of the blood flow in intracranial arteries after bypass surgery for IAs. Flow rates and vessel diameters were measured with PC-MRI in 52 intracranial arteries of 7 healthy volunteers and 31 arteries of 8 IA patients who underwent bypass surgery. Wall shear stress (WSS) was calculated with the Hagen-Poiseuille formula. In 18 arteries of 5 patients, the same measurement was performed 1, 3, and 12 months after surgery.
Results: PC-MRI showed a strong positive correlation between the flow rate and the third power of vessel diameter in both healthy volunteers (r = 0.82, P < 0.0001) and IA patients (r = 0.90, P < 0.0001), indicating the constant WSS. Of the 18 arteries in 5 patients, WSS increased in 7 arteries and decreased in 11 arteries immediately after surgery. In the WSS-increased group, WSS returned to the preoperative value in the third postoperative month. In the WSS-decreased group, WSS increased in the 12th month, but did not return to the preoperative level.
Conclusions: In a physiological state, WSS was constant in intracranial arteries. Changed WSS after bypass surgery tended to return to the preoperative value, suggesting that vessel diameter and flow rate might be controlled so that WSS remains constant.

Introduction: Long-term data indicate that patients who underwent metabolic bariatric surgery have a higher risk of developing nutritional complications. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to monitor their nutritional status.
Methods: A scoping literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and TRIP database to identify clinical practice guidelines for nutritional screening before and after metabolic bariatric surgery from learned societies.
Acute aortic dissection during minimally invasive cardiac surgery: a case report.

Background: Management of acute aortic dissection (AAD) caused by retrograde perfusion through the femoral artery during minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) remains controversial. We present a case of AAD occurring during the late cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) phase, which was successfully managed by vascular graft replacement, without altering the blood supply route.
Case Presentation: A 63-year-old man was scheduled for totally endoscopic aortic valve replacement.

Aims: Estimation of post-bariatric surgery weight loss is important for informed clinical decisions, yet existing predictive models lack accuracy and reliability. We assessed the effectiveness of the validated Stratification of Obesity Phenotypes to Optimize Future Therapy (SOPHIA) bariatric weight trajectory prediction tool in our patient population.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 178 adults who underwent bariatric surgery over a 3-year period.

Introduction: The present study aimed to assess the clinical outcomes of pediatric heart transplant patients whose donor hearts were preserved with the SherpaPakCardiac Transport System.
Methods: All pediatric patients undergoing heart transplantation at our center between January 2020 and June 2024 were included and described. Vasoactive inotropic score (VIS) was calculated.
Association of a State-Wide Alternative Payment Model for Rural Hospitals With Bypass for Elective Surgeries.
Health Serv Res
January 2025
Department of Health Policy & Management, University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Objective: This study aimed to measure the changes in rural hospital bypass for 11 common elective surgeries following the implementation of the Pennsylvania Rural Health Model (PARHM), a global budget payment model.
Study Setting And Design: We leveraged a natural experiment arising from the phase-in of PHARM in Pennsylvania. We conducted a comparative interrupted time series analysis to assess changes in rural hospital bypass, comparing trends in rural hospital bypass among patients in hospital service areas (HSAs) with PARHM-participating hospitals to patients in control HSAs with hospitals eligible for but not participating in PARHM.
