Reoperations in cardiac surgery are very difficult and risky operations due to possible complications. A 35-week pregnant, 27-year-old woman patient presented to the cardiology department with palpitations. Control transthoracic echocardiography revealed a mass in the right atrium with dimensions of 24 × 25 mm. The patient had dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis, and had undergone a robotic atrial septal defect repair operation 1 year ago. Operation was planned for the patient with the joint decision of cardiology, obstetrics, pediatrics, anesthesia, and cardiovascular surgery departments. Redo robotic heart surgery was performed in beating heart after the operation of the cesarean, and the mass in the right atrium was successfully removed. In conclusion, as it is seen in our case, robotic cardiac surgery can be safely and successfully performed, and can minimize morbidity and mortality even in very complex clinical conditions such as pregnancy, dextrocardia, and reoperation.

Intrapericardial teratoma is a rare tumor that usually presents in neonates or during infancy because of the associated high degree of pericardial effusion, cardiac compression and severe respiratory distress. In this paper, we report a rare case of intrapericardial teratoma that was incidentally discovered in an infant with superior vena cava obstruction following pericardial effusion absorption. Echocardiography and thoracic computed tomography angiography revealed that the intrapericardial mass obviously suppressed the superior vena cava.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the major predictive factors associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation(PMV) following cardiac surgery.
Methods: This retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study was conducted from September 2021 to March 2022, involving 244 patients who underwent cardiac surgery. PMV was defined as mechanical ventilation for more than 24 h.

Introduction: Fibrotic cocktail (FC) is a combination of pro-fibrotic and pro-inflammatory mediators that induces early fibrotic changes in organotypic lung models. We hypothesised that transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) alone induces a pro-fibrotic effect similar to FC. Our aim was to compare the pro-fibrotic effects of TGF-β1 with FC in human precision-cut lung slices (PCLS).

Existing prognostic models are useful for estimating the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma patients, but there remains room for improvement. In the current study, we developed a deep learning model based on histopathological images to predict the recurrence risk of lung adenocarcinoma patients. The efficiency of the model was then evaluated in independent multicenter cohorts.
