Objective: Congenital heart disease affects 1% of US births, with many babies requiring major cardiothoracic surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), exposing the more critical patients to neurodevelopmental impairment. Optimal surgical parameters to minimize neuronal injury are unknown. We used H MRS and blood ammonia assays in a neonatal pig model of CPB to compare two approaches, complete circulatory arrest (CA) versus antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP).

Objective: The optimal method for cerebral protection during aortic arch reconstruction in neonates and infants is unknown. We compare the outcomes of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and selective antegrade cerebral perfusion strategies in neonatal and infant cardiac surgery.
Methods: We retrospectively identified all patients aged less than 1 year who underwent aortic arch reconstruction from 2012 to 2023.

Purpose: To evaluate the surgical techniques used in the management of eyelid burns among pediatric patients below 18 years old, focusing on the timing of interventions and patient outcomes.
Methods: This systematic review was conducted in compliance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines. A comprehensive literature search was performed using PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science, targeting studies published between January 2000 and August 2024.

Objectives: Antegrade wiring (AW) is the most common coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) crossing strategy and usually relies upon stepwise guidewire escalation starting from the low tip-load polymer-jacketed wire (standard guidewire escalation). The authors aimed to investigate whether the upfront use of intermediate tip-load polymer-jacketed guidewire translates into improved procedural outcomes of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: The Gladius First trial was a single-center, investigator-initiated, randomized, prospective trial.

Background: The submental artery island flap (SIF) is a valid option for palatal reconstruction. However, the main limitation for its application for palatal defects is the arc of rotation. A novel modification for tunneling of the antegrade design of SIF that allows a compliant easy reach to the defect is described.
