Objective: to analyze the evidence available in the literature about the lowest necessary dose of heparin to maintain the patency of the totally implanted central venous catheter in adult cancer patients.
Method: an integrative literature review, carried out in the following databases: Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências de Saúde, Sciverse Scopus, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, including thirteen studies.
Results: the evidence showed that the dose of heparin (300 IU/ml) is the most used in maintaining the patency of the totally implanted central venous catheter.
Conclusion: according to the selected studies, the lowest dose of heparin found in maintaining the patency of the totally implanted central venous catheter in cancer patients was 10 UN/ml with a volume of 5 ml of the heparin solution.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of two decades of reported outcomes for robotic coronary artery bypass grafting.

Background: Despite the well-documented safety and feasibility of robotic coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), widespread adoption of this approach remains limited by its steep learning curve, high procedural costs and paucity of data on longer-term efficacy. This current meta-analysis aims to provide a systematic overview of the outcomes of robot-assisted CABG, with a focus on long term graft patency and freedom from major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE).
Methods: A systematic literature search of three electronic databases was conducted for studies reporting outcomes of robotic-assisted CABG, and were grouped based on whether patients underwent robot-assisted minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (RA-MIDCAB), totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) or were mixed.
Bilateral internal thoracic artery grafting in robotic beating-heart totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass: 10-year outcomes.

Background: Multi-arterial grafting (MAG) with bilateral internal thoracic arteries (BITAs) is superior to single internal thoracic artery (ITA) and veins, however, sternal wound infection (SWI) is a deterrent to using BITA, especially in diabetic and obese patients. Sternal-sparing approaches, including robotic totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB), may mitigate this risk. We reviewed outcomes of robotic TECAB with BITA grafting.

To evaluate the prevalence, intervention methods and effect of arteriovenous graft (AVG) stenosis. The clinical data of patients who received AVG in the Blood Purification Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patency rate, prevalence and intervention effect of AVG stenosis were analyzed.

Objective: Robotic beating-heart totally endoscopic coronary bypass (TECAB) is performed using single or bilateral internal thoracic arteries with good results. Despite slow adoption and limited industry support, we have evolved our practice and continue to routinely perform TECAB. We describe our series of 874 patients undergoing robotic beating-heart TECAB with up to 10-year follow-up.

Background: Pediatric inguinal hernia repair (IHR) is a common cause of obstructive azoospermia (OA). Yet, the surgical treatment for this kind of OA remains difficult with poor fertility outcome.
Objectives: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of totally extraperitoneal laparoscopy-assisted microsurgical vasovasostomy (VV) in the treatment of OA caused by pediatric bilateral IHR.
