A 57-year-old man diagnosed with left anterior descending artery chronic total occlusion underwent rest gated 99mTc-MIBI scan showing moderately to markedly decreased perfusion with abnormal wall motion in the apex, anterior, anteroseptal, and apical anterolateral walls. 18F-FDG PET showed a "flip-flop" phenomenon with markedly increased FDG uptake in the hypoperfused regions and absent/markedly decreased uptake in the normally perfused, normokinetic myocardium, presumably due to the predominant use of free fatty acids under normoxic conditions. After coronary artery bypass grafting, left ventricular motion normalized except for surgery-related paradoxical septal motion and the left ventricular ejection fraction improved from 52% to 68%.

Background: The treatment procedure for intracapsular condylar fractures (ICF) is still being debated. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc is a key factor for treating ICF. The study aims to investigate the changes in TMJ disc status and condylar cartilage regeneration following ICF in a rabbit model, to assist in planning treatment.

We report a 75-year-old female with a history of two heart operations: aortic valve replacement (St. Jude Medical 21 mm) at the age of 44 years for severe rheumatic aortic stenosis and mitral valve replacement (Carbomedics 29 mm) at the age of 51 years for rheumatic mitral regurgitation. Decades later, she presented with exertional dyspnea.

Objective: Berry syndrome is a group of rare congenital cardiac malformations including aortopulmonary window (APW), aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery (AORPA), interruption of the aortic arch (IAA), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) (supplying the descending aorta) and intact ventricular septum. This paper will analyze the clinical data of 7 patients with Berry syndrome who underwent surgical treatment in our institution and discuss the one-stage surgical correction of Berry syndrome in combination with the literature.
Methods: From January 2013 to July 2024, a total of 7 children with Berry syndrome were admitted to the Cardiac Surgery Department of Beijing Children's Hospital.

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Kanazawa University, Takaramachi 13-1, Kanazawa, 920-8641, Japan.
Background: Acute type A aortic dissection (A-AAD) with severe acute aortic regurgitation (AR) and coronary involvement is a potentially fatal condition that causes left ventricular volume overload and catastrophic acute myocardial infarction. We present the successful management of a patient using Impella 5.5 following cardiopulmonary arrest caused by A-AAD with severe acute AR and left main trunk (LMT) obstruction.

Objective: To screen Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion Injury in mice. adenosine monophate-activatedprotein kinase (AMPK) -related differentially expressed circularRNA (circRNA) in MIRI model, Ampk-related circRNA network was drawn to provide possible ideas for the prevention and treatment of MIRI.
Methods: The mouse MIRI model was constructed by ligation of the left anterior descending artery.
