In coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), the use of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) is considered the gold standard. The conventional technique of using electrocautery for LIMA harvesting is associated with adverse events. In this study, we used a different technique that combined carbon dioxide with electrocautery to harvest LIMA and compared it with the conventional electrocautery method.

Objectives: To retrospectively investigate the effect of a mobile app-based self-care diary, a nursing management method, on post-heart transplantation diabetes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the general data of 87 patients who underwent heart transplantation in the Cardiac and Thoracic Vascular Surgery Department of Nanjing First Hospital between January 2018 and December 2023. Based on the nursing method, the patients were divided into a control group that received routine nursing measures (n=47 cases) and an observation group that implemented a mobile APP-based self-care diary combined with nursing (n=40 cases).

Background: Posterior laminectomy is a standard treatment for thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum (TOLF), but it often leads to neurological deterioration during surgery. This study aimed to reduce iatrogenic neurological deterioration by using an S8 navigation system combined with an ultrasonic osteotome for three-dimensional real-time dynamic visualization decompression.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent laminectomy and internal fixation for TOLF in our centre from January 2016 to January 2023.

Purpose: This study evaluated the efficacy of adding budesonide to nebulized lidocaine in patients undergoing flexible bronchoscopy (FB) under topical anaesthesia.
Study Design: Patients aged ≥18 years, scheduled for FB under topical anaesthesia were randomized into two groups: the combination group received a pre-treatment of 2 ml 1 mg budesonide with 5 ml 2% lidocaine, whilst the lidocaine group received 5 ml 2% lidocaine with 2 ml saline solution, both administered via nebulization. Blood pressure (BP), heart rate, and percutaneous oxygen saturation were recorded before, during, and 10 min after FB.

Introduction: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) is important for enhanced recovery in cardiac surgery. However, the incidence of chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) is high and is associated with worsened quality of recovery and life, as well as raised short-term or long-term mortality. The mechanism is not clear, and there is still a lack of safe and effective preventive measures.
