Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive subtype of breast malignancy. Although some patients benefit from immune checkpoint therapy, current treatment methods rely mainly on chemotherapy. It is imperative to develop predictors of efficacy and identify individuals who will be sensitive to particular treatment regimens.

Predictive Factors of a Dominant Superficial Venous Drainage System in DIEP Flap Surgery With Preoperative Computed Tomography Angiography.

Microsurgery

January 2025

Service de Chirurgie Plastique, Hôpital Européen Georges Pompidou, Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris (APHP), Université Paris Descartes, Paris, France.

Background: Venous congestion due to superficial venous system dominance (SVD) in deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap surgery occurs in approximately 2% of cases, with attendant sequelae and increased cost to healthcare systems. This study aimed to describe the predictive factors for SVD in DIEP flap breast reconstruction based on preoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) findings.

Methods: All women who required takebacks for additional venous anastomosis to the cephalic vein because of SVD after DIEP flap breast reconstruction between 2015 and 2022 were included.

Background: Sometimes, the identification of ground-glass opacities (GGOs), small or deep pulmonary nodules can be difficult also in expert hands. Usually for these lesions pulmonary lobectomy is an overtreatment, so we developed a technique to identify easily these nodules. The objective of this research is to assess the effectiveness and safety of using preoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to guide the placement of micro-coils in the lung parenchyma near GGO and small lesions.

Background: Predicting respiratory complications after pulmonary surgery is important for thoracic surgeons. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between preoperative brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and postoperative respiratory complications (PRC).

Methods: A total of 383 patients with primary or metastatic lung cancer who underwent surgical resection were included in this retrospective study.

Combining cardiac and renal biomarkers to establish a clinical early prediction model for cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury: a prospective observational study.

J Thorac Dis

December 2024

Department of Intensive Care Unit of Cardiac Surgery, Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences), Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China.

Background: Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a prevalent complication with poor outcomes, and its early prediction remains a challenging task. Currently available biomarkers for acute kidney injury (AKI) include serum cystatin C (sCysC) and urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (uNAG). Widely used biomarkers for assessing cardiac function and injury are N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI).
