Medial Open-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy with Partial Meniscectomy and Without Cyst Excision for Popliteal Cysts: A Case Series.

Biomedicines

January 2025

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hallym Sacred Heart University Hospital, Hallym University, Anyang-si 13496, Republic of Korea.

Popliteal cysts (PCs) are occasionally accompanied by knee osteoarthritis (OA) and varus malalignment. However, whether concomitant arthroscopic excision of PCs with medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) improves the osteoarthritic environment remains unclear. Therefore, this study assessed serial changes in C-size, medial meniscus extrusion (MME), and cartilage status for up to 2 years following an MOWHTO.

The Ross procedure continues to be the best procedure to address unrepairable aortic valve pathology, especially in young adults. The Achilles heel of this procedure has been aortic root dilation and the potential need for a reoperation that may be associated with slightly increased risks in addition to the need for intervention on the pulmonary outflow tract. Modifying the Ross procedure by autograft inclusion inside a Dacron graft seems to have the potential advantage of stabilizing the autograft diameter, which may be associated with improved durability and decrease the need for future intervention.

Minimally invasive mitral valve replacement redo surgery under ventricular fibrillation in a patient with dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis: a case report.

J Cardiothorac Surg

January 2025

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, 79#, Qingchun Road, Hangzhou, 310003, China.

Background: Dextrocardia is a rare cardiac malposition where the heart's normal orientation is reversed and is most commonly associated with situs inversus totalis (SIT). Such cases are technically challenging when heart surgery is needed, especially re-do surgery.

Case Presentation: A 72-year-old female patient was referred to our hospital with complaints of chest tightness and reduced activity tolerance.

Surgical treatment of anomalous aortic origin of the coronary artery in paediatric patients: a Chinese single-center experience.

BMC Surg

January 2025

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Heart Center, School of Medicine, Shanghai Children's Medical Center, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shanghai, China.

Purpose: An anomalous aortic origin of the coronary artery (AAOCA) is a rare congenital heart disease. Some high-risk anatomical structures are at risk of inducing cardiogenic shock or even sudden death. This article summarizes our surgical experience with AAOCA in paediatric patients.

Background: Extensive surgical resection of the thoracic aorta in patients with type A aortic dissection (TAAD) is thought to reduce the risk of late aortic wall degeneration and the need for repeat aortic operations.

Objectives: We evaluated the early and late outcomes after aortic root replacement and supracoronary ascending aortic replacement in patients with TAAD involving the aortic root.

Design: Retrospective, multicenter cohort study.
