Aims: Brain injury occupies the predominant cause of neurological dysfunction and mortality after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) from cardiac arrest (CA). This study investigates the role and mechanism of Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) in post-cardiac arrest brain injury in rats.

Methods: All rats were subjected to asphyxial CA followed by CPR.

Aortic dissection (AoD) is a rare fatal condition in which tearing in the intima causes a false channel in the aorta and can lead to rupture. AoD is classified as the DeBakey classification (Types I, II, III) and Stanford classification (Types A and B). Women with underlying risk factors such as hypertension, smoking, bicuspid aortic valve, and connective tissue disorders are at risk for pregnancy-related AoD.

We present a case of severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) in a 21-month old female undergoing cardiac surgery for a ventricular septal defect and subaortic membrane excision. During the operation, a milky white supernatant was observed in the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit, prompting immediate lipid profile testing that revealed elevated triglycerides. The management involved maintaining anticoagulation with heparin dose-response testing and ensuring oxygenator function by measuring blood gas analysis, lactate, and arterial line pressure.

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.

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.
