Background: Testicular seminoma is the most common malignant tumor of the testis. It occurs at a rate of 5 per 100 000 men, primarily between the ages of 15 to 34. While seminomas typically occur in the testis, other primary sites include the mediastinum, the retroperitoneum, or other extra-gonadal sites.

Current cardiac surgery has evolved to include hybrid and minimally invasive settings. In parallel, less invasive techniques have been extended to complex clinical scenarios and may prove even more beneficial in higher-risk patients. However, comorbidities and challenging anatomy still represent limitations to widespread application of this philosophy.

Scimitar syndrome is a rare condition described by unique anatomic features that consist mainly of an abnormal connection of the right pulmonary veins to the inferior vena cava and right atrial junction, as well as an anomalous systemic arterial supply to the right lung. We present the case of a 60-year-old man with an atypical variant of scimitar syndrome that was embryologically perplexing and anatomically challenging to correct. We highlight key surgical and procedural considerations for a patient with scimitar syndrome presenting with this complex surgical anatomy.

Background: The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing resection in the setting of lung cancer represents a major challenge to improving postoperative outcomes. The Caprini risk assessment model has been validated in general surgery to determine a role for extended chemoprophylaxis to reduce VTE events. Our goal was to simplify this burdensome model for the unique needs of this thoracic surgical population to better guide anticoagulation decision-making.

Venobronchial fistula (VBF) is a rare complication of central venous access. We describe a 30-year-old woman with VBF associated with a tunneled venous catheter. She presented with a drowning sensation associated with infusions.
