We report a case of a 21-year-old male with stage IIIB sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma who experienced atypical chest pain post-adjuvant chemotherapy with Capecitabine (5-FU prodrug). Evaluation revealed an unexpectedly detected interventricular septum hemangioma. Due to the vasospasm effect of chemotherapy presenting with semi-ischemia, conservative management was chosen for atypical presentation.

A patient with known pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum and ductal stent presented with low cardiac output and arrythmia. Intraoperatively, the patient was found to have an anomalous left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery. After reimplantation of the left coronary artery to the aortic root and placement of a central shunt, the patient progressed well and was discharged home.

Background: We have developed a new hybrid warp-knit fabric for induction of in situ tissue regeneration that has shown appropriate antideterioration properties and expandability in preclinical studies. This study was performed to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of this fabric in the early postoperative period after congenital cardiac surgery.

Methods: The fabric comprises biodegradable (complete degradation period, 2-3 years) and nonbiodegradable yarns coated with cross-linked gelatin.

Patients With Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome Have a Shorter Superior Vena Cava.

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep

September 2024

Biostatistics Unit, Department of Data Science, National Center for Child Health and Development, Tokyo, Japan.

Background: The primary treatment for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is the Fontan pathway, which entails performing the Glenn procedure. We hypothesized that the superior vena cava in patients with HLHS was short. As the length of the superior vena cava influences the Glenn procedure, we compared its length between patients with HLHS and those with other congenital heart diseases.

The surgical procedure detailed in this case report focuses on the treatment of a large cardiac hydatid cyst located in the intraventricular septum. The surgical intervention comprised a comprehensive approach involving a median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass. A localized mass below the tricuspid valve at the basal region of the interventricular septum was revealed.

Introduction: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum is a rare congenital cardiac lesion with significant anatomical heterogeneity. Surgical planning of borderline cases remains challenging and is primarily based on echocardiography. The aim was to identify echocardiographic parameters that correlate with surgical outcome and to develop a discriminatory calculator.
