Though initially described in 1971 by Van Praagh, transposition of great arteries with posterior aorta is rarely reported in last two decades. Since the arrangement of great arteries appears like normally related great arteries, a careful echocardiographic evaluation is necessary in patients with clinical features of transposition of great arteries. In majority of cases with this anatomy, arterial switch operation can be performed without the need of Le Compte manoeuvre.

Objective: The impact of great saphenous vein harvest technique on infrainguinal bypass outcomes remains a matter of debate, with no robust evidence favoring a specific technique over the other. This study aims to compare the outcomes of open vein harvest with endoscopic vein harvest in patients undergoing infrainguinal bypass surgery.

Methods: Patients who underwent an infrainguinal bypass from a femoral origin using a single-segment great saphenous vein between 2011 and 2023 were identified in the Vascular Quality Initiative infrainguinal bypass module.

Background: Because of the limitations in new-generation drug-eluting stents (DES), treatments advocating for non-stents with a drug-coated balloon (DCB) is now of great interest. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis to testify whether a DCB was more effective and safer than a DES in treating de novo coronary artery disease (CAD).

Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science to obtain high-quality trials comparing DCB with DES for the treatment of de novo CAD.

Penile Reconstruction with Radial Forearm Free Flap-Present State of the Art.

Indian J Plast Surg

December 2024

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Amrita Hospital, Faridabad, Haryana, India.

 Patients with congenital or acquired penile defects face significant psychological trauma. Various methods for penile reconstruction have been described of which the free radial artery forearm flap using the tube-within-tube design is found to be the most commonly used. We have assimilated the best practices described at different times in our bid to standardize the technique and have strived to make it reproducible.

: While it is generally assumed that common neurobehavioral assessments, such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV), function similarly in clinical and non-clinical populations, this has not been validated in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). In this study, we examined the latent factor structure of the WAIS-IV in adults with d-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) who participated in the Boston Circulatory Arrest Study. : The WAIS-IV was administered as part of a larger assessment battery.
