Yellow fever vaccination and the thymus in adults with congenital heart disease.
Int J Cardiol Congenit Heart Dis
March 2024
Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Trust and Imperial College London, UK.
Aim: To highlight the potential lack of documentation of thymectomy on historic cardiac operation notes and how this impacts the safety of the yellow fever vaccination for patients who have had congenital heart surgery in childhood.
Background: With advances in treatment, the population of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) is ever growing. Consequently, increasing numbers of patients wish to travel and work abroad.

Article Synopsis
- Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune condition affecting muscle control, and this study investigates its relapse risk during pregnancy to enhance clinical outcomes.
- The study tracked 113 women with MG to identify factors influencing relapse and created a predictive model using data on relapse rates and treatments, revealing that a significant number of relapses occur particularly in the first trimester and postpartum.
- Key findings indicate that younger age at delivery, less time with stable MG, presence of thymic hyperplasia, and inadequate treatment during pregnancy elevate the risk of relapse, highlighting crucial periods and factors for patient monitoring.
Clinical application of standardization right thoracic incision for thoracoscopic thymic tumor resection.

November 2024
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Dehong People's Hospital, Affiliated Dehong Hospital of Kun Ming Medical University, No.13, Yonghan Street, Dehong, Yunnan, 678400, China.
Background: With the continuous development of minimally invasive thoracic surgery, thoracoscopic thymectomy has become a routine operation. This method, now widely recognized, better protects lung function, reduces intraoperative blood loss and pain, and shortens postoperative hospital stay. We now introduce a standardized right thoracic incision for thoracoscopic thymic tumor resection, which has achieved favorable clinical outcomes.

BMC Surg
November 2024
Department of Thoracic Surgery, Daping Hospital, Army Medical University, No. 10, Changjiang Route, Yuzhong District, Chongqing, 400042, China.
Background: Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) thymectomy has been increasingly performed for treating thymic epithelial tumors in recent years. However, there are very limited reports on the long-term oncologic outcomes after RATS thymectomy, particularly in comparison to Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). This study aimed to compare the perioperative and long-term oncological outcomes between RATS and VATS.
