Sarcomas represent the most common primary cardiac malignancy. A poor prognosis can be improved with multimodal management including aggressive surgical reconstruction in combination with neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy. We present the case of a primary cardiac sarcoma to describe our approach to a more radical right atrial and bicaval reconstruction.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the association between interatrial conduction block and postoperative atrial fibrillation, which can precipitate acute cardiopulmonary instability and is associated with subsequent heart failure, stroke, and mortality following cardiac surgery.
Methods: Perioperative 12-channel electrocardiograms from 3405 patients undergoing myocardial revascularization, valve surgery, aortic surgery, or combinations thereof, were considered. Clinical and electrographic parameters were compared between patients with and without atrial fibrillation, and significant variables were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression.

: Currently, the most popular techniques for orthotopic heart transplantation (OHTx) are bicaval and total OHTx. Although bicaval OHTx has shown advantages over the biatrial approach, comparisons between bicaval and total OHTx reain limited. To compare the functional and morphological characteristics of the left atrium (LA) in patients after bicaval and total OHTx.

Unlabelled: The modified bicaval anastomosis technique is an orthotopic heart transplantation technique that preserves the posterior wall of the right atrium as a bridging tissue, creating a dual structure of the recipient and donor hearts between the superior and inferior venae cavae. In this report, we present a case with unique electrophysiological findings following heart transplantation using this technique. The patient, who had persistent atrial fibrillation before the procedure, achieved a maintained sinus rhythm afterward.

Article Synopsis
- A 53-year-old heart transplant patient is being treated for atrial tachycardia through a procedure called ablation.
- The doctors find two different heart rhythms happening at the same time: a specific type of rapid heart rhythm (focal atrial tachycardia) in the donor atrium and irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation) in the recipient atrium.
- This combination of rhythms complicates the treatment process and indicates a need for careful management of the patient's heart issues.
