A review of nomenclature in minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting-the anarchy of terminology.
Interdiscip Cardiovasc Thorac Surg
December 2024
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Catharina Hospital, Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
Objectives: Since the development of minimally invasive coronary surgery, nomenclature has rapidly grown to distinguish each unique method. The goal of this review was to provide a comprehensive overview of the different terms used for minimally invasive coronary bypass grafting through the years.
Methods: A literature search was performed in August 2024 using the PubMed electronic database.
Guidelines for assessing ventricular pressure-volume relationships in rodents.
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol
January 2025
Department of Cellular & Physiological Sciences, University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- Ventricular catheterization using pressure-volume (PV) catheters is essential for accurately assessing heart function in animal studies, particularly for understanding cardiovascular disease in rats and mice.
- There is significant inconsistency in how these PV studies are conducted, including variations in protocols, data analysis, and reporting, which impacts the reliability of results.
- The manuscript aims to provide standardized guidelines for conducting, analyzing, and interpreting PV studies in rodents, enhancing best practices and improving reproducibility across the research field.
dP/dt: An underestimated prognostic factor in large animal infarction model.
Animal Model Exp Med
November 2024
Department of Cardiology, Kaposi Moritz Teaching Hospital, Kaposvár, Hungary.
The present study aims to establish a reproducible large animal experimental unit using a minipig model to monitor cardiac function changes. A 90-min closed-chest balloon occlusion of the left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery was used to induce myocardial infarction in Pannon minipigs. To monitor the cardiac function, measurements were made by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI), invasive pressure monitoring, and a Pulse index Continuous Cardiac Output (PiCCO) hemodynamic system at 0, 72, and 720 h during the follow-up period.

Department of Anesthesiology, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.
A 70-Year-Old Man With an Encapsulated Mediastinal Fluid Collection.
Chest
September 2024
Department of Esophageal Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- A 70-year-old man underwent surgery for mid-thoracic esophageal cancer but later developed complications related to his recovery, including dysphagia and infection.
- After experiencing a significant leakage from the neck incision and breathing difficulties, he required a second ICU stay where imaging revealed fluid buildup in the chest area.
- Eventually, despite improving overall health after draining the fluid, the patient continued to struggle with a non-healing cervical fistula and was transferred for further care with a chest drainage system still in place.
