Background: The role of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in the treatment of left ventricular thrombus (LVT) after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains uncertain.

Aims: We aimed to compare the effect of rivaroxaban versus warfarin in patients with STEMI complicated by LVT.

Methods: Adult patients with STEMI and two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography showing LVT were assigned to rivaroxaban (15 mg once daily) or warfarin (international normalised ratio goal of 2.

Mandibular tongue-shaped flap reconstruction for lip defects following lip tumor surgery.

J Craniomaxillofac Surg

December 2024

Department of Dermatology, Second Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun, China. Electronic address:

Lip defects due to lip tumor surgery need proper reconstruction to preserve their function. Traditional methods offer various options for lip repair, but each has limitations, and can lead to deformity, asymmetry, or functional impairment. This study aimed to investigate the clinical application of mandibular tongue-shaped flap reconstruction for postoperative defects following lip tumor surgery.

Introduction: The current gold standard treatment for patients with orofacial clefts is surgical repair of the palatal defect (uranostaphylorrhaphy), which is associated with growth defects and hypoplasia of the maxillofacial structures. This trial aims to evaluate the potential of a bioengineered artificial palate mucosa, created through tissue engineering with autologous stromal and epithelial cells and nanostructured fibrin-agarose biomaterials, to enhance treatment outcomes for patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate.

Methods And Analysis: This phase I-IIa clinical trial aims to evaluate the feasibility and biosafety of a procedure involving grafting bioartificial palate mucosa onto the areas of denudated bone in patients undergoing uranostaphylorrhaphy.

Background: Many repair techniques have been recommended to treat lower lip defects. Although effective in many instances, some techniques are accompanied by complications, such as flap necrosis, dysesthesia of the lip, lip flattening, shortening, and loss of the vermillion roll. This study aimed to report the use of keystone design perforator island flap (KDPIF) in small to medium defects to achieve an effective and functional reconstruction of vermillion defects after Mohs surgery for lip cancer.
