Pulmonary venous admixture (Qsp/Qt) was analyzed as a function of fractional concentration of inspired O2 (FIO2) in 30 patients who required postoperative mechanical ventilation. Pulmonary and radial artery blood-gas tensions and pH were measured and Qsp/Qt was calculated with FIO2 ranging from 0.21 to 1. In all patients, Qsp/Qt decreased when FIO2 was increased from 0.21 to 0.4 and then stabilized to an FIO2 of approximately 0.6. As the FIO2 was increased to 1, Qsp/Qt increased. Since the inhalation of gas mixture with FIO2 greater than or equal to 0.6 increased right-to-left intrapulmonary shunting of blood, we recommend respiratory function be evaluated during inhalation of a clinically useful concentration of O2 rather than at an FIO2 of 1.

Background: The vertical vein (VV) ligation during the total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) correction is still controversial. Our study aimed to define the potential risk factors for VV persistence and their percutaneous occlusion.
Methods: The retrospective cohort study included 40 patients (26 males) with TAPVR treated at the tertiary referral center from 2005 to 2024.

Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema after cardiac surgery is a rare but severe complication. The etiology remains poorly understood; however, the issue may arise from multiple sources. Possible causes include a significant inflammatory response or an autoimmune process.

Background: Recent studies on bronchiectasis have revealed significant structural abnormalities and pathophysiological changes. However, there is limited research focused on pulmonary venous variability and congenital variation. Through our surgical observations, we noted that coarctation of pulmonary veins and atrophied lung volume are relatively common in bronchiectasis patients.
