Aligning Orifice of the Renal Artery with Fish-Mouth FIXation Technique During Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair for Hostile Neck Anatomy.
Vasc Endovascular Surg
April 2023
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, The Heart Institute of Japan, 13131Tokyo Women's Medical University, Shinjuku-Ku, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- The success of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) heavily relies on how well the endograft attaches to the aortic wall, particularly in cases of challenging neck anatomy (HNA).
- The AORFIX technique effectively aligns the stent end with the renal artery's orifice, showing significant benefits, such as higher rates of renal angioplasty and stenting (88% vs. 4.6%) compared to the standard approach, without any deaths within 30 days.
- Despite facing more complex HNA criteria, both groups experienced 100% procedural success, suggesting that the AORFIX technique may be a viable option for patients with difficult neck anatomy in EVAR
Surgical Outcomes in Children With Partial and Transitional Atrioventricular Septal Defect.

July 2022
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, The Heart Institute of Japan, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of partial and transitional atrioventricular septal defect repair, focusing on left atrioventricular valve reoperation.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 104 children who underwent partial or transitional atrioventricular septal defect repair between August 1983 and January 2021. The major outcomes included patient survival and left atrioventricular valve reoperation.
Outcome of Pulmonary Autograft After the Ross Procedure.
World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg
July 2021
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, The Heart Institute of Japan, 13131Tokyo Women's Medical University, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: The purpose of this study was to assess autograft function after the Ross procedure and to review surgical outcomes associated with autograft reoperations.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients undergoing the Ross procedure since 1993. Autograft function and autograft reoperation were studied.
Bentall and redo-Konno Operation for an Adult With Aortic Paraprosthetic Leak and Root Aneurysm.
World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg
January 2021
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, 13131Tokyo Women's Medical University, Tokyo, Japan.
We report a case of Bentall and redo-Konno operation. A 39-year-old male with surgical history of Konno operation presented with hemolytic anemia and heart failure. Further evaluations revealed aortic paraprosthetic leak with moderate regurgitation, moderate biventricular outflow tract obstruction, and aortic root aneurysm.

Faculty of Advanced Techno-Surgery, Institute of Advanced Biomedical Engineering and Science, 13131Tokyo Women's Medical University, Japan.
Dural suturing in transsphenoidal surgery requires well-honed technical skills. We have developed a semiautomatic dural suturing device and confirmed its effectiveness by comparing it with the conventional method. This device significantly shortens the suturing time compared with the conventional method.

Department of Human Environmental Sciences, 12992Ochanomizu University, Tokyo, Japan.
Retention of surgical sponges in patients is a relatively frequent medical malpractice. To prevent it, the surgical sites are scanned using X-ray. However, using radiography in the operation room induces X-ray exposure for both patients and staff.

Institute of Advanced Biomedical Engineering and Science, 13131Tokyo Women's Medical University, Japan.
. Fouling of the endoscope lens is a major problem in endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). We examined whether the use of the intelligent arm support system (iArmS), a robotic armrest, could prolong endoscope lens-wiping intervals in ESS and thus allow for continuously clear endoscopic images.

November 2020
Department of Cardiology, The Heart Institute of Japan, 13131Tokyo Women's Medical University, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Controversy remains regarding the influence of lipid-lowering therapy on the eicosapentaenoic acid/arachidonic acid ratio.
Objective: This study aimed to clarify the effects of lipid-lowering therapy on the eicosapentaenoic acid/arachidonic acid ratio in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Methods: This was a post hoc sub-analysis of the Heart Institute of Japan-PRoper level of lipid-lowering with pitavastatin and ezetimibe in ACS study.
