A syphilitic aortitis is a late cardiovascular lesion of tertiary syphilis that has become exceptionally rare in the antibiotic era but not eradicated completely. Syphilitic aortitis of ascending aorta complicates in ascending aortic aneurysm formation and aortic valve regurgitation, both requiring surgical treatment. After surgery, lifelong surveillance of the remainder of the aorta is recommended because of a priori supposed high incidence of delayed involvement of noninvolved aortic segments.

Background: Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) is a new functional index to assess the functional significance of coronary stenosis. While whether there is an association between QFR and transit-time flow measurement (TTFM) parameters of the target coronary artery has not been well addressed.
Methods: A total of 89 patients receiving the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) grafts to the left anterior descending artery (LAD), and 19 patients undergoing the saphenous vein grafts (SVG) were enrolled in this retrospective study.

Aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular disease. Hereditary disorders are responsible for a small percentage of cases. Nonetheless, it is important to identify genetic causes, as they are often autosomal dominantly inherited and are of life-saving importance if we can identify persons at risk.

Background: Endovascular repair of type B aortic dissection (TBAD) with aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is challenging due to anatomical complexity. The embedded modular single-branched stent graft (EMSBSG) could solve this problem. However, the hemodynamic efficacy of this innovative technique has not been fully assessed.

Background: Increased life expectancy, developments in medicine and intracardiac devices, accessibility of cardiac surgery, decrease in the prevalence of rheumatic heart disease are changing infective endocarditis patient profile and thus risk factors for the adverse events. This single-center-based study covering the whole Latvian population aimed to assess the intrahospital and 3-year mortality of infective endocarditis patients who underwent cardiac surgery, as well as risk factors and laboratory indices predictive of adverse outcomes of the disease.
Methods: Clinical profiles, data of laboratory and instrumental analyses, operation and intensive care unit records of cardiac surgery patients treated in Pauls Stradins Clinical University Hospital, Riga, Latvia, between 2015 and 2019 were analyzed.

Background: Postmyocardial infarction intraventricular septal rupture is a life-threatening medical condition. Surgical management of postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defects (PIVSDs) is associated with a 60% mortality and a 40% incidence of residual ventricular septal defects (rVSDs). Our study aimed to describe our modification of the "Double-patch" technique of PIVSD repair without using a biological glue and present its postoperative complications and survival.

Introduction: The native pulmonary valve (PV) reconstruction is an attractive alternative to a replacement but is challenging due to the systematic underdevelopment of the valve structures in congenital heart diseases. The partial replacement of underdeveloped parts of the valve and saving of well-developed may have advantages versus replacing the whole valve in terms of durability and patient outgrowth of the prosthesis.
Case Presentation: This report describes a case of the PV reconstruction by allograft replacement of an underdeveloped anterior leaflet in an adolescent patient who previously corrected pulmonary stenosis during the first year of her life.

Background: The main treatment for a ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is surgical repair. Postoperative progression of aortic regurgitation (AR) following SVA repair increases the risk of reoperation, which decreases the long-term survival. Thus, identifying the risk factors for postoperative AR progression is of great significance.

Purpose: Aortic dissection (AD) is a catastrophic disease with complex hemodynamic conditions, however, understandings regarding its perfusion characteristics were not sufficient. In this study, a mock circulation loop (MCL) that integrated the Windkessel element and patient-specific silicone aortic phantoms was proposed to reproduce the aortic flow environment in vitro.
Materials And Methods: Patient-specific normal and dissected aortic phantoms with 12 branching vessels were established and embedded into this MCL.

The open ductus arteriosus (ODA) is the vessel through which the pathological communication between the aorta and the pulmonary artery persists after birth. Clinical manifestations depend on the size of the duct and the stage of hemodynamic disorders. The course of the defect varies from asymptomatic to extremely severe.

Background: Noninvasive monitoring of cryosurgery is important for performing precise monitoring of the freezing process in situ and evaluating postoperative effects after therapy. One potential approach is to monitor the normal and freeze-thawed tissues through ultrasonic backscattered signal processing.
Objective: A noninvasive method for cryosurgery monitoring based on the analysis of microstructural characteristics of in vitro porcine liver tissues at different state including normal and freeze-thawed tissues by estimating the center frequency of scatterers (CFS) using the autoregressive (AR) cepstrum of ultrasonic backscattered signals.

A 16-year-old female presented with left iliac fossa pain. In January 2021, she was admitted to her local hospital with severe lower abdominal pain and the pelvic ultrasound demonstrated a 13-cm left internal iliac artery dissecting aneurysm with its partial thrombosis. On examination, she had a high-arched palate, multiple skin stretch marks, flat feet and a soft systolic ejection murmur at the left 5th mid-clavicular line.

Objective: To investigate the effects of AMPKα1/Nrf2/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) pathway mediated by galantamine hydrobromide lycoremine (Gal) on endoplasmic reticulum stress apoptosis, myocardial apoptosis and fibrosis in rats with myocardial ischemia reperfusion (I/R).
Methods: A myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury rat model was established, and the rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: Control group, I/R model group, Gal 1 mg/kg group, Gal 2 mg/kg group and Gal 4 mg/kg group. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT), and left ventricular short-axis shortening rate (FS) were detected by doppler ultrasound.

: T-cadherin (T-cad) is one of the adiponectin receptors abundantly expressed in the heart and blood vessels. Experimental studies show that T-cad sequesters adiponectin in cardiovascular tissues and is critical for adiponectin-mediated cardio-protection. However, there are no data connecting cardiac T-cad levels with human chronic heart failure (HF).
