Background: Most patients with multiple myeloma (MM) are considered to be incurable, and relapse owing to minimal residual disease (MRD) is the main cause of death among these patients. Therefore, new technologies to assess deeper response are required.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 125 patients with MM who underwent high-dose melphalan plus autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) to detect MRD in autograft/bone marrow (BM) cells using a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based method and allele-specific oligonucleotide-polymerase chain reaction (ASO-PCR).

Background: Although repair of a supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) can be performed with low mortality rates, surgery for the complex form of SVAS continues to be associated with a high incidence of residual stenosis.

Case Presentation: The patient was referred to our hospital at 1 month of age and was diagnosed with aortic valve stenosis (AS) by using echocardiography. Cardiac catheterization revealed moderate AS, and subsequent left ventriculography revealed discrete stenosis of the sino-tubular junction and a narrowed proximal ascending aorta.

Article Synopsis
  • The paper discusses a successful single-stage heart surgery performed on a newborn girl with truncus arteriosus communis and interrupted aortic arch.
  • The diagnosis was confirmed using echocardiography and advanced imaging techniques like three-dimensional computed tomography.
  • A novel surgical approach, integrating the modified Lecompte maneuver with arch reconstruction through a procedure called the swing-back technique, was utilized for effective repair of the heart defects.
