During the surgery, the malfunctioning aortic valve is replaced with the patients own healthy pulmonary valvea technique called an autograftand the pulmonary valve replaced with donor tissue. Three patients underwent the Ross-Konno procedure, in which the left-sided outflow root is enlarged to fit the pulmonary autograft.
In our study, we aim to explore the structural differences between the aortic root and the pulmonary artery to better understand the process of pulmonary autograft dilatation during the Ross procedure.
While the role of low-dose computed tomography (CT) in lung cancer screening is established, its limitations in detailing pulmonary vascular variations are less emphasized. Three-dimensional reconstruction tec.

An anomalous origin of the pulmonary artery (AOPA) from the ascending aorta is a relatively rare but important cardiac malformation that frequently involves the right pulmonary artery (RPA). Its clinical manif.
This unique surgery relies on a patient’s own existing tissue, the pulmonary valve, to replace the aortic valve rather than using an artificial valve. The Ross procedure is only performed by a handful of skilled, board-certified cardiothoracic surgeons nationwide who are trained in this highly… Source
Although pulmonary artery banding (PAB) has been generally acknowledged as an initial palliative treatment for patients having single ventricle (SV) physiology and unrestrictive pulmonary blood flow (UPBF), it.

Pulmonary embolism (PE), a form of venous thromboembolism, is a frequently observed complication in malignancies, with a notably high incidence in individuals with lung cancer. The presence of PE markedly redu.
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare congenital heart disease characterized by the inability of all pulmonary veins to connect to the left atrium. Our previous bibliometric article sum.
Surgical pulmonary artery thrombectomy is a well-established emergency treatment for massive pulmonary embolism (PE) in which fibrinolysis or thrombolysis are not effective. However, surgery for massive PE tha.

The Modified Inflation-Deflation Method (MIDM) is widely used in China in pulmonary segmentectomies. We optimized the procedure, which was named as Blood Flow Blocking Method (BFBM), also known as No-Waiting.
This study presents a case of PDA-associated paradoxical embolism with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and pulmonary emboli. Although rare, paradoxical embolism sometimes occurs with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).
Several studies to date have reported on the development of positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT)-based models intended to effectively distinguish between benign and malignant pulmonary n.
Traumatic pulmonary pseudocyst is a rare “cystlike” lung lesion that typically develops following blunt chest trauma. It differs from lung cancer associated with cystic airspaces in terms of pathogenic mechani.
Patients with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect (PA/VSD) are prone to progressive aortic dilation. However, there are relatively few reports of progressive development of aortic aneurysm or aorti.
In VATS surgery, precise preoperative localization is particularly crucial when dealing with small-diameter pulmonary nodules located deep within the lung parenchyma. The purpose of this study was to compare t.
Lung transplantation has become the definitive treatment for end stage respiratory disease. Numbers and survival rates have increased over the past decade, with transplant recipients living longer and with gre.
The left partial anomalous pulmonary vein connection is a rare congenital heart disease, especially with intact atrial septum. Now we reported a case of the left superior pulmonary vein drainage to left innomi.
Pulmonary regurgitation (PR) remains a common sequela in patients following surgically corrected TOF, and may lead to progressive right ventricle dilatation and dysfunction. The conventional approach of redo-s.

Traumatic Pulmonary Hematoma (TPH) is a rare consequence of blunt chest trauma, characterised by lung parenchyma laceration and subsequent hemorrhage. While less common than pulmonary contusions, TPH presents.
It is controversial whether pulmonary function testing should be performed routinely in cardiac surgery patients. The aim of our study was to focus on patients who have congestive heart failure, caused by left.
Objective This study aims to present the midterm outcomes of surgical correction of the anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA). Methods This is a retrospective study of patients undergoing anomalous origin of the LCA from the pulmonary artery repair between 2010 and 2019.
Spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma (SRH) is a rare complication of anticoagulation therapy. Presentation may vary from limb paresis to hypovolemic shock due to blood loss. The optimal treatment is controvers.
