Hemolytic anemia caused by kinked graft 6 months after aortic dissection repair
Clinically insignificant hemolytic anemia is occasionally a complication of prosthetic valve replacement. However, hemolysis related to kinked grafts is a very rare complication after central repair for acute … Read More
Is VATS approach suitable in re-operations for postoperative hemothorax after pulmonary resection? Data analysis in a big volume thoracic center
This study explored the safety and of feasibility of video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS) in re-operations for post-operative hemothorax.
Transcoronary sinus repair of a severely dilated and tortuous right coronary artery fistulized to coronary sinus complicated with tricuspid valve insufficiency
Right coronary artery (RCA) fistulized to the coronary sinus is rare condition in adult cardiac anomalies, and the management and operative indication are controversial.
A rare case of mediastinal mass with massive pleural effusion misdiagnosed as neurogenic tumor
Mediastinal cavernous hemangiomas are extremely rare vascular tumors. To the best of our knowledge less than 20 cases of posterior mediastinal hemangioma have been reported in literature, and this is the first… Read More
