Association between white blood cell count and coronary artery bypass graft failure: an individual patient data analysis of clinical trials
Baseline systemic inflammation is associated with worse long-term outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG], but the mechanisms of this association are unclear. This study aims to explore the assoc… Read More
Remaining of contrast dye ice cap during PVI by cryoballoon ablation; a case report
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with cryoballoon (CB) ablation technology is widely used to treat drug-resistant atrial fibrillation (AF). During CB ablation, there is a possibility of forming an ice cap of con… Read More
Rapid growth of a solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura after slow long-term progression: a case report
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) of the pleura are usually benign. We present a case of SFT of the pleura which grew rapidly after slow long-term progression.
Electrocoagulation-free strategy in minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass with hybrid revascularisation – a case report
Hybrid coronary revascularisation benefits patients with multivessel disease, as it amalgamates the minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) procedure and percutaneous coronary intervention (P… Read More
Direct-acting oral anticoagulant removal by intraoperative hemoadsorption in CABG and/or single valve surgery: interim analysis of the International Safe and Timely Antithrombotic Removal (STAR) registry
Patients on direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are at high risk of perioperative bleeding complications. Intraoperative hemoadsorption is a novel strategy to reduce perioperative bleeding in patients on… Read More

Rivaroxaban versus low molecular weight heparin for managing lower extremity deep vein thrombosis following thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery: a randomized controlled trial
To assess the effectiveness and safety profiles of rivaroxaban compared to low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in managing lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) subsequent to thoracoscopic lung cancer sur… Read More
The correlation between miR-21 single nucleotide polymorphisms and the susceptibility of non-small cell lung cancer
There are still gaps in the study of the miRNA and its SNPs in some diseases such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study aimed to provide useful information on the treatment of NSCLC by investigating… Read More
Accuracy of Freestyle Libre continuous glucose monitoring system in critically ill patients after cardiac surgery
Hyperglycemia is an independent risk factor for perioperative complications and mortality after cardiac surgery. Freestyle Libre Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) is an interstitial glucose monitoring system, w… Read More
