Congenital Quadricuspid Aortic Valve (QAV) malformation is a relatively rare cardiac valve malformation, especially with abnormal coronary opening and severe stenosis of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). The pati...
Bentall surgery is the main method for treating aortic root lesions, but traditional Bentall method is very difficult for patients with mild aortic sinus dilation to directly anastomose the coronary artery ori...
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a serious, deadly disease with a high incidence. However, it remains unclear how necroptosis affects the pathophysiology of AMI. Using bioinformatic analyses, this study in...
Recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin (rTM) has recently been used as a promising therapeutic natural anti-coagulant drug for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Here we investigated the safety an...
Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction is the most important regulatory mechanism by which right-to-left shunts decrease during one-lung ventilation (OLV), but the effects of pulmonary microarterial thrombosis and...
Selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (sACP) is a crucial cerebral protection technique employed during aortic dissection surgeries involving cardiopulmonary bypass. However, postoperative neurological compli...
Some pulmonary tuberculosis patients may require lung resection surgery. Postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation is essential to restore the lung function and maintain quality of life. We aimed to study the pul...
Mega-aortic syndrome including aortic arch and descending aortic aneurysm is a challenging surgical case. Because the aorta continuously dilates, creating the distal anastomosis sites becomes an issue. Despite...
