The use of robots for surgery has already revolutionized the surgical landscape by providing high accuracy, greater surgeon dexterity, 3-dimensional visualization capabilities, and the potential for telesurgery. At the same time, diverse medical imaging modalities such as X-ray, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound can provide meaningful visual information required for pre- and intraoperative planning and guidance, which is particularly important for robotic surgery given the surgeon's limited direct view of the surgical workspace in minimally invasive procedures. This review provides an overview of robotics technology for surgery and image acquisition and describes the main steps involved in the processing of medical imaging and its use. The authors also share their views on what the future of robotics and imaging may look like for surgical applications given the recent advances in artificial intelligence, computer vision, and machine learning.","PeriodicalId":39207,"journal":{"name":"Methodist DeBakey cardiovascular journal","volume":"21 5","pages":"81-92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12513358/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145281352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Primary idiopathic chylopericardium (PIC) is even more uncommon, with limited cases reported in the literature. We report the case of a 43-year-old South Asian woman who presented with palpitations and fatigue. Echocardiography revealed a large pericardial effusion with signs of cardiac tamponade, necessitating emergent pericardiocentesis. The pericardial fluid aspirated was pinkish and turbid, which turned to milky white after centrifugation. Analysis of the pericardial fluid demonstrated a high triglyceride concentration, lymphocytic predominance, and fat globules, consistent with chylous effusion. A thorough diagnostic workup-including infectious, rheumatologic, and oncologic evaluations-was unrevealing, confirming a diagnosis of PIC. Lymphoscintigraphy was misleading in this case, with no thoracic duct abnormalities reported. Following an initial response to conservative management with pericardiocentesis and a medium-chain triglyceride-rich diet, the patient experienced recurrence of symptoms and fluid reaccumulation. Definitive management via thoracic duct ligation and pericardial window surgery was performed, resulting in complete resolution of the effusion. At 6-month follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic with no evidence of recurrence. This case highlights the importance of considering primary CP in the differential diagnosis of pericardial effusion. Absence of classical inflammatory signs and symptoms can be suggestive of chylous effusion. The report also supports surgical intervention as a definitive treatment even if lymphoscintigraphy does not reveal clear thoracic duct pathology.","PeriodicalId":39207,"journal":{"name":"Methodist DeBakey cardiovascular journal","volume":"21 1","pages":"84-89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12372655/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144973102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aberrant right subclavian arteries are found in approximately 0.5% to 2% of the population while aberrant left subclavian arteries are less common, occurring in only 0.04% to 0.4%. KD is associated with aberrant subclavian arteries in 60% to 82% of cases. It is often identified incidentally during imaging studies performed for unrelated reasons, which contributes to the limited understanding of its natural progression. However, KD carries significant risks, including a 53% chance of aneurysm rupture and a 19% incidence of aortic dissection. As a result, surgical management is generally recommended. Although no standardized treatment exists, options include thoracic endovascular aortic repair, hybrid procedures, and open repair. Intervention is typically advised when the orifice diameter exceeds 3 cm and depth exceeds 5 cm due to elevated rupture risk. We present a case of incidentally detected KD originating from a right aortic arch with an aberrant left subclavian artery.","PeriodicalId":39207,"journal":{"name":"Methodist DeBakey cardiovascular journal","volume":"21 1","pages":"81-83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12372654/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144973025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients with WPW are at an increased risk of developing AF, with a prevalence of up to 30%. Despite successful ablation of the AP, AF recurrence remains a challenge, particularly in older patients or those with a history of AF. Concomitant pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) may help reduce the risk of recurrence by targeting atrial remodeling and pulmonary vein involvement in AF. This case describes a 70-year-old male with WPW and AF who underwent a combined PVI and AP ablation procedure. The patient remained free of AF post-procedure, suggesting that this approach may be effective in high-risk patients. Further randomized controlled trials are necessary to evaluate the efficacy of this combined approach in reducing AF recurrence compared to AP ablation alone, especially in older patients.","PeriodicalId":39207,"journal":{"name":"Methodist DeBakey cardiovascular journal","volume":"21 1","pages":"74-80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12372653/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144972951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies demonstrate a disproportionate overutilization of preoperative diagnostic testing with a concurrent underutilization of interventions that have been shown to meaningfully modify mortality. Consequently, there has been a paradigm shift in the approach to perioperative testing. Current thinking advocates for a more judicious and individualized approach-that is, reserving noninvasive testing for select cases at highest risk of periprocedural cardiovascular events, where it may more effectively alter management. Thus, this review provides an update of the latest evidence-based recommendations on preoperative diagnostic assessment of patients with cardiovascular risk factors undergoing NCS, proposes a framework that can be referenced when approaching such a patient in clinical practice, and highlights areas that need more data to guide decision-making in clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":39207,"journal":{"name":"Methodist DeBakey cardiovascular journal","volume":"21 4","pages":"87-100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12352404/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144875781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
