The deepest portion was anastomosed using continuous sutures; interrupted sutures were used for the more superficial portions. The truncus intermedius and right middle lobe bronchus should be anastomosed in a natural position. Anastomosis patency was confirmed using intraoperative bronchoscopy. Separation of the right upper and middle lobes and pericardiotomy at the inferior edge of the superior pulmonary vein are useful for mobilizing the right middle lobe.

We designed a C-shaped nickel-titanium alloy exterior stent and successfully fixed it using robotic assistance. This intervention effectively restored tracheal function and led to a favorable postoperative recovery. The technique does not affect tracheal membrane function or airway mucociliary clearance.

Among the short-term outcomes, the older donor group demonstrated no significant difference from the young donor group in primary graft dysfunction within 72 hours, use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, length of ventilator use, and intensive care unit hours. However, a longer hospital stay was associated with the older donor group. In terms of long-term outcomes, no difference was found between the two groups in 1-year OS, 3-year OS, and 5-year OS. Notably, patients with older donors exhibited a superior 5-year CLAD-free survival.Conclusions: The results of this meta-analysis indicate that older donors are not inferior to younger donors in terms of long-term and short-term recipient outcomes.

Successful lysis (grade II and grade III lysis) was achieved in all patients with PMT. Four (33%) patients had residual venous occlusion over the popliteal vein.

We enrolled 50 patients who underwent bullectomy for PSP.Results: After excluding 11 patients who canceled the postoperative CT examination at 6 months after bullectomy, only 39 patients were analyzed. The incidence of NOB at 6, 12, and 24 months after bullectomy was 38.5%, 55.2%, and 71.2%, respectively. The rate of NOB in the operated lung was almost 2 times higher than that in the contralateral nonoperative lung. Male sex, multiple bullae on preoperative CT, long stapling line (≥7 cm), deep stapling depth (≥1.5 cm), and heavier resected sample (≥5 g) were suggested to be risk factors for NOB.Conclusions: We recognized a high incidence of postoperative NOB in PSP patients.

However, additional procedures for systolic anterior motion involving mitral valve leaflet suturing and resection may lead to future valve disease. Therefore, we adopted posterior papillary muscle suspension, a subvalvular procedure for functional mitral regurgitation, to treat systolic anterior motion without directly intervening in the mitral valve leaflets. Papillary muscle suspension toward the posterior mitral annulus moved the papillary muscles away from the interventricular septum and successfully eliminated the systolic anterior motion and midventricular pressure gradient. In terms of avoiding direct mitral interventions, this procedure is a viable option for systolic anterior motion, especially in cases of very mild mitral regurgitation.","PeriodicalId":93877,"journal":{"name":"Annals of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery : official journal of the Association of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons of Asia","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10902854/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139725362","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}

This study aims to analyze our series of PTEs that require ECMO.Methods: A descriptive and retrospective analysis of all PTE performed at the Favaloro Foundation University Hospital was conducted between March 2013 and December 2023.Results: A total of 42 patients underwent PTE with a median age of 47 years (interquartile range: 26-76). The incidence of patients with ECMO was 26.6%, of which 53.6% were veno-venous (VV) ECMO.
