Leucocyte-depleted Blood Cardioplegia
The effect of the depletion of leucocytes from cardioplegic and initial myocardial reperfusion blood on the inflammatory response and myocardial protection in patients with unstable angina undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was studied. Patients were allocated randomly to a leucocyte-depleted (LD) group or a control group.

Abstract Aims Heart–lung transplantation (HLTx) remains a life‐saving intervention for patients with end‐stage cardiopulmonary failure. We retrospectively analysed long‐term HLTx outcomes at our centre to assess survival trends and evaluate the impact of evolving immunosuppressive, surgical and perioperative strategies.

Perfluorocarbon‐based artificial oxygen carriers have long been of scientific interest for because they can be used as oxygen donors in medical applications. Lecithin‐modified nanoscale oxygen carriers (LENOX) are a newly designed nanoscaled emulsion based on perfluorodecalin, which is characterized by its compatibility with numerous clinically ...

ABSTRACT Anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) from the right coronary sinus with an interarterial course is a rare congenital variant associated with a high risk of myocardial ischemia and sudden cardiac death. We describe a 39‐year‐old man presenting with exertional chest pressure and dyspnea whose coronary CT angiography revealed ...

Chronic Traumatic Aortoventricular Fistula Following a Stab Injury: A Case Report
ABSTRACT An aorto‐cameral fistula (ACF) is a rare abnormal communication between the aorta and a cardiac chamber, often resulting from trauma, ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysms, infective endocarditis, aortic dissection, or iatrogenic causes. Clinical presentations vary from asymptomatic cases to severe hemodynamic compromise, including heart ...
