Chest wall reconstruction using the pectoralis major flap with dual-partitioned partially cut ribs: A useful method for preventing deformation and preserving the strength of the donor site

JPRAS Open, 2015
In some cases, skeletal and soft issue elements are required for chest wall reconstruction. Although muscle flaps and ribs are commonly used for achieving ideal reconstruction, deformation and loss of bone strength are unavoidable in such cases.

Complex Reconstruction of a Massive Shoulder and Chest Wall Defect: De-Bone Appétit Flap

, 2010
We report the use of a fillet of upper arm pedicled flap, which has not been previously reported in the literature. The fillet of upper arm flap follows the principle of “spare parts” surgery, and can provide vascularized soft tissue coverage for defects

Multidisciplinary approach to chest wall resection and reconstruction for chest wall tumors, a single center experience

, 2017
Background: Chest wall resection and reconstruction (CWRR) is quite challenging in surgery, due to evolution in techniques. Neoplasms of the chest wall, primary or secondary, have been considered inoperable for a long time.

Association Between MRI‐Derived Right‐to‐Left Ventricular Volume Ratio and Regional Left Ventricular Myocardial Dysfunction in Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Right ventricular (RV) to left ventricular (LV) end‐diastolic volume ratio (RV/LV) is a validated marker of RV dilation in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), yet its impact on LV myocardial function and the underlying mediating pathway is incompletely characterized.

An innovative reconstruction of an enbloc resected composite giant chest and abdominal wall chondrosarcoma with 3D-composite mesh

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background Chest wall chondrosarcomas, although common, pose unique challenges due to their aggressive nature, rarity of abdominal wall involvement, and propensity for recurrence.

3D Printing a Clinically Available Solution From Plaster‐Based Positives in Superficial Radiation Therapy

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study compares two techniques for creating lead shielding masks to replace the current process for superficial/orthovoltage facial radiotherapy: Plaster Cast Positive Mould (PCPM), CT Scanned 3D Print (CT3DP), and Optical Scan 3D Print (OS3DP). CT3DP was found to be more accurate and preferred over OS3DP.

Reconstrução da parede torácica nos defeitos adquiridos

Revista do Colégio Brasileiro de Cirurgiões
Acquired chest wall defects present a challenging problem for thoracic surgeons. Many of such defects can be repaired with the use of local and regional musculocutaneous flaps, but larger defects compromising skeletal structure require increasingly ...

Mapping the Landscape of Over‐Scanning in CT Imaging: A Scoping Review

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Over‐scanning in CT is highly prevalent and contributes to unnecessary radiation exposure, with notable impact on radiosensitive organs. Standardised protocols and AI‐assisted planning show strong potential to optimise scan range and reduce excess dose.

A novel approach to pediatric chest wall reconstruction using a 3D-printed biodynamic prosthesis: A case report

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports
Introduction: Chest wall reconstruction in children continues to be a challenging undertaking, aiming to restore both form and function. An optimal chest wall reconstruction material has not been identified that would provide dynamic chest function and ...
