Totally endoscopic non-robotic excision of aortic valve fibroelastoma: a case report
Background Papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are a rare subtype of benign primary cardiac tumours, which are most commonly found on the aortic valve. Although median sternotomy is still used frequently there has been different attempts to remove the aortic

Outcome after heart-lung or lung transplantation in patients with Eisenmenger syndrome [PDF]
Objective: The optimal timing for transplantation is unclear in patients with Eisenmenger syndrome (ES). We investigated post-transplantation survival and transplantation-specific morbidity after heart-lung transplantation (HLTx) or lung transplantation (

BRD4770 functions as a novel ferroptosis inhibitor to protect against aortic dissection
Smooth muscle cell (SMC) loss is the characteristic feature in the pathogenesis of aortic dissection (AD), and ferroptosis is a novel iron-dependent regulated cell death driven by the excessive lipid peroxidation accumulation.

Deguelin attenuates reperfusion injury and improves outcome after orthotopic lung transplantation in the rat [PDF]
The main goal of adequate organ preservation is to avoid further cellular metabolism during the phase of ischemia. However, modern preservation solutions do rarely achieve this target.
