Enhancing Surgical Decision‐Making for Infected Cardiac Device Lead Removal With 18F‐FDG PET/CT: A Case Study and Literature Analysis

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Residual implantable cardiac electronic device (ICED) leads pose a significant infection risk, necessitating a multimodal diagnostic and therapeutic approach. This case highlights the critical role of PET/CT imaging in guiding surgical decision‐making, particularly in cases of chronic infections with embedded or fractured lead fragments. While

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery versus Conventional Median Sternotomy for Atrial Septal Defect Closure

The Korean journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2016
Background Median sternotomy is the standard approach for atrial septal defect (ASD) closure. However, minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) has been introduced at many centers in adult/grown-up congenital heart patients.

Neoadjuvant Glucocorticoids Facilitate Resection in Advanced B‐Type Thymomas: A Propensity‐Matched Analysis of Surgical and Survival Outcomes

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
Neoadjuvant glucocorticoids facilitated less invasive and more complete resection of advanced B‐type thymomas, leading to reduced operative morbidity and improved progression‐free survival compared to upfront surgery. This study supports a novel downstaging strategy for this challenging disease.

Enhancing recovery and outcomes of sternal closure in cardiac surgery: Early results of a 400-patient comparison of suture tapes and steel wiresCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Techniques
Background: Conventional steel wires may be inadequate for patients at high risk of sternal complications. We compared steel wires with a novel sternal closure system involving suture tapes, aiming to reduce sternal complications and enhance ...

Creation of ventricular septal defects on the beating heart in a new pig model [PDF]

, 2008
Background/ Aims: So far, surgical and interventional therapies for muscular ventricular septal defects ( mVSDs) beyond the moderator band have had their limitations. Thus, alternative therapeutic strategies should be developed.

Brachial plexus injury following median sternotomy

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1980
Brachial plexus injuries are annoyingly common after median sternotomies and vary from those causing minor symptoms to those producing major disability. We compared two groups of patients operated upon with the arms either abducted to a 90 degree angle or at the sides and found no difference in the incidence of brachial plexus injury.
