Chylopericardium as a complication of cardiac surgery: Report of two cases and review of the literature [PDF]
Chylopericardium refers to existing communication between the pericardial sac and the thoracic duct carrying the chyle. The objective of our report was to highlight the specificity of diagnosis and treatment of this rare but tedious condition through the

Robotic Resection With Hyperthermic Intrathoracic Perfusion Chemotherapy for Thymoma Recurrence
Thymoma recurrence with pleural dissemination remains a therapeutic challenge, often requiring multimodal treatment strategies. Cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITHOC) has emerged as a promising approach for selected patients; however, reports using minimally invasive robotic platforms are limited.

Thymoma‐Associated Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Myasthenia Gravis
Thymomas, rare tumors originating from thymic epithelial cells, can disrupt immune tolerance and contribute to the development of autoimmune diseases. While thymomas are commonly associated with myasthenia gravis (MG), their link to autoimmune rheumatic diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is less frequently observed.

Severe Fibrosing Pleuritis Secondary to Chronic Chylothorax in a Domestic Cat
Fibrosing pleuritis is a serious respiratory complication associated with chronic inflammation of the pleura, which leads to pleural thickening, atelectasis, or pulmonary entrapment, and an unfavorable prognosis. In cats, it is rare and is mainly caused by chylothorax—an effusion that is particularly irritating to the thoracic cavity.

Cardiac decompression by pericardiectomy for constrictive pericarditis : multimodality imaging to identify patients at risk for prolonged inotropic support [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Post-pericardiectomy right ventricular (RV) failure has been reported but it remains not well-studied. To investigate imaging parameters that could predict RV function and the outcome of patients post-pericardiectomy.

This systematic review identified 24 clinical trials of medical device and surgical interventions for HFpEF, with 16 demonstrating at least safety and feasibility, but little evidence of long‐term benefit. Phenotype‐based responses suggest that certain interventions may benefit specific HFpEF subgroups, yet most trials suffered from heterogeneous ...
