A surprise aberrant pulmonary vein [PDF]
We report an incidental discovery of the superior pulmonary vein coming from a strange anatomical location when performing a robotic left lower lobectomy. When trying to identify the superior pulmonary vein, an aberrant pulmonary vein was found leading into the innominate vein.

Ablation of pulmonary veins has emerged as a key procedure for normal rhythm restoration in atrial fibrillation patients. However, up to half of ablated Atrial fibrillation (AF) patients suffer recurrences during the first year.

What every ICU clinician needs to know about the cardiovascular effects caused by abdominal hypertension [PDF]
The effects of increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) on cardiovascular function are well recognized and include a combined negative effect on preload, afterload and contractility.

The anatomy of interatrial communications - what does the interventionist need to know? [PDF]
Increasingly, the interventional cardiologist is seeking to close interatrial communications by inserting devices by means of catheterisation. So as to optimise these procedures, it is adavantageous to have a firm grasp of the anatomy of the normal ...

Spontaneous and induced pulmonary vein tachycardia after pulmonary vein isolation [PDF]
A case is reported of recurrence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after pulmonary vein ablation. A second procedure achieved isolation of three pulmonary veins and showed persistence of pulmonary vein tachycardia in one with implications concerning the electrophysiology of atrial fibrillation.

Role of MDCT in evaluation of congenital and acquired anomalies of pulmonary venous drainage
Objective: This work aimed for detection of different congenital and acquired abnormalities affecting the pulmonary veins using multislice computed tomography (MSCT). Patients and methods: This study was carried on 74 patients.

In vivo dose measurement using TLDs and MOSFET dosimeters for cardiac radiosurgery. [PDF]
In vivo measurements were made of the dose delivered to animal models in an effort to develop a method for treating cardiac arrhythmia using radiation. This treatment would replace RF energy (currently used to create cardiac scar) with ionizing radiation.

YAP1::TFE3 mediates endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal plasticity in epithelioid hemangioendothelioma
The YAP1::TFE3 fusion protein drives endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EndMT) plasticity, resulting in the loss of endothelial characteristics and gain of mesenchymal‐like properties, including resistance to anoikis, increased migratory capacity, and loss of contact growth inhibition in endothelial cells.

Reoperations after the correction of partial abnormal venous return: a clinical case series
Rationale: The surgical procedure for partial abnormal pulmonary venous return (PAPV) implies the formation of a tunnel between the orifices of the right pulmonary veins and the left atrial cavity with the interatrial septum repair.
