Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Volume 44, Issue 6, Page 1085-1091, June 2025.Objectives Lung ultrasound (LU) is effective in diagnosing the accumulation of extravascular lung water and assessing real‐time fluid status in infants following congenital cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. This study evaluated whether LU can be used as a prognostic marker for changes in noninvasive respiratory support after extubation ...

Robotic Assisted Minimally Invasive Coronary Revascularisation: Midterm Results
The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery, Volume 21, Issue 3, June 2025.ABSTRACT Background Robotic assistance has many advantages in minimally invasive coronary bypass surgery, such as the harvest of a longer portion of the LIMA in addition to the avoidance of sternotomy, thus offering a less invasive approach for multivessel revascularisation.

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 29, Issue 11, June 2025.ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to determine the gene expression and protein levels of interleukin‐33 (IL‐33), fetuin A and cytokeratin 18 (CK‐18) in the pericardial fluid (PF) and plasma of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The CAD patients (mean age: 73.4 years) were enrolled. The IL‐33,
