Zero‐Contrast Versus Contrast‐Guided Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion: A Comparative Analysis of Procedural and Long‐Term Outcomes

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Zero‐contrast left atrial appendage occlusion yielded high procedural success and similar periprocedural adverse event rates compared to the contrast‐guided approach. At 45‐day follow‐up, successful LAA closure (defined as peri‐device leak ≤ 5 mm) and device‐related thrombus rates were similar.

Minimally Invasive Procedure versus Conventional Redo Sternotomy for Mitral Valve Surgery in Patients with Previous Cardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Journal of Chest Surgery, 2023
Background: The heightened morbidity and mortality associated with repeat cardiac surgery are well documented. Redo median sternotomy (MS) and minimally invasive valve surgery are options for patients with prior cardiac surgery who require mitral valve

Left Internal Mammary Artery Injury After Pacemaker Lead Implant—Case Report and Review of Literature

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We hereby report a case of a 75‐year‐old patient who developed a large left‐sided hemopneumothorax after a routine dual‐chamber pacemaker insertion. The rare complication was caused by the pacing lead injuring the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) after perforating the right ventricle.

Preclinical 1H MRS Study of a Porcine Model Shows Evidence and Mechanisms for Acute Neuronal Injury in Neonatal Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) Surgery

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 2, Page 557-567, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose Congenital heart disease affects 1% of US births, with some infants requiring cardiothoracic surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Optimal surgical parameters to minimize neuronal injury are unknown. We used serial 1H MRS in a neonatal CPB porcine model to assess acute neuronal damage and associated injury mechanisms.

Submammary incision as right minithoracotomy approach with intercostal nerve exclusion and blockage technique: A comparative study in the young Indian female population undergoing mitral valve replacement

Heart India, 2016
Objective: This study compares the quality of mitral valve (MV) replacement performed through a submammary right thoracotomy incision with nerve sparing opening and closure to the standard midline sternotomy procedure.

An Asymptomatic Case of Type B Aortic Dissection Developing Type A Dissection During Interfacility Transfer: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Total arch replacement using a frozen elephant trunk for retrograde type A aortic dissection was effective in excising the intimal tear located in the proximal descending aorta. ABSTRACT During the transfer from a hospital to a tertiary hospital, patients with acute aortic dissection can deteriorate due to aortic rupture or extension of the dissection.

Simultaneous Transvenous Lead Extraction and Intra‐Operative Epicardial Extravascular Defibrillator (EV‐ICD) Implantation During Tricuspid Valve Replacement

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Transvalvular device leads are undesirable following tricuspid valve replacement. Simultaneous lead extraction and intra‐operative EV‐ICD implantation can provide ongoing defibrillator therapy without crossing the prosthetic valve and may avoid the need for additional pacing hardware when atrioventricular conduction is preserved.
