Pericardial Decompression for Acute Traumatic Cardiac Tamponade—Pearls and Clamshells

Emergency Medicine Australasia, Volume 38, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Acute traumatic cardiac tamponade is a time‐critical—but potentially reversible—cause of circulatory collapse. The surgical, operative, nursing and anaesthesiology staff most capable and best trained to perform the procedure are often not immediately available, requiring emergency medical staff to perform this life‐saving intervention.

Clamshell and Hemiclamshell Incisions for Complex Intrathoracic Tumors: A Retrospective Analysis of Indications and Outcomes

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 17, Issue 16, August 2026.
This graphical abstract summarizes the indications and outcomes of clamshell and hemiclamshell incisions for the resection of intrathoracic tumors. The study provides an overview of tumor histology and anatomical location according to the incision type used. Despite differences in surgical approach, overall survival, and the incidence of cause‐specific

Impact of Gentamicin‐Impregnated Collagen Sponge on the Incidence of Access Related Infections After Full‐Support Microaxial Flow Pump Therapy

Artificial Organs, Volume 50, Issue 8, Page 1153-1163, August 2026.
Local application of gentamicin for wound closure after full‐support microaxial flow pump therapy. ABSTRACT Background Surgically implanted microaxial flow pumps (mAFP) are increasingly used for cardiogenic shock treatment. Standard mAFP explantation is performed bedside with a shortening of the vascular prosthesis, which may represent a potential ...

Comparison of Intraoperative Doppler Flow Measurements and Algorithmic Flow Estimations in Patients Undergoing Durable Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation

Artificial Organs, Volume 50, Issue 8, Page 1164-1169, August 2026.
Direct intraoperative HeartMate 3 LVAD flow measurements using an ultrasonic probe revealed consistently higher values by approximately 0.5 L/min compared to device‐estimated flows. This discrepancy remained stable across pump speed settings, highlighting the importance of distinguishing measured from estimated flow in HeartMate 3 patients.

The effect of continuous bilateral parasternal block with lidocaine on patient-controlled analgesia opioid requirement and recovery after open heart surgery: a double-blind randomised controlled trial

BJA Open
Background: We hypothesised that a continuous 72-h bilateral parasternal infusion of lidocaine at 2×35 mg h−1 would decrease pain and the inflammatory response after sternotomy for open heart surgery, subsequently improving quality of recovery.

Long‐Term Cancer and Mortality After Thymectomy

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 8, August 2026.
In a propensity score‐matched study comparing 398 thymectomy patients with 398 cardiothoracic controls over 10 years, thymectomy was not associated with excess all‐cause mortality (HR 0.78; 95% CI 0.54–1.13) or new malignancy (4.3% in both groups). Indication‐stratified analysis revealed heterogeneity: thymic malignancy carried significantly higher ...

Comparison of straight median sternotomy and interlocking sternotomy with respect to biomechanical stability

World Journal of Orthopedics, 2013
To increase the stability of sternotomy and so decrease the complications because of instability.Tests were performed on 20 fresh sheep sterna which were isolated from the sterno-costal joints of the ribs. Median straight and interlocking sternotomies were performed on 10 sterna each, set as groups 1 and 2, respectively.
