Video-assisted thoracic surgery thymectomy: subxiphoid approach

Mediastinum, 2018
Background: To describe the use of the subxiphoid approach for thymectomy and to present a variant of the technique of minimally invasive extended thymectomy for thymoma or myasthenia gravis (MG) without thymoma done via a sole (uniportal) subxiphoid incision with aid of the sternal lifting. Methods: The infrasternal (subxiphoid) technique was used.

Safety Outcomes of Hybrid Open Chest Transvenous Lead Extraction: A Multicenter Experience

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 247-256, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Hybrid open chest transvenous lead extraction (TLE), combining surgical and endovascular techniques, may be utilized in patients requiring concomitant cardiac surgery or with high‐risk features for endovascular extraction. Outcome data in this population remains sparse. Aims To evaluate procedural outcomes and identify predictors of

A preclinical rat model for bilateral phrenic nerve stimulation during mechanical ventilation

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 416-421, February 2026.
In this study, we established a reproducible rat model for bilateral PNS under MV, aiming for a platform for investigating mechanisms and interventions for ventilator associated injury. This model integrating minimal invasive omohyoid‐based surgery, threshold stimulation, and ventilator‐synchronized delivery, demonstrating a stable diaphragm ...
