Single‐Incision Anterolateral Thoracotomy for LVAD Implantation: A Novel Minimally Invasive Approach
Artificial Organs, EarlyView.A novel single‐incision anterolateral thoracotomy technique enables complete HeartMate 3 implantation without sternotomy, minimizing surgical trauma and accelerating recovery. This minimally invasive approach is feasible, safe, and may represent a new standard in advanced heart failure surgery.

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.Multicenter real‐world cohort (n = 327) comparing LVADs: HeartMate 3 (HM3), HeartMate II (HMII), and HeartWare (HVAD). HM3 showed superior long‐term survival versus legacy devices, driven by fewer hemocompatibility‐related adverse events, especially pump thrombosis and ischemic stroke, while major bleeding was similar across devices.

Selective Use of Pericardial Window and Drainage as Sole Treatment for Hemopericardium from Penetrating Chest Trauma [PDF]
, 2018 Background Penetrating cardiac injuries (PCIs) are highly lethal, and a sternotomy is considered mandatory for suspected PCI. Recent literature suggests pericardial window (PCW) may be sufficient for superficial cardiac injuries to drain hemopericardium

Deep learning‐enhanced 3D imaging unveils semaglutide impact on cardiac fibrosis
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose Myocardial fibrosis (MF), a hallmark of structural cardiac remodelling, drives disease progression across most forms of heart failure and plays a central role in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Despite its clinical relevance, effective treatments remain scarce.
