Abstract

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most commonly performed and studied major cardiac operation worldwide. An understanding of the evolution of CABG, including the early days of cardiac surgery, the first bypass operation, continuous improvements in techniques, and streamlining of the operation, is important to inform current trends and future innovations. This article will examine how CABG evolved (from techniques to conduits), describe current trends in the field, and explore what lies on the horizon for the future of CABG. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

9. Intracaval Leiomyoma with Intracardiac Extension

Subjects
Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine
Abstract

The objective of this study was to explain step by step how to achieve a complete resection of an intravascular leiomyoma. A 48-year-old woman was referred to our institution with progressive dyspnea on exertion, lightheadedness, and previous history of total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for a uterine leiomyoma echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging of the heart and abdomen/pelvis were performed and an intracaval mass with extension into the right heart and pulmonary artery was identified. After multidisciplinary review, a single-stage sternotomy–laparotomy procedure on cardiopulmonary bypass (with beating heart, mild hypothermia, and no deep hypothermic circulatory arrest) ensured complete resection of a giant intravenous leiomyoma (IVL). Multidisciplinary approach, multimodality imaging, and single-stage sternotomy–laparotomy procedure on cardiopulmonary bypass (with heart beating and mild hypothermia) ensure complete resection of IVL.

20. Intrapericardial teratoma in a low birth weight preterm infant: a successful multidisciplinary approach.

Author

Iacona, Gabriele M, Barber, Miguel A, Medina, Margarita, and Abella, Raul

Abstract

We report the case of an intrapericardial teratoma, a rare tumour in infants, prenatally diagnosed and successfully treated thanks to a multidisciplinary approach. An intrapericardial cystic mass (2.5 cm) with pericardial effusion was identified in a foetus at 32 weeks gestational age (GA). Intrauterine pericardiocentesis was performed immediately (40 ml) and repeated at 33 weeks (25 ml) and then at 34 weeks GA, just before birth (36 ml). Considering the rapid growth of the mass and the risk of hydrops, vaginal delivery was induced. A baby girl weighing 1.98 kg was born without cardiorespiratory compromise. Echocardiography and thoracic CT-scan located the 4.0×3.0 cm cystic mass between the left atrial appendage and the left superior pulmonary vein. At three days of life, the mass was completely removed without cardiobypass. It arose from the ascending aorta. Postoperative course was uneventful. Pathology diagnosed an immature intrapericardial teratoma. As long-term follow-up is required, alpha-fetoprotein can be a valid tool to monitor a possible recurrence. A multidisciplinary approach allows successful prenatal management and postnatal tumour surgery.

22. Radical pericardiectomy for pericardial diseases.

Abstract

Pericarditis is the most common form of pericardial disease. Its exact incidence remains unknown, probably because many cases resolve without diagnosis. Indications for pericardiectomy from the standpoint of the cardiac surgeon are based mainly on the physiopathology of 2 different entities that can overlap: inflammatory or relapsing pericarditis and constrictive pericarditis. Surgical indications are not always straightforward. Patients with inflammatory or relapsing pericarditis may undergo radical pericardiectomy because they experience severe symptoms despite maximal medical treatment or have sequelae from the medical treatment. Pericardiectomy is the standard treatment in patients with chronic constrictive pericarditis and persistent symptoms who are in New York Heart Association functional class III or IV and a class I recommendation in the European Society of Cardiology/European Association of Cardio-Vascular Surgery guidelines. The goal of surgery is always complete removal of any site of inflammation through a radical pericardiectomy., (© The Author 2021.
