Intraoperative Goal-Directed Perfusion in Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass: The Roles of Delivery Oxygen Index and Cardiac Index
CONCLUSION: Postoperative acute kidney injury and ICU and hospital LOS are significantly reduced when GDP protocols with indicators of flow management, oxygen delivery index, and CI are used in intraoperative cardiac surgery using CPB.PMID:38684395 | DOI:10.5761/atcs.ra.23-00188 (Source: Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

Long-Term Outcomes of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Using an Internal Thoracic Artery versus a Radial Artery as a Second Arterial Graft
CONCLUSIONS: When used as second grafts for LCx revascularization, ITA grafts may surpass RA grafts in reducing all-cause mortality 10 years postoperatively.PMID:38684396 | DOI:10.5761/atcs.oa.24-00029 (Source: Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

Dexmedetomidine Pretreatment Confers Myocardial Protection and Reduces Mechanical Ventilation Duration for Patients Undergoing Cardiac Valve Replacement under Cardiopulmonary Bypass
CONCLUSION: The study suggests that 0.50 µg/kg Dex pretreatment could reduce propofol use and the duration of mechanical ventilation, and confer myocardial protection without increased adverse events during cardiac valve replacement.PMID:38684422 | DOI:10.5761/atcs.oa.23-00210 (Source: Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

Intrathoracic Needle Migration from the Mediastinum into the Thoracic Cavity
We report an interesting case of intrathoracic needle removal using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The needle was inserted under the left clavicle, penetrated the mediastinum, and migrated into the right thoracic cavity. Although pneumothorax developed during the disease course, no severe complications were observed. This rare case illustrates the course of needle migration from the mediastinum into the thoracic cavity. Prompt imaging and surgical removal of foreign bodies are necessary in cases of intrathoracic foreign bodies.PMID:38631862 | DOI:10.5761/atcs.cr.24-00039 (Source: Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

Prospective Observation Study for Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax: Incidence of and Risk Factors for Postoperative Neogenesis of Bullae
CONCLUSIONS: We recognized a high incidence of postoperative NOB in PSP patients. Bullectomy itself seems to promote NOB. Postoperative NOB occurs frequently, especially in patients who require a large-volume lung resection with a long staple line.PMID:38599823 | DOI:10.5761/atcs.oa.23-00206 (Source: Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)
