Critical Care Echocardiography-A Driven Approach to Undifferentiated Shock
Tex Heart Inst J. 2023 Oct 16;50(5):e228075. doi: 10.14503/THIJ-22-8075.ABSTRACTThe clinical approach to undifferentiated shock in critically ill patients should be revised to use modern, point-of-care tools that are readily available. With the increasing availability of 2-dimensional ultrasonography and advanced Doppler capabilities, a quick, simplified, and integrated stepwise approach to shock using critical care echocardiography is proposed. Evidence supports the feasibility and usefulness of critical care echo-cardiography in enhancing diagnostic accuracy for shock, but there is a lack of systematic application of the...

Surgical Management of Giant Unruptured Left Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm With Severe Aortic Regurgitation
Tex Heart Inst J. 2023 Oct 10;50(5):e238134. doi: 10.14503/THIJ-23-8134.ABSTRACTLeft sinus of Valsalva aneurysms are extremely rare. Concomitant aortic valve regurgitation is a comorbidity in this pathology. This case report summarizes successful surgical treatment with aortic root replacement with a modified Bentall procedure in a 49-year-old female patient who had an unruptured huge left sinus of Valsalva aneurysm with severe aortic valve regurgitation. The intraoperative assessment showed severe adhesion between the left main trunk of the coronary artery and the left sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, and meticulous adhesion d...
