Re-repair after translocation of an anomalous left coronary artery
Ann Thorac Surg. 2024 Apr 13:S0003-4975(24)00282-0. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2024.03.036. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe repaired a left anomalous aortic origin of coronary artery (AAOCA) using coronary ostium translocation/re-implantation. Re-repair was required due to suboptimal flow pattern in postoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), confirmed with coronary angiography. We emphasize the importance of early recognition, diagnosis and intervention to deal with a problem with the coronary repair.PMID:38621655 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2024.03.036 (Source: The Annals of Thoracic Surgery)

Sex-based differences in concomitant tricuspid repair during degenerative mitral surgery
CONCLUSIONS: Females with moderate or severe TR undergoing mitral surgery for degenerative disease were less likely to receive concomitant TVr and more likely to develop severe TR or need valve-related reoperation. Evaluation of sex-based treatment differences is imperative to improve outcomes for females.PMID:38615976 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2024.03.032 (Source: The Annals of Thoracic Surgery)

Ivor Lewis Esophagectomy and the Care of Humphrey Bogart's Mid-Esophageal Cancer
Ann Thorac Surg. 2024 Apr 12:S0003-4975(24)00278-9. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2024.03.033. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn 1945, the Welsh surgeon Ivor Lewis first reported performing the resection of a mid-esophageal tumor through a combined approach involving the abdomen and right chest. While his technique was initially rebuffed by the preeminent esophageal surgeons of the time, it quickly became the standard approach for cancers of the mid-esophagus. Here we review the development and early dissemination of Lewis' operation using the case of the American actor Humphrey Bogart who underwent an Ivor Lewis esophagectomy ...
