BACKGROUND: Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) following myocardial infarction (MI) is a rare but lethal complication. We analyzed the long-term results and risk factors for survival in the treatment of VSR. METHODS: From January 2012 to December 2021, 115 consecutive patients with post-MI VSR were admitted to our hospital. Depending on different treatment methods patients were divided into following three groups: medical, transcatheter intervention, and surgical repair...

BACKGROUND: Drugs are the first choice of treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF), but there is currently a lack of efficient drug treatment options. The aim of this study was to investigate a combination drug treatment plan which may serve as a reference for the treatment of AF. METHODS: A total of 316 AF patients admitted to Jiaozhou Central Hospital in Qingdao from October 2020 to October 2022 were selected for this retrospective study. They were divided into a control group (CG, metoprolol, n = 156) and an observation group (OG, moracizine combined with metoprolol, n = 160) based on the treatment they received...

BACKGROUND: The relationships between serum levels of homocysteine (Hcy), soluble stromelysin 2 (sST2), and tumor-associated cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) and heart failure requires further investigation. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the levels of Hcy, sST2 and CA-125 in patients with congestive heart failure and to correlate these with cardiac function, thereby providing a reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of heart failure. METHODS: Seventy patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) diagnosed between August 2020 and July 2022 were classified into heart failure groups II (n = 25), III (n = 23) and IV (n = 22)...

An anomalous left coronary artery originating from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) refers to the abnormal origin of the left coronary artery either from the main pulmonary artery, pulmonary artery sinus, or the left and right pulmonary arteries, with the main pulmonary artery or pulmonary artery sinus being the most common sites. If not diagnosed and treated promptly, this condition can result in death within the first year of life in 90% of patients. Asymptomatic children can survive into adulthood, but they are at a high risk of sudden death...

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to compare the outcomes of the percutaneous femoral access and open surgical cutdown access approaches in patients undergoing thoracic/abdominal endovascular aortic repair. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 59 patients who underwent a thoracic/abdominal endovascular aortic repair at a single tertiary care hospital between 2015 and 2022. Based on their femoral access type, the patients were categorized into the "percutaneous" or "cutdown" groups...

Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) is a life-threatening complication after cardiac operations, especially after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in diabetic patients. Bilateral pectoralis major muscle flaps have been performed to treat DSWI. Two diabetic patients suffering from DSWI after CABG were treated by bilateral pectoralis major muscle flaps in our hospital. Both patients were discharged with full recovery. Satisfactory results can be obtained with bilateral pectoralis major muscle flaps following tissue debridement and drainage...

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the main causes of sudden death, but its exact pathogenesis requires further study. Thus, this study aimed to explore the immune and oxidative stress-related factors in CAD progression and their roles in CAD diagnosis. METHODS: Bioinformatics analysis was used in this study, and the GSE23561 dataset (training set) we used contained the transcriptome sequencing results of six CAD peripheral blood samples and nine control samples...

BACKGROUND: Postoperative delirium (POD) and neurological dysfunction are very common following cardiac surgery and deteriorate the patient's prognosis and the outcome of surgical procedures. A clinically effective management strategy or drug is not yet available for POD. Additionally, it is unknown whether remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has neuroprotective and anti-delirium benefits in patients who undergo cardiac surgery. METHODS: This study examined whether RIPC can improve POD and neurological function in cardiac surgery patients...

BACKGROUND: The cardio-renal syndrome and hepatic impairment play a critical role in end-stage heart failure (HF). Levosimendan is an effective inotropic agent used to maintain cardiac output similar to classic cardiotonic like dobutamine/dopamine. This current research aims to investigate the clinical outcomes of levosimendan and dobutamine/dopamine in Chinese heart transplant awaiting patients with severe hepatic or renal impairment. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of 568 heart transplant awaiting individuals with severe hepatic or renal impairment who treated with levosimendan or dobutamine/dopamine in our institution between January 2015 and December 2020...

BACKGROUND: High rates of mortality and aortic arch stenosis have been reported for one-stage radical surgery of interruption of aortic arch (IAA) with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and other associated intracardiac defects, but the sample size of the study is relatively small, and the credibility of the study is not high. The risk factors of death and aortic arch stenosis will be analyzed in a large sample size of infants with IAA, VSD and other associated intracardiac defects after one-stage radical resection...

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of heart failure is constantly increasing in both children and adults. End-stage heart failure in children unresponsive to medical therapy has limited treatment options. Surgical options include heart transplantation or implantation of durable ventricular assist devices (VADs). To start the VAD program, it was necessary to train core team members, invite experienced proctors and adjust the organizational approach. METHODS: We present our first seven pediatric patients who underwent a VAD implantation with primary indication end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy...

Brucellosis endocarditis is a rare but life-threatening complication of brucellosis, involving congenital, prosthetic and even native valves. Its diagnosis and treatment is a great challenge for doctors. The patient's prognosis requires prompt diagnosis and continuous evaluation of treatment plans to assess the need for either surgical intervention of the infected valves or continuation of antibiotic therapy alone. We present a patient with brucellosis endocarditis, predominantly involving the mitral valve, presenting with vegetations and prolapse of the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve with moderate to severe regurgitation...

A 56-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a 2-week history of chest tightness and fatigue, and an echocardiogram revealed a massive polyserous cavity effusion. A massive (13.5 cm maximum diameter) intrapericardial mass was discovered using computed tomography (CT) and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the ascending aortic wall. A pericardial biopsy was performed and diagnosed as a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT). After successful mass resection, an immunohistochemical test was positive for CD34, STAT-6, CD34, and Bcl2, which indicates a giant benign solitary fibrous tumor of the ascending aortic wall...
