Salvage repair of complete aortic root detachment after Bentall procedure: a case of LVOT elongation.

Complete detachment of the aortic root following a Bentall procedure is an exceptionally rare complication. The vast majority of reported cases are secondary to prosthetic valve endocarditis or underlying vasculitis. Currently, the most reliable treatment for aortic root dehiscence-particularly in the context of prosthetic valve endocarditis-is repeat root replacement, typically via a second Bentall procedure or with the use of a homograft or allograft.

[MÖB-01] Study of the Effect of Fat Mass Index and Fat Free Mass Index on Postoperative Complications and Hospitalization in Patients Undergoing Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Operation.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of preoperative fat mass and fat-free mass measurements on postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients scheduled for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Methods: In the prospective study conducted preoperative biochemistry analyses, sex, age, height, weight, body mass index, body surface area, fat mass index (FMI), fat-free mass index (FFMI), fat mass ratio (FMR), and fat-free mass ratio (FFMR) of 120 individuals were recorded. The number of vessels with CABG, postoperative need for inotropic drugs, time of extubation, total duration of intubation, duration of intensive care unit stay, duration of hospitalization, presence of wound drainage, cases of revision, development of pulmonary embolism, postoperative atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmia, postoperative need for an intra-aortic balloon pump and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and death.

Surgical treatment of a giant hydatid cyst in the interventricular septum.

The surgical procedure detailed in this case report focuses on the treatment of a large cardiac hydatid cyst located in the intraventricular septum. The surgical intervention comprised a comprehensive approach involving a median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass. A localized mass below the tricuspid valve at the basal region of the interventricular septum was revealed.
