[MSB-12] Our Clinical Experience with Septal Myectomy in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Patients.

Objective: This study aimed to share our surgical experience of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) treated successfully with surgical myectomy at a tertiary center that frequently utilizes minimally invasive approaches in clinical practice.

Methods: This study was conducted with eight patients (5 males, 3 females; mean age: 49.2±12.

[MSB-45] Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery in Fibrillation or Beating Heart: A Comparative Study.

Objective: This aimed to share our results of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery in fibrillation or beating heart.

Methods: The postoperative outcomes of 33 patients (mean age: 61.7 years) who underwent mitral valve surgery in fibrillation (n=14) or beating heart (n=19) with minimally invasive methods between February 2019 and May 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.

[MSB-47] Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery with Subareolar Incision.

Objective: This study aimed to share the results of minimally invasive cardiac surgery performed with a subareolar incision at our clinic. Eight female patients (mean age: 54±14.16 years) who underwent minimally invasive cardiac surgery with a subareolar incision between April 2023 and August 2024 were included in this retrospective study.

[MSB-30] Clinical Outcomes of Bicuspid Aortic Valve Pathologies Treated with Tricuspidization Using the Ozaki Procedure.

Objective: This study aimed to share early- and mid-term results in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease who underwent tricuspidization with the Ozaki procedure. The data of 44 patients (32 males, 12 females; mean age: 51.47±15.

[MSB-33] Postoperative Early- to Mid-Term Results of the Ozaki Procedure Applied to Aortic Valve Pathologies.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate our early- to mid-term results with the aortic valve neocuspidization technique (Ozaki procedure) in aortic valve pathologies.

Methods: This study retrospectively examined the data of 243 patients (172 males, 71 females; mean age: 53.11±18.

Evaluation of the effects of rosmarinic acid on red blood cell deformability, morphology, and nitric oxide in rat lower limb skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Background: Erythrocyte deformability, the ability of red blood cells to bend and twist as they pass through capillaries, is es-sential for tissue perfusion. This study investigates the effects and underlying mechanisms of rosmarinic acid treatment on erythrocyte deformability in rats subjected to lower limb ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Methods: The study was conducted on Wistar albino rats weighing 400-450 g.

Total coronary revascularization via left anterior thoracotomy: Comparison of early- and mid-term results with conventional surgery.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of total coronary revascularization via left anterior thoracotomy (TCRAT) by comparing it to conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with median sternotomy.

Methods: In this retrospective study, 108 patients (95 males, 13 females; mean age: 57.1±8.

Chronic Leg Ischemia Caused by Arterial Bullet Embolization.

Intravascular shrapnel or bullet embolization after a gunshot injury is rare, with fewer than 200 cases reported over the past century. Military injuries typically have high energy transfer, making this phenomenon less prevalent. A 22-year-old military personnel presented with chronic leg ischemia resulting from arterial bullet embolization.

A Unique Emotional Surgery: Removal of Unexploded Ordnance in a Patient With Vascular Injury.

Cases of embedded unexploded ordnance are extremely rare and pose a risk to bystanders and health providers. A patient arrived at the Role 2 medical facility in the Turkish army, whose left arm was amputated due to a terrorist attack and major hemorrhages had been halted by clamping of the left subclavian artery and vein. A piece of metal wire running from the lateral chest wall was detected as an unexploded ordnance piece and it was removed surgically.

Aortic Valve Neocuspidization Procedure Provides Better Postoperative Outcomes When Compared to Rapid Deployement Aortic Valves.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the early results of rapid deployment aortic valves (RD-AVR) and aortic valve neocuspidization (AVNeo) techniques.

Methods: Between December 2019 to May 2022, 104 patients were operated on with aortic stenosis by RD-AVR (N = 52) and AVNeo (N = 52) techniques. Patients with isolated aortic valve stenosis and aortic stenosis concomittant with planned other cardiac surgeries were included.

Robotic-assisted beating heart mitral valve surgery: Preliminary report.

Introduction: Robotic mitral valve surgery is a challenging issue, particularly in patients who are not suitable for aortic cross-clamping. In this study, we aimed to determine the feasibility and benefits of robotic, beating heart mitral valve surgery.

Methods: From February 2019 to February 2022, 17 patients underwent robotic beating heart mitral valve surgery.

Unrecognized indication for aortic valve neocuspidization: Patient with warfarin-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are severe disorders, characterized by necrosis and epidermal detachment. Most important known acquired etiological factor is medications. Warfarin is one of the most common medications of cardiac valve surgery, which may rarely cause SJS or TEN.
