Article Abstract
Background And Aim: Giant aneurysm of the pulmonary artery (PAA) is an extremely rare condition that may develop in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) which may be complicated by rupture, dissection or intravascular thrombus formation. The aim of this study was to examine available literature with regard to surgical strategies in patients undergoing transplantation for PAH with PAA.
Results: These patients were traditionally considered for heart-lung transplantation but more recently, there have been reports of successful lung transplantation with reconstruction of the pulmonary artery.
Conclusions: Unless there is a mandatory indication for heart-lung transplantation, patients with PAH and PAA can undergo lung transplantation and reconstruction of the pulmonary artery without compromising the outcome.

Background: Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a significant contributor to cardiac mortality in Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients. Inflammatory processes and oxidative stress play pivotal roles in the advancement of Pulmonary Hypertension (PH). The Monocyte-to-High-- Density-Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio (MHR), a newly identified biomarker indicative of inflammatory and oxidative stress, has not been extensively researched in the context of pulmonary hypertension, especially within the scope of dilated cardiomyopathy.

Background: Pulmonary hypertension is associated with cardiovascular events, but when assessed at rest, it has limited sensitivity. Pulmonary vascular reserve can be assessed noninvasively using exercise echocardiography, but this has not been studied in adults with coarctation of aorta (COA). We hypothesized that adults with COA had worse pulmonary vascular reserve compared to controls, and that impaired pulmonary vascular reserve was associated with clinical indices of disease severity independent right ventricular (RV) indices at rest.

Background: Disseminated cancer can complicate the decision-making for major surgery, as patients can be poor surgical candidates and have potentially limited life expectancy. This study aimed to evaluate the 30-day postoperative outcomes of infrainguinal bypass in patients with disseminated cancer using a large-scale national database.
Methods: Adult patients with and without disseminated cancer who underwent infrainguinal bypass were identified in the ACS-NSQIP database from 2011-2023.
Exercise-induced arterial hypoxaemia in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Some patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have demonstrated evidence of exercise-induced arterial hypoxaemia (EIAH). However, EIAH was not quantified using , , and measurements as previously conducted in healthy adults nor was EIAH quantified alongside simultaneous measurements of pulmonary vascular pressures, cardiorespiratory responses, or dyspnoea on exertion (DOE) in these patients. Given the effects of hypoxaemia on pulmonary vasoconstriction, cardiorespiratory responses, and DOE, we tested the hypothesis that patients with HFpEF and EIAH (EIAH) would demonstrate higher pulmonary vascular pressures, worse oxygen uptake, and greater DOE compared with patients without EIAH (EIAH).

Aims: Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (II/R) injury predominantly causes acute lung injury (ALI), and in severe instances, acute respiratory distress syndrome, both associated with high mortality. Electroacupuncture (EA) excels in regulating autonomic nervous system balance and safeguarding organ function. This study delved into EA's impacts and mechanisms on II/R-induced ALI.
