Article Abstract

A 43-year-old man diagnosed with a giant retroperitoneal tumor with suspected invasion of the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava underwent surgery. Complete en bloc tumor resection could be achieved by transection and reconstruction of the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava. This case highlights the need for aggressive, complete tumor resection when major vessels are invaded. To ensure comprehensive tumor removal, especially in cases requiring manipulation of major vessels, it is imperative to increase the involvement of cardiovascular surgeons in such surgeries. Therefore, widespread promotion of the concept of oncovascular surgery is essential.

Importance: Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is an underdiagnosed but treatable cause of heart failure (HF) in older individuals that occurs in the context of normal wild-type (ATTRwt-CA) or an abnormal inherited (ATTRv-CA) TTR gene variant. While the most common inherited TTR variant, V142I, occurs in 3% to 4% of self-identified Black Americans and is associated with excess morbidity and mortality, the prevalence of ATTR-CA in this at-risk population is unknown.

Objective: To define the prevalence of ATTR-CA and proportions attributable to ATTRwt-CA or ATTRv-CA among older Black and Caribbean Hispanic individuals with HF.

Objectives: Careers in cardiothoracic (CT) surgery can substantially impact home dynamics, specifically influencing relationships and interactions with children. Factors impacting family experiences of CT surgeon-mothers have not been well-described. We sought to describe co-parent perceptions of child emotional and psychological well-being in families with CT surgeon-mothers.

Objective: Limited data are available on treatment of atrial fibrillation during ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic valve surgery. Ablation at the time of isolated aortic valve surgery has a Society of Thoracic Surgeons Class I indication. We sought to determine early and late outcomes of concomitant atrial fibrillation surgery at the time of ascending aortic aneurysm + aortic valve surgery.

Simulation-based training is transforming the education of vascular surgeons in the management of aortic aneurysms (AAs), addressing limitations in traditional apprenticeship models amid declining open surgical volumes and increasing reliance on complex endovascular techniques. This review explores the current landscape of simulation technologies, including computational modeling, fluid-structure interaction, patient-specific 3D printing, artificial intelligence, and robotic platforms. These tools enable high-fidelity, anatomically accurate, and physiologically realistic training environments.

Background: Mitral valve surgery is a widely performed intervention for the treatment of various mitral valve pathologies. Postoperative conduction disturbances may necessitate permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation. This study aims to identify and quantify patient-related, cardiovascular, procedural risk factors, and risk score-based predictors of PPM implantation following mitral valve surgery.
