Article Abstract

We present the case of a 4-year-old girl with tetralogy of Fallot associated with an incidentally detected isolation of the left brachiocephalic artery, with no communication between it and the pulmonary artery or ductus arteriosus. The case highlights the unusual association and hemodynamic consequences of the condition.

Case Presentation: A male patient in his late seventies presented with double vision and left abducens nerve palsy. Imaging revealed sinus opacifications later identified as due to Scedosporium apiospermum, a rare fungal pathogen.

Background And Aims: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent complication after cardiac surgery, worsening patient outcomes. Considering the established role of Ca2+-handling abnormalities in AF pathogenesis, this study aimed to evaluate if integrating cytosolic Ca2+-handling measurements with clinical risk factors enhances the risk prediction of post-operative AF.

Methods: Clinical data from 558 patients undergoing cardiac surgery without pre-existing AF from two centres were analysed.

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.

Subaortic membrane (SAM) is a subtype of left ventricular outflow obstruction, rarely seen in adults. In some cases, SAM may be associated with other congenital defects. The association of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and SAM is the rarest, especially in adult patients.

Background: commonly colonizes the genitourinary tract and primarily affects immunocompromised individuals. It is mostly confined to localized infections, with bloodstream dissemination being rare. Because of its fastidious nutritional requirements, the organism is seldom recovered by routine blood culture, and the absence of a cell wall renders it intrinsically resistant to many first-line antimicrobials.
