Background: Because the myocardium thickness and blood flow of the right ventricular (RV) are lower than those of the left ventricle, it is challenging to perceive the RV myocardium in normal individuals. This study aimed to measure the myocardial perfusion in the RV (myocardial blood flow [MBF], myocardial flow reserve [MFR]) from 13N-ammonia PET images and investigate the associations between the MBF and MFR in patients with and without coronary artery disease (CAD) in the right coronary artery (RCA) region. A total 121 MBF and MFR were retrospectively measured from PET images by referring to the radioactivity and clinical blood flow values of the left ventricle.

Background: Morbid obesity is a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Diastolic dysfunction, particularly in non-cardiac surgeries, has been associated with increased incidence of adverse cardiovascular events. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction in morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery and to identify associated clinical risk factors using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).

We present a case of third ventricle colloid cyst surgical resection using a tubular-based endoscopic transcortical approach. Third ventricle colloid are rare benign lesions typically found in the anterolateral part of the third ventricle, close to the foramen of Monro. Several surgical approaches have been employed for their management.

Effect of Celsior Cold Storage on Warm Ischemia-Induced Myocardial Plasma Membrane Damage and Pyroptosis in Human Hearts from Circulatory Death Donors.

Objective: Celsior solution (CS) is used for cold preservation of hearts from brain death donors but not for those from circulatory death donors (DCD). Plasma membrane repair proteins are crucial for maintaining myocardial integrity during ischemia. We compared the effects of CS cold preservation with normal saline (NS) on myocardial membrane disruption and pyroptosis in human DCD hearts, with varying warm ischemia times (WIT) and cold storage durations.

Long Term Outcomes of Tricuspid Valve Repair or Replacement in Patients with Continuous Flow Left Ventricular Assist Devices.

J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg

September 2025

Division of Cardiac, Thoracic & Vascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, New York, NY. Electronic address:

Objective: Our objective was to determine the long-term outcomes of concomitant tricuspid valve procedures (TVP) during continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who received HeartMate II or 3 from 2004 to 2023. Nine patients who had a previous TVP were excluded.
