Article Abstract
Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) is now widely performed worldwide, and the use of robotic staplers is increasingly common. In this report, we present two cases in which pulmonary artery transection was interrupted due to activation of the robotic stapler's safety mechanism, labeled "Tissue Too Thick to Continue." Although no superfluous tissue was apparent upon inspection, the transaction was halted mid-procedure in both cases. Potential causes for this interruption include inappropriate cartridge selection for the tissue thickness, a dropped staple, or insufficient detachment of tissue in a visually inaccessible area. Malfunction or interruption of an automatic stapling device during vascular transection can lead to serious complications. Therefore, we believe this safety system should assess tissue suitability before initiating transection. Here, we describe how we managed these intraoperative events and discuss possible factors contributing to robotic stapler malfunction.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and complications of absorbable haemostatic gelatin uterine artery embolisation for symptomatic acquired uterine arterio-venous malformation (UAVM).
Methods: All the adult female patients who had acute urogenital bleeding due to UAVM confirmed on ultrasound and received uterine artery embolisation (UAE) for UAVM in a tertiary institution between January 2000 and October 2024 were included. Patients who had UAE for other causes were excluded.

Background: Paediatric patients who underwent surgery for mitral regurgitation (MR) have a high risk of recurrence or death; however, no prediction tool has been developed to risk-stratify this challenging subpopulation.
Methods: In this multicentre cohort study, paediatric patients undergoing surgery for congenital MR in Shanghai Children's Medical Center in January 1st, 2009-December 31st, 2022 were included for analysis while those had a combination with infective endocarditis, anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery, rheumatic valvular disease, connective tissue disease, or single ventricle were excluded. A Cox regression model predictive of the primary outcome (a composite of mortality or mitral valve [MV] re-operation) was derived and converted to a point-based risk score.

Tobacco smoke is the main risk factor for the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Despite current therapies alleviate symptoms there are limitations in the efficacy of treatments to curb its cardiovascular morbidities, particularly vascular dysfunction and the development of pulmonary hypertension. Our previous studies demonstrate that cigarette smoke directly contributes to pulmonary arterial dysfunction.

Aims: Fetal circulation undergoes complex changes in congenital heart disease (CHD) that are challenging to assess with fetal echocardiography. This study aimed to assess clinical feasibility and diagnostic value of 4D flow cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in fetal CHD.
Methods And Results: Pregnant women in advanced third trimester pregnancy with fetal CHD were prospectively recruited for fetal CMR between 08/2021 and 11/2024.
