Primary Cardiac Angiosarcoma with Rare Presenting Feature and
Successful Surgical Treatment
Primary angiosarcoma is a rare clinical entity, it ’s typically
located within the right atrium and known to be rapidly fatal.
A 37-year-old female was presented with a history of recurrent
facial paralysis and left hemiparesis. A cranial mass was identified
at cranial magnetic resonance imaging and she underwent
neurosurgery operation. The immuno histochemical examination
was determined as metastatic cardiac angiosarcoma. The tumor,
as well as part of the right pericardium, were resected. A piece of
bovine pericardium was used to reconstruct the right atrial wall.
Tricuspid valve was reconstructed with ring annuloplasty...

Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm with a Suprarenal
Tumor
This paper presents a case study of a patient that underwent
surgery for a ruptured abdominal aneurysm. The postoperative
course was complicated by resistant hypertension and tachycardia.
A suprarenal mass was detected in the computed tomography
scan with radiological suspicion of pheochromocytoma. Few
cases of pheochromocytoma coexisting with aneurysms have
been reported. Management of cardiovascular stability is crucial
in such cases. Despite the lack of evidence, pheochromocytomas
might have a role in the etiology of aortic aneurysms. (Source: Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Updated Meta-analysis on the Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale in
Reduction of Stroke Rates: the DEFENSE-PFO Trial Does not Change the
Scenario
Objective: We aimed to analyze whether patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure reduces the
risk of stroke, assessing also some safety outcomes after the publication of
a new trial.Introduction: The clinical benefit of closing a PFO has been an open question, so it is
necessary to review the current state of published medical data in regards
to this subject.Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL/CCTR, SciELO, LILACS, Google Scholar and reference
lists of relevant articles were used to search for randomized controlled
trials (RCTs) that reported any of the following outcomes: stroke, death,
...

Comparison of del Nido Cardioplegia with Blood Cardioplegia in
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Combined with Mitral Valve
Replacement
Objective: To compare del Nido cardioplegia (DNC) with blood cardioplegia (BC) in
coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) combined with mitral valve
replacement.Methods: A 3-year single-center retrospective cohort study was carried out. Subjects
who underwent CABG (up to triple bypass) combined with mitral valve
replacement were divided into DNC and BC groups. Each group had thirty
subjects.Results: Both groups demonstrated similar baseline characteristics, including age,
gender, cardiac/non-cardiac comorbidity, and preoperative echocardiographic
parameters. Compared with the...

Use of 3D Printing in Preoperative Planning and Training for Aortic
Endovascular Repair and Aortic Valve Disease
Introduction: Three-dimensional (3D) printing has become an affordable tool for assisting
heart surgeons in the aorta endovascular field, both in surgical planning,
education and training of residents and students. This technique permits the
construction of physical prototypes from conventional medical images by
converting the anatomical information into computer aided design (CAD)
files.Objective: To present the 3D printing feature on developing prototypes leading to
improved aortic endovascular surgical planning, as well as transcatheter
aortic valve implantation, and main...

Combined Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting and Lung Resection
in Patients with Lung Cancer Accompanied by Coronary Artery
Disease
Introduction: Optimal surgical approach for the treatment of resectable lung cancer
accompanied by coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a contentious issue. In
this study, we present our cases that were operated simultaneously for
concurrent lung cancer and CAD.Methods: Simultaneous off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCABG) and lung
resection were performed on 10 patients in our clinic due to lung cancer
accompanied by CAD. Demographic features of patients, operation data and
postoperative results were evaluated retrospectively.Results: Mean patient age was 63.3 years (rang...

Quality of Life in Cardiovascular Surgery: Elaboration and Initial
Internal Validation of a Quality of Life Questionnaire
Objective: Elaboration and internal validation of the Quality of Life in Cardiovascular
Surgery (QLCS) questionnaire adapted to the reality of Brazilian
cardiovascular surgery.Methods: Cross-sectional pilot study of a prospective cohort included in the
Documentation and Surgical Registry Center (CEDREC) for internal validation
of the QLCS questionnaire. Four hundred forty-five patients submitted to
cardiovascular surgery and who answered a QLCS questionnaire 30 days after
hospital discharge were included. It was applied via telephone. To verify
the questions' internal consis...

Hemodynamic Changes During Heart Displacement in Aorta No-Touch
Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Pilot Study
Objective: To evaluate the sequential changes of hemodynamic and metabolic parameters in
patients who underwent aorta no-touch off-pump coronary artery bypass
surgery (OPCAB).Methods: Prospective study involving twenty-seven consecutive patients who underwent
aorta no-touch OPCAB. The FloTrac/PreSep/Vigileo ™ system (Edwards
Lifesciences) was used to continuously record heart rate (HR), mean arterial
blood pressure (MABP), central venous pressure (CVP), continuous cardiac
index (FCI), stroke volume (SV), stroke volume variation (SVV), and central
venous oxygen saturation (ScvO...

Consequence of Ischemic Stroke after Coronary Surgery with
Cardiopulmonary Bypass According to Stroke Subtypes
Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the outcomes of patients developing
ischemic stroke after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Methods: From March 2012 to January 2017, 5380 consecutive patients undergoing
elective coronary surgery were analyzed. Ninety-five patients who developed
ischemic strokes after on-pump coronary surgery were included in the study,
retrospectively. The cohort was divided into four subgroups [total anterior
circulation infarction (TACI), partial anterior circulation infarction
(PACI), posterior circulation infarction (POCI), and lacunar...
