Correction of Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction Caused by
Anomalous Papillary Muscle and Subaortic Membrane
This paper presents a case study of a 30-year-old male patient
with dyspnea on exertion had echocardiographic diagnosis of aortic
subvalvar stenosis. Discrete mitral regurgitation and aortic valve
dysplasia with mild to moderate insufficiency and hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy were also noted. During surgery, a rare condition
was identified: presence of papillary muscle anomaly associated
with the subaortic membrane as a cause of obstruction of the left
ventricular outflow tract. With the resection of these structures and
a mitral valve annuloplasty, the patient evolved with a significant
improvement of clinical cond...

Gradual Treatment of Arteriovenous Fistula in Femoral Vessels as a
Complication of Coronary Angiography
Arteriovenous fistula due to coronary angiography
intervention is rarely seen. Arteriovenous fistulas may be
asymptomatic according to the size of the shunt, as well as to
the heart failure. In this case report, we aimed to share gradual
transition from endovascular methods to surgery and why
surgical treatment is required for a patient who developed
arteriovenous fistula after coronary angiography. (Source: Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Lateral Costal Artery: Clinical Importance of an Accessory Thoracic
Artery
The lateral costal artery has sometimes been identified as
the culprit for the “steal phenomenon” after coronary artery
bypass grafting, besides being occasionally used for myocardial
revascularization. Its branches make anastomoses with the internal
thoracic artery through lateral intercostal arteries. We aim to report,
on three cases, the clinical significance of a well- developed lateral
costal artery after coronary artery bypass grafting. Two out of three
patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery in
our center between June 2010 and August 2017, applied to us with
stable angina pectoris, while the...

Risk Factors for Mortality in Children with Congenital Heart Disease
Delivered at a Brazilian Tertiary Center
This study aims to investigate the incidence of postnatal diagnosis of
congenital heart disease (CHD) and the predictive factors for hospital
mortality.Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at a Brazilian tertiary center,
and data were collected from medical records with inclusion criteria defined
as any newborn with CHD diagnosed in the postnatal period delivered between
2015 and 2017. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to
determine the potential risk factors for mortality.Results: During the 3-year period, 119 (5.3%) children of the 2215 children...

Expressions of Transforming Growth Factor & #946; < sub > 1 < /sub >
Signaling Cytokines in Aortic Dissection
Objective: To demonstrate the underlying mechanisms of aortic dissection compared to
those of coronary artery disease in terms of the transforming growth
factor-beta (TGF- β) signaling pathway.Methods: Twenty consecutive aortic dissection patients and 20 consecutive coronary
artery disease patients undergoing a surgical treatment in this hospital
were enrolled into this study. The aortic tissues were sampled and the
TGF- β1 and its receptor TGF-β receptor I
(TβRI) were detected by Western blotting assay.Results: TGF- β1 and TβRI were positively expressed in the
aortic t...

ACT Values after Neutralization Lower than Pre-heparinization ACT
Leads to Lower Operative Times, Bleeding, and Post-Operative Transfusions in
CABG Patients: an Observational Study
Objective: To evaluate if lower activated coagulation time (ACT) value after
neutralization than preoperative ACT value was effective in reducing
bleeding, operative times, and post-operative transfusions in patients
underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Methods: Retrospective selection of 398 patients from January 2014 to May 2017.
Patients were divided into 2 groups according to final ACT after
neutralization: A - final ACT lower than preoperative ACT; and B - final ACT
higher than or equal to preoperative ACT. Hemostatic time, intraoperative
blood loss, ACT aft...
