Surgical left ventricle restoration (SVR) was first by Cooley in 1958 with the "linear suture technique," and three decades later, Dor used a circular patch to reconstruct the left ventricle excluding the scarred parts of the septum and ventricular wall. It gained popularity and eventually almost abandoned after the contrasting literature evidence. Hassanabad et al. presented a comprehensive review of current literature on SVR techniques and clinical outcomes, trying to understand if SVR has sti...

We report a case of a 6-month-old girl with double outlet right ventricle where a right aortic arch with an abnormally posterior brachio-bicephalic trunk on the left side closely resembled an incomplete double-aortic-arch with distal left arch atresia on computed tomography (CT) angiography. The case highlights the role of preoperative CT angiography in demonstrating aortic arch and arch vessel anatomy in patients with complex congenital heart diseases.
BACKGROUND The radial artery (RA) is often utilized for diagnostic coronary angiography and percutaneous intervention. Recent high-level evidence supports RA use in preference to the saphenous vein as a conduit for coronary revascularization. AIM To demonstrate gross and histologic changes of the RA following transradial (TR) access. METHODS We present two patients who had open RA harvest for coronary bypass surgery after TR catheterization. RESULTS Examination 8 years after TR catheterization d...
Background null The swift advances in interventional cardiology combined with the increasing risk of cardiac surgical procedures resulted in diminishing volume of coronary and valvular surgery and affected the future of cardiac surgery service and training. Application to cardiac surgery training programs have steadily declined. This cross-sectional study aimed at identifying main weakness facing cardiac surgery and advocating some recommendations to improve the status of current and future of c...
