Usefulness of somatosensory-evoked potentials for monitoring cerebral perfusion during transcarotid transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a case report Open
Background Transcarotid transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a safe procedure with a low incidence of cerebral infarction and has recently become the first-choice alternative approach. This procedure requires temporary occlusio…

Reoperation for chronological complete dislodgement of the bioprosthetic aortic valve into the left ventricle due to Takayasu arteritis Open
Background Takayasu arteritis is a large-vessel vasculitis, in addition to giant cell arteritis. Various post-operative complications associated with the cardiac macrovasculature have been reported. Detachment of the prosthetic valve, pseu…

Acute Dapagliflozin Administration Ameliorates Cardiac Surgery-Associated Acute Kidney Injury in a Rabbit Model Open
Acute intravenous administration of dapagliflozin protects against CPB-induced AKI. Dapagliflozin may have direct renoprotective effects in renal tubular cells.

Left atrial myxoma resection through right mini-thoracotomy in a patient with retrosternal gastric tube Open
We report a case with a retrosternal gastric tube after oesophagectomy, who required left atrial myxoma resection, pulmonary vein isolation and left atrial appendage closure. A right mini-thoracotomy approach was adopted to avoid neo-oesop…

Descending Aortic Rupture after Frozen Elephant Trunk Technique for Dissected Aortic Arch Aneurysm Open
症例は41歳の男性．急性A型大動脈解離に対する初回手術として大動脈基部置換術を施行し，術後8カ月目に慢性解離性大動脈瘤に対して2回目手術（全弓部置換術＋frozen elephant trunk（FET））を行ったところ，FET末梢端が位置する下行大動脈に新たなintimal tearを生じた．その後，再手術から3カ月後に下行大動脈破裂に至り，3回目手術（緊急下行大動脈置換術）を要した．FETを併用した全弓部置換術は有用な手段であるが，慢性解離性大動脈瘤に対して使用する際は…

Transgenic Expression of the Formin Protein Fhod3 Selectively in the Embryonic Heart: Role of Actin-Binding Activity of Fhod3 and Its Sarcomeric Localization during Myofibrillogenesis Open
Fhod3 is a cardiac member of the formin family proteins that play pivotal roles in actin filament assembly in various cellular contexts. The targeted deletion of mouse Fhod3 gene leads to defects in cardiogenesis, particularly during myofi…

Left ventricular pacing can be a complementary solution for systolic anterior motion after mitral valve plasty Open
A 54-year old man underwent redo mitral valve (MV) plasty because of recurrent mitral regurgitation (MR). Intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography revealed severe MR and turbulent flow at the left ventricular (LV) outflow tract ass…
