Reoperative total arch replacement (TAR) following prior cardiovascular surgery presents significant technical challenges and is associated with higher risk profiles. With increasing numbers of patients undergoing reoperation as a result of successful outcomes from primary procedures, we sought to compare the clinical outcomes of reoperative TAR with those of first-time TAR.

Heart transplantation (HTx) is the gold standard for end-stage heart failure treatment, yet donor shortages limit its availability. In Ukraine, legislative reforms in 2019 spurred HTx growth, but the ongoing war halted progress and disrupted logistics. This study evaluates outcomes of orthotopic HTx, focusing on use of marginal donor hearts to expand the traditional donor pool.

Patients with low MELD scores remain at substantial risk for waitlist removal. We investigated modern outcomes and graft utilization for low MELD patients undergoing liver transplant(LT) in the US. Adult LT recipients with low MELD scores(match MELD?20) from 2022-2023 were identified from the UNOS database and stratified by receipt of a donation-after-circulatory-death(DCD), donation-after-brain-death(DBD), or living donor(LD) graft. Demographic and outcome data were compared. Of 5,946 recipients, 21.7% underwent DCD transplant and 15.7% LDLT.

Low- and lower-middle income countries reporting on prevalance of complicated appendicitis.

A 70-year-old man presented to the emergency department with intractable vomiting and hiccups for 2 days. He was diagnosed as having esophageal cancer and was admitted for surgery to create surgical enteral access for preoperative nutritional supplementation 2 weeks earlier. Three days after his discharge home, he began to experience abdominal distension and nausea, and he was subsequently brought to our hospital. On arrival, he was hemodynamically stable and afebrile. Physical examination revealed a mildly distended abdomen with tenderness, whereas laboratory tests showed all within normal limits except for a white cell count of 10,300/mm3, with a predominance of neutrophils (72.0%).
