Here we present a rare occurrence of acute aorto-pulmonary artery fistula in outpatient department in a follow up patient of aortic valve replacement and discuss challenges faced in diagnosis, etiopathogenesis and management.展开更多

Experience in treating these aggressive and lethal tumors is minimal and management protocols are not well defined and have to rely on case reports, and personal experiences. Most effective therapy for primary cardiac malignancy is a complete surgical resection and the role of chemoradiotherapy is still evolving.展开更多

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is generally not required during tracheal surgery on the cervical trachea. However, for tracheal surgeries CPB may be advantageous and give the surgeon more freedom to work. We report three cases of post-intubation tracheal stenosis successfully managed with tracheal resection and reconstruction performed under cardiopulmonary bypass.展开更多

It was treated with surgical closure with the help of CPB in the earlier days. Now there are two approaches available, open surgery under CPB and transcatheter closure. Here we are going to present late complication of transcatheter closure of ASD.展开更多
