Seventeen Years Later A Rare Case of Submitral Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm After Cardiac Surgery
Introduction Cardiac surgeries often offer life-saving outcomes, yet rare complications can emerge even years later. One such uncommon yet critical condition is Submitral Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm (SLVP), which may arise long after mitral valve replacement. A recent case highlights the late manifestation of this condition in a 59-year-old woman, seventeen years post-surgery underlining the need for…

A Simple Solution for Safer Heart Valve Surgeries
Introduction In the intricate world of cardiac surgery, some techniques stand the test of time — posterior pericardiotomy (PP) is one of them. Though often overlooked, this straightforward surgical maneuver significantly reduces postoperative complications such as atrial fibrillation (AF) and cardiac tamponade following valve surgery. A recent observational study conducted at Minia University, Egypt, re-evaluates…

Optimal Blood Pressure During Cardiopulmonary Bypass Insights from Recent Research
Introduction Post-cardiac surgery stroke is a severe complication, with incidences as high as 50%. Determining the optimal mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to reduce postoperative stroke and cognitive dysfunction remains controversial. Recent studies have attempted to clarify whether a high MAP strategy (70-80 mmHg) offers better protection compared to a lower…

Spontaneous Rupture of a Giant Coronary Artery Aneurysm After Acute Myocardial Infarction
Introduction Coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) are rare yet life-threatening conditions characterized by abnormal dilatation of the coronary artery. These aneurysms, when left untreated, pose a high risk of thrombus formation, embolization, and even rupture. A recent case highlights the devastating effects of a giant coronary artery aneurysm leading to fatal complications post-myocardial infarction. Explore more…
