    Abstract A 60-year-old woman presented with a fever of unknown origin. Echocardiography revealed a large left atrial tumor protruding into the left ventricle during diastole. Laboratory investigation showed an elevated white blood cell count, C-reactive protein concentration, and interleukin-6 concentration. Magnetic resonance imaging showed hyperacute microinfarcts and multiple old lacunar infarcts. Surgery was performed under suspicion of cardiac myxoma. A dark red jelly-like tumor with an irregular surface was removed. Histopathological examination revealed cardiac myxoma, the surface of which was covered with fibrin and bacterial masses. Preoperative blood culture was positive for

    Abstract A 60-year-old woman presented with a fever of unknown origin. Echocardiography revealed a large left atrial tumor protruding into the left ventricle during diastole. Laboratory investigation showed an elevated white blood cell count, C-reactive protein concentration, and interleukin-6 concentration. Magnetic resonance imaging showed hyperacute microinfarcts and multiple old lacunar infarcts. Surgery was performed under suspicion of cardiac myxoma. A dark red jelly-like tumor with an irregular surface was removed. Histopathological examination revealed cardiac myxoma, the surface of which was covered with fibrin and bacterial masses. Preoperative blood culture was positive for Streptococcus vestibularis . These findings were compatible with a diagnosis of infected cardiac myxoma. We used an antibiotic therapeutic regimen for infective endocarditis, and the patient was discharged home on postoperative day 31. Prompt diagnosis and treatment, including effective and efficient antibiotic therapy and complete tumor resection, increased the chance of a better outcome in patients with infected cardiac myxoma.

    Abstract Purpose: We investigated the utility of trunk muscle cross-sectional area to predict length of hospitalization after surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) for aortic stenosis (AS).
    Methods: Adult AS patients who underwent isolated AVR at a single institution were studied. The cross-sectional area of the erector spinae muscles (ESM) at the first and second lumbar vertebrae and that of the psoas muscle (PM) at the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae were measured on preoperative computed tomography (CT). Each was indexed to body surface area. Risk factors for prolonged postoperative hospitalization (>3 weeks) were assessed using multivariate regression analyses.
    Results: Of 56 patients (mean age 76 ± 9 years; 25 men), 20 (35.7%) patients required prolonged hospitalization. A smaller indexed ESM cross-sectional area at the first lumbar vertebra (per 1 cm/m
    Conclusion: The cross-sectional area of the trunk muscles can be used to identify patients at risk for prolonged hospitalization after AVR for adult AS.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the utility of ultrasonographic assessment of blood flow to the lower limb below the cannulation site in minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS).
    Methods: Twenty-two patients who underwent ultrasonographic assessment in MICS were reviewed retrospectively. In all patients, the right femoral artery was used for arterial cannulation. Ultrasonographic assessment was performed using a 15-MHz ultrasonography small probe, and regional oxygen saturation was monitored by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).
    Results: The mean flow velocity at the distal side of the cannulation site was 46.2 ± 25.4 cm/s. In six patients, a >40% decreased from baseline regional oxygen saturation was observed. In five of the six patients, the flow velocity was very slow, and spontaneous echo contrast was also observed in three cases. Their regional oxygen saturation was improved rapidly after distal leg perfusion. In the remaining case, the flow velocity was not decreased. In another one case, the stenosis at the cannulation site was detected after decannulation and repaired immediately. No limb ischemic complications were observed in this series.
    Conclusion: Ultrasonographic assessment combined with the NIRS monitoring is useful to prevent lower limb ischemic complications after femoral arterial cannulation in MICS.

    Abstract Purpose: The effect of our comprehensive strategy to reduce pain after minimally invasive mitral valve repair through a right mini-thoracotomy was assessed retrospectively.
    Methods: Our comprehensive strategy constituted the following: planned rib cutting to avoid rib injury, sufficient intercostal muscle division to mobilize the cut rib, limiting the number of intercostal ports, avoiding nerve entrapment, continuous extra-pleural intercostal nerve block, and regular use of oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. We compared patients treated with this comprehensive strategy (Group S, n = 13) and patients before this strategy was implemented (Group C, n = 13). We used a numerical rating scale (NRS) as a pain scale during the first 3 days postoperatively.
    Results: The average NRS was significantly lower in Group S (0.82 ± 0.49) than in Group C (2.40 ± 1.46) (P <0.01). The maximum NRS was also significantly lower in Group S (3.23 ± 1.17) than in Group C (5.69 ± 2.43) (P <0.01). The number of patients using additional single-dose analgesic were significantly less in Group S (23.1%) than in Group C (84.6%) (P <0.01).
    Conclusion: Our comprehensive pain control strategy effectively reduced postoperative pain in minimally invasive mitral valve repair.

    Abstract Background: We developed an adventitial overlay method for reinforcing aortic anastomoses. This study evaluated the midterm morphologic and clinical outcomes of this method.
    Methods: We harvested and prepared adventitia from a resected aneurysm or dissected aortic wall and performed aortic repair using the adventitial overlay method. At the midterm follow-up, we examined the differences between overlay, inversion, and felt sandwich methods by evaluating the morphologic features of the anastomosis on computed tomography scans. Moreover, we performed macroscopic evaluation of 1 patient who required a second operation.
    Results: Between May 2009 and April 2020, 160 consecutive patients (104 men, 56 women; mean age, 68.6 ± 11 years; range, 39-88 years) underwent thoracic aortic surgery. The overlay technique was successfully performed in 84 cases. The anastomosis sites of the overlay method maintained their morphologic appearance without any clinical complications. The inner diameter ratio of anastomosis/graft was measured by computed tomography, which revealed that the overlay method was not significantly different from inversion and was significantly larger than the felt sandwich method. There was no anastomotic stenosis in the proximal or distal overlay anastomosis. Only 1 patient required a second operation for an enlarged aneurysm of the distal false lumen. We observed that the proximal overlaid adventitia was smoothly attached to the native lumen and was macroscopically indistinguishable from the original intima.
    Conclusions: This study showed the midterm stability of the overlay technique. The midterm outcome was clinically acceptable. No anastomotic stenosis or pseudoaneurysm formation in either the true aortic aneurysm or dissection cases was observed.

    Abstract A 75-year-old woman experienced recurrent mitral regurgitation caused mainly by a shrunken and tethered posterior mitral leaflet with a dilated left ventricle. Posterior leaflet motion was severely restricted. We successfully resolved the tethering and restored valve coaptation and competence using posterior leaflet reconstruction, which is a modified method of posterior leaflet augmentation using autologous pericardium. This technique can recover the posterior leaflet function by improving tissue volume and tethering.
