    Abstract Background: Degos disease, also known as malignant atrophic papulosis, is characterised by cutaneous manifestations due to chronic thrombo-obliterative vasculopathy. There have been reports of the rare late-onset Degos disease complicated by constrictive pericarditis (CP). This study reports a case of CP caused by Degos disease that developed 20 years after diagnosis.
    Case presentation: A 62-year-old woman who had been taking aspirin for 20 years for Degos disease was hospitalised for worsening of heart failure. The patient was diagnosed with CP and underwent pericardiectomy. Pathological findings suggested the involvement of Degos disease. The postoperative course was uneventful, and her heart failure and Degos disease did not worsen.
    Conclusions: The study findings suggests that Degos disease can cause long-term CP. Aspirin effectively inhibited the progression of Degos disease, and surgical treatment was necessary when heart failure due to CP was refractory to treatment.

    Abstract A 70-year-old woman, who was taking prednisolone to treat Takayasu arteritis, underwent surgery for aortic regurgitation and aneurysm of the ascending aorta. The probe of the transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) could not be inserted due to resistance during anesthesia induction and was inserted after starting cardiopulmonary bypass. The right pneumothorax was observed during surgery. After surgery, fever and a high C-reactive protein level continued, and a computed tomography (CT) examination revealed right thoracic empyema together with free air around the esophagus. The esophageal perforation diagnosis was confirmed by upper endoscopy. Esophageal leakage continued despite emergency esophageal repair and enterostomy. Although esophagectomy was performed 2 months later, the patient died 6 months after cardiac surgery due to sepsis. Thus, esophageal perforation related to TEE in open-heart surgery was considered to be associated with a poor prognosis.

    Abstract A 27-year-old Caucasian male traveler with well-controlled asthma was admitted to our hospital because of severe heart failure (HF). He had a history of cocaine use. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) showed severe diffuse hypokinesis of the left ventricle (LV) and a large mobile thrombus in the LV. He was treated with diuretics, inotropes and anticoagulants which led to small improvements in the HF and LV thrombus, however, he needed to undergo left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation and surgical removal of a residual LV thrombus due to inotrope-dependency.It is necessary to consider the possibility of cocaine or illicit drug use in a young individual with cardiovascular disease or sudden death even in Japan where cocaine and drugs are prohibited by law, as recreational drug use has been increasing in many countries around the world.

    Abstract In operations for acute Stanford type A aortic dissection, several cannulation options are available for cardiopulmonary bypass arterial perfusion. These are femoral, axillary, Seldinger ascending aortic, transapical, and transatrial, each of which has advantages and drawbacks. We describe our surgical technique of direct true lumen cannulation ("Samurai" cannulation), which represents an easy, safe, and practical option in operations for acute type A aortic dissection.

    Abstract Background: Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. massiliense (MMA) comprises a group of non-tuberculous, rapidly growing mycobacteria. Although MMA can cause pulmonary diseases, surgical site infections, and disseminated diseases, aortic endograft infection has not been reported. Here, we describe the first case of aortic endograft infection caused by MMA.
    Case presentation: Two months after stent-graft insertion for an abdominal aortic aneurysm, an 85-year-old man was admitted with fever and abdominal pain and was diagnosed with aortic endograft infection. Despite 14 days of meropenem and vancomycin intravenous administration, periaortic fluid pooling increased as compared to that before antibiotic administration. The abscess was drained, and fluorescent acid-fast staining of the abscess fluid revealed bacilli. We conducted genetic tests on the genes hsp65, rpoB, and sodA, performed Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), and identified the organism as MMA. Intravenous imipenem-cilastatin (IPM/CS), amikacin (AMK), and oral clarithromycin (CAM) were administered. After 2 months, oral CAM and sitafloxacin were administered because the abscess had decreased in size. However, after 6 weeks, the abscess increased in size again. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the drainage fluid from the abscess resulted in the isolation of an MMA strain that had acquired resistance to CAM. Intravenous IPM/CS, AMK, and oral linezolid were added to the treatment regimen along with oral CAM and STFX. However, he was not fully cured and died 6 months later. Neither the full-length erythromycin ribosome methyltransferase (erm)(41) gene nor the rrl or rpIV gene mutations were found by Sanger sequencing in the pre- and post-treatment strains. Whole-genome sequence analysis of the post-treatment strain revealed mutations in genes with no previous reports of association with macrolide resistance.
    Conclusions: Aortic endograft infection caused by MMA strain is extremely rare; nonetheless, MMA should be suspected as the causative microorganism when broad-spectrum antimicrobials are ineffective.

    Abstract We report a rare case of Stanford type A acute aortic dissection involving an aberrant right subclavian artery and originating from Kommerell's diverticulum in a 52-year old man. Initially, as an emergency measure, total arch replacement and right axillary artery reconstruction were performed. However, due to the subsequent enlargement of the false lumen, thoracic endovascular aortic repair and right subclavian artery coiling were performed successfully 5 months after the first operation. Herein, we describe surgical management approaches for the treatment of a Stanford type A acute aortic dissection with aberrant right subclavian artery.
