    Abstract We report a case of a fatal retrograde Type A aortic dissection following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). The patient was diagnosed with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) only postoperatively, which is a relative contraindication for TEVAR. The patient had no major or minor criteria for vEDS. This case report emphasizes pitfalls of TEVAR in patients with a connective tissue disorder.

    Abstract Left main coronary artery (LMCA) aneurysm is a very rare condition that usually requires surgical treatment. Although there is no consensus on the standard surgical technique, aneurysmal ligation with coronary artery bypass grafting is commonly used. This report presents a case of a giant LMCA aneurysm for which an alternative surgical approach was performed. The aneurysm was incised and partially resected. An interposition right internal thoracic artery graft from the LMCA to the left circumflex coronary artery was placed together with a left internal thoracic artery and free right internal thoracic artery graft. Postoperative imaging showed good patency of all grafts. This case demonstrates an effective approach for the surgical treatment of LMCA aneurysm that offers an alternative when other techniques are not desirable.

    Abstract Background: Postoperative cardio-surgical haemostatic management is centre-specific and experience-based, which leads to a variability in patient care. This study aimed to identify which postoperative haemostatic interventions may reduce the need for reoperation after cardiac surgery in adults.
    Methods: A retrospective case-control study in a tertiary centre. Adult, elective, primary cardiac surgical patients were selected (
    Results: Rate of cardiac surgical reoperation was 2% in the study population. Three variables were found to be associated with cardiac reoperation: preoperative administration of fresh frozen plasma (OR 5.45, CI 2.34-12.35), cumulative volume of chest tube drainage and cumulative count of packed red blood cells transfusion on ICU (OR 1.98, CI 1.56-2.51).
    Conclusion: No significant difference among specific types of postoperative haemostatic interventions was found between patients who needed reoperation and those who did not. Perioperative transfusion of fresh frozen plasma, postoperative transfusion of packed cells and cumulative volume of chest tube drainage were associated with reoperation after cardiac surgery. These variables could help predict the need for reoperation.

    Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia caused by structural remodeling of the atria, also called atrial myopathy. Current therapies only target the electrical abnormalities and not the underlying atrial myopathy. For the development of novel therapies, a reproducible large animal model of atrial myopathy is necessary. This paper presents a model of sterile pericarditis-induced atrial myopathy in Aachener minipigs. Sterile pericarditis was induced by spraying sterile talcum and leaving a layer of sterile gauze over the atrial epicardial surface. This led to inflammation and fibrosis, two crucial components of the pathophysiology of atrial myopathy, making the atria susceptible to the induction of AF. Two pacemaker electrodes were positioned epicardially on each atrium and connected to two pacemakers from different manufacturers. This strategy allowed for repeated non-invasive atrial programmed stimulation to determine the inducibility of AF at specified time points after surgery. Different protocols to test AF inducibility were used. The advantages of this model are its clinical relevance, with AF inducibility and the rapid induction of inflammation and fibrosis-both present in atrial myopathy-and its reproducibility. The model will be useful in the development of novel therapies targeting atrial myopathy and AF.
