    Abstract (1) Background: The goal of this study was to determine the incidence of in-hospital mortality and to investigate its predictors in patients with a primary intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) undergoing endotracheal intubation. (2) Methods: This retrospective study, between July 2018 to July 2019, recruited patients who were diagnosed with a primary ICH and who were intubated during treatment in our institution. The outcome variable was in-hospital mortality, known as 30-day mortality, in patients with ICH undergoing endotracheal intubation. Multivariable analyses were performed to identify the prediction of in-hospital mortality. (3) Results: A total of 180 patients with ICH undergoing endotracheal intubation were included, with a mean (SD) age of 62.64 (13.82) years. A total of 73.33% were female, and 71.11% of the patients were indicated for intubation due to neurological reasons. The in-hospital mortality rate, following endotracheal intubation, was 58.33%. In a reduced model using a stepwise backward selection strategy with

    Abstract We present a 60-year-old female diagnosed with a giant trigeminal tumor (5.2*6.4*8.2 cm) situated in the middle cranial fossa and nasopharyngeal area. The patient was operated on by endoscopic endonasal transmaxillary, transpterygoid and infratemporal approaches. Postoperatively she was stable, with no neurologic complication and no cerebrospinal fluid leakage. We review the literature on extremely large trigeminal schwannomas.

    Abstract Introduction: There are scanty reports of the risk factors for pulmonary hypertensive crisis and low cardiac output syndrome after the operative repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). We aim to evaluate early surgical outcomes of TAPVC and risk factors for pulmonary hypertensive crisis and low cardiac output syndrome.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective medical record review for all patients undergoing operative repair of TAPVC within 5 years. Outcome variables included pulmonary hypertensive crisis, low cardiac output syndrome and early mortality.
    Results: Of 58 patients, we documented 77.59% supracardiac, 20.69% cardiac and 1.72% mixed site of connection. About 86.21% patients underwent elective surgery, and 13.79% patients required emergency surgery. Incidence rates were 27.59% for pulmonary hypertensive crisis and 6.90% for low cardiac output syndrome. Body weight below 6 kg, pneumonia, tachycardia, hepatomegaly, preoperative pulmonary congestion on chest x-ray, preoperative elevated mean pulmonary artery pressure, preoperative pulmonary venous obstruction, emergency surgery and prolonged aortic cross-clamping time were significant risk factors for postoperative pulmonary hypertensive crisis. Significant risk factors for postoperative low cardiac output syndrome included pneumonia, prolonged duration of preoperative mechanical ventilation and prolonged aortic cross-clamping time.
    Conclusion: The early outcome of surgical repair of TAPVC was acceptable, with 96.55% survival rate. This current analysis suggests that a thorough evaluation of all preoperative and operative characteristics is imperative to achieve best medical and surgical outcomes.

    Abstract Background: The anatomical parameters of the acetabulum vary among races and geographical regions. Multislice Computed Tomography (CT) has proven to be a practical approach to assess morphological parameters of the acetabulum. The purpose of this study was to explore morphological characteristics of the acetabulum measured by CT scans in Vietnamese adults.
    Methods: Thirty-five consecutive patients aged 18 years and older received indications and eligibility for total hip replacement surgery. Sixty-three acetabulum were examined with multislice computed tomographic system (CT) with multiplanar reconstruction (MPR). Measured morphometric parameters of acetabulum included acetabular inclination angle (AIA), acetabular anteversion angle (AAA), acetabular angle of sharp (AAS), sagittal acetabular angle (SAA), acetabular horizontal offset (AHO), transverse acetabular ligament anteversion (TALA), transverse acetabular ligament inclination (TALI), acetabular depth (ADe), acetabular depth ratio (ADr) and acetabular diameter (ADi).
    Results: The mean values of acetabular diameter, femoral head diameter, AIA, AAA, AAS, SAA, TALA, TALI, AHO, ADe, ADr were 50.22±3.56 mm, 43.54±3.68 mm, 40.27±5.09 mm, 13.30±5.54 mm, 39.46±5.41 mm, 26.38±9.01 mm, 9.49±3.92 mm, 47.70±6.73 mm, 3.06±0.37 mm, 18.62±2.95 mm and 309.60±41.87 mm.
    Conclusion: Our initial data has showed morphological characteristics of the acetabulum in Vietnamese adults, different from the populations from other parts of world. Also, significant correlation between the orientation of the acetabulum and the transverse acetabular ligament was documented.

    Abstract Background: This study aims to describe our new experience with single-port totally endoscopic thyroidectomy via the axillary approach in patients with unilateral thyroid benign tumors. In parallel with that, we also discuss here the challenges and novelty highlights we have confronted and solved and the details of our operative technique.
    Methods: Between August 2018 and May 2020, the study involved 54 patients who underwent a single-port single-incision endoscopic thyroidectomy via the axillary approach for benign thyroid tumor at the National Hospital of Endocrinology (Hanoi, Vietnam). Surgical patient indications were in working age, goiter classification of grade 1 or grade 2, the thyroid with mononuclear or multinucleated, lesion diameter of less than 4 cm, unilateral thyroid benign lesion and no previous history of neck surgery or irradiation.
    Results: No mortality was observed. Morbidities included transient voice change in 8 patients, swallowing disorders in 2 patients, transient skin paresthesia in 2 patients and wound hematoma in 2 patients. Mean amount of postoperative drainage was 70.2 mL, mean duration of postoperative drainage was 2.7 days, and mean postoperative hospital day was 6.6 days. Mean total operation time was 66.0 minutes and mean blood loss was 13.3 mL. Regarding medium-term follow-up outcomes following surgery, we recorded the hypothyroidism in 3 patients (5.6%) and the hypocalcemia in 1 case (1.8%). Most patients felt normal neck movement and sensation (79.6%), 3 patients were painful (5.6%) and 8 those were numb (14.8%). We saw the soft incision scar in 35 patients (64.8%), convex scar in 14 patients (25.9%), and hard scar in 5 patients (9.3%).
    Conclusion: Single-port endoscopic thyroidectomy via axillary approach is a safe and feasible treatment option for removing benign thyroid tumor, delivering favorable surgical outcomes with ideal cosmetic effect and reduction in injury to the anterior neck tissue.

    Abstract Background: In-hospital mortality after emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains an important issue that has needed considerable attention in recent years as the mortality rate is still high and prevention factors are not yet optimal. Our study presents the first largest cohort of emergency CABG from one large institution in Vietnam with the primary aim of comparing a large variety of pre-, intra-and post-operative parameters between in-hospital mortality patients and in-hospital survival patients and investigate risk factors of in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing emergency CABG.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective evaluation of prospectively collected data in patients undergoing emergency CABG at the Hanoi Heart Hospital (Hanoi, Vietnam) from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2019. Primary outcome variable was in-hospital mortality.
    Results: A total of 71 patients were included in final analysis. The mean age of the cohort was 68.68 years (± 9.28, range 38-86). The mean weight, height and body mass index were 54.35 kg (± 9.17, range 37-77), 158.96 (±7.64, range 145-179) and 21.48 kg/m
    Conclusion: Our hospital mortality rate after emergency CABG was relatively high. An optimal preventive strategy in emergency CABG management should target significant factors combined with other previously identified risk factors to reduce in-hospital mortality.

    Abstract Idiopathic aneurysm of pulmonary artery is a rare disorder with unclear pathology and mechanism. The indications for its surgical treatment are not clear, especially in cases with normal pulmonary pressure. We report the case of a 64-year-old man with a giant idiopathic aneurysm of the pulmonary artery (max diameter 97.3 mm). The patient successfully underwent surgical treatment with the aneurysmorrhaphy in our Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery. The patient was extubated successfully within 6 hours of the operation and discharged hospital after 10 days. In cases with giant aneurysm of the pulmonary artery, the aneurysmorrhaphy may be considered as a safe and feasible choice.

    Abstract Background: The evidence for the efficacy and safety of balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) in treating the Vietnamese patients is sparse. There is no convincing evidence regarding BKP's efficacy in Vietnamese patients, especially in the patients with thoracic osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). This article aims to evaluate the outcomes of restoring the body height of the compressed thoracic vertebrae in patients undergoing BKP.
    Methods: We prospectively enrolled 65 consecutive patients with thoracic VCFs (73 vertebrae) due to osteoporosis who were treated with BKP between June 2018 and May 2019.
    Results: A trocar was inserted through the pedicle in 84.9% (62/73) and beside the pedicle in 15.1% (11/73). The mean amount of mixed cement injected was 4.1 ± 1.1 mL (range, 1.5-7 mL). Cement leakage was radiographically confirmed in 30.8% of 65 patients. Among patients with complications caused by cement extravasation, the leakage was through the anterior margin of the vertebrae in 15.4%, through the vertebral disc in 12.3%, and through the posterior margin of the vertebrae in 3.1%. In the last 3.1% of patients, there was no clinically notable lesions of the nerve roots or spinal cord. The mean visual analog scale score decreased significantly from 7.3 ± 1.1 preoperatively to 3.3 ± 0.6 at 24 hours after surgery, and then to 1.2 ± 1.1 at 3 months after surgery (
    Conclusions: BKP is a minimally invasive treatment effective for immediate pain relief, early motor rehabilitation, and humpback correction. The present study provided convincing evidence to support the use of BKP by spine surgeons and clinical specialists in treating osteoporotic thoracic VCFs in Vietnamese patients.

    Abstract To date, despite improvement in survival rate following a Fontan operation, postoperative prolonged pleural effusion (PPE) has still remained a confounding complication of this procedure, which significantly contributes to morbidity and prolonged hospitalization. Our study aims to investigate risk factors associated with PPE after the extracardiac Fontan operation. From August 2012 to December 2019, we obtained clinical data from the medical records of 145 consecutive patients who were diagnosed with single-ventricle lesions and received an extracardiac Fontan operation at the E Hospital (Hanoi, Vietnam). PPE was defined as the need for a chest tube for > 14 days. Patients were divided into two groups, those with PPE (n = 29, 20.00%) and those without PPE (n = 116, 80.00%). During the pre-Fontan evaluation, significant differences between two groups were observed in PPE (p = 0.00), chylothorax (p = 0.045), pleurodesis (p = 0.045), position of thoracic and abdominal organs (p = 0.018), atrioventricular (AV) valve regurgitation (p = 0.030), and large aortapulmonary circulation (p = 0.041). During the Fontan evaluation, significant differences among two groups were seen in aortic cross-clamp time (p = 0.04), cardiopulmonary bypass time (p = 0.014), and mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) at Fontan (p = 0.0072). In multivariable analysis with logistic regression, a reduced model including independent predictors for PPE was found to be the NYHA class III (OR 4.93, 95% CI 1.19-20.50, p = 0.028), double-outlet right ventricle (DORV) with transposition of great arteries (TGA) (OR 31.00, 95% CI 1.35-711.63, p = 0.032), AV valve regurgitation (OR 70.73, 95% CI 3.28-1523.28, p = 0.007), ventricle-to-pulmonary artery shunt (OR 8.29, 95% CI 1.60-42.78, p = 0.012), PAI (OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.97-0.99, p = 0.002) at pre-Fontan, while, at Fontan, high PAP (OR 1.24, 95% CI 1.01-1.53, p = 0.046) was an independent predictor for PPE. In conclusion, the incidence of PPE was relatively low. The NYHA class III, primary anatomical diagnosis of DORV with TGA, pre-Fontan AV valve regurgitation, the existence of pre-Fontan ventricle-to-pulmonary artery shunt, low pulmonary artery index (PAI), and high PAP in the operation were identified as independent risk factors to predict PPE following a Fontan operation. As prior studies also investigated various risk factors influencing PPE, a preventive strategy that targets these factors combined with previous identified other risk factors might reduce the PPE incidence.

    Abstract Pulmonary embolism, a serious complication after trauma, may cause sudden death. We discuss an unusual case of 65-year-old woman who had traffic accident with liver injury and open fracture of both tibia and fibula on the right side. She was diagnosed with massive pulmonary embolism on the second day after accident and successfully underwent emergency surgical embolectomy from bilateral pulmonary arteries. There were no postoperative complications. The patient's good state of health was recorded after 13 months of surgery. Surgical pulmonary embolectomy for such a multi-trauma patient provides valuable experience not only for our institution but also for the countries having similar resource-limited conditions.
