Open DOI
‘Double-dunk’ implantation of valveless ring-reinforced PTFE conduits for neonatal truncus arteriosus repair
This case describes a neonatal truncus arteriosus repair using an 8 mm ring-reinforced, valved polytetrafluoroethylene conduit for right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction via the ‘double-dunk’ technique. The diagnosis was establis...

En bloc excision of a large hydatid cyst originating from the posterior wall of the left ventricle
Cardiac involvement in hydatid disease is rare and accounts for only a small proportion of all hydatid cyst cases. Owing to the risk of life-threatening complications, including compression of cardiac chambers, cyst rupture and anaphylac...

Robotic selective thoracic sympathectomy for hyperhidrosis: refined technique and anatomical variation
Primary hyperhidrosis substantially impairs quality of life. Conventional sympathectomy risks compensatory hyperhidrosis through trunk disruption, whilst selective sympathectomy preserves the trunk while dividing preganglionic and postga...

Endoscopic secondary chordae transfer and edge-to-edge repair for the treatment of asymmetric anterior leaflet prolapse
Anterior leaflet prolapse remains a challenging lesion in mitral valve repair, particularly in the presence of asymmetric degenerative disease. We present the case of a 59-year-old patient with severe mitral regurgitation due to asymmetr...

Cardiac intimal sarcoma presenting with pseudo-pulmonary embolism: surgical debulking, RVOT reconstruction and pulmonary valve replacement
Intimal sarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal tumour arising in large blood vessels of systemic and pulmonary circulation, depicted as undifferentiated and aggressive. Clinical presentation of these cardiac masses is often subtle, making mi...

Transverse infundibulotomy for resection of a right ventricular outflow tract myxoma
A 25-year-old asymptomatic 64 kg female with an incidental heart murmur was found, on echocardiography, to have a 2 cm echogenic mass beneath the pulmonary valve, with a peak gradient of 11 mmHg and mild pulmonic regurgitation. Gated com...

Segmental sternal resection for metastatic ovarian cancer: surgical technique and clinical outcome
Isolated sternal recurrence from ovarian cancer is exceptionally rare, and its optimal surgical management remains poorly defined. In selected patients with a prolonged disease-free interval and a solitary metastatic lesion, radical rese...

Cervical aortic arch with severe left ventricular dysfunction in a neonate: successful repair using whole-body perfusion
The cervical aortic arch, first described by Reid, is a rare congenital anomaly of the aortic arch. We report the surgical management of a neonate with a right cervical arch with coarctation, a contralateral descending thoracic aorta, an...

Concomitant orthotopic heart transplantation and repair of left partial anomalous pulmonary venous return
We report the technique of concomitant heart transplantation and repair of left partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR). The patient was a 64-year-old male with a past medical history significant for non-ischaemic cardiomyopath...

Double-switch procedure – Mustard atrial switch, arterial switch and ventricular septal defect closure
The double-switch operation, which combines atrial and arterial switch procedures, provides the best anatomical repair for congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries [1]. The available atrial switch options are the Sennin...
