This report presents an unusual case of life-threatening massive bleeding in the pulmonary trunk adjacent to the right ventricular outflow tract during resection of a large primary mediastinal nonseminomatous germ cell tumor (PMNSGCT) in the absence of cardiovascular surgeons. The patient was a 21-year-old male whose large mediastinal tumor was diagnosed as an extragonadal PMNSGCT, which was a mixture of a yolk sac tumor and an immature teratoma. Generally, chemotherapy causes extensive peripheral tumor necrosis of PMNSGCTs, thus enabling their complete resection. In this case, surgeons considered the resection as possible by dissecting the peripheral necrotic tissue, and cardiovascular surgeons were thus not consulted. Enlarged modified left hemi-clamshell thoracotomy (HCST) was applied. While dissecting around the pulmonary trunk, the assistant-held forceps accidentally touched the tensed pulmonary trunk, which caused bleeding. We immediately contacted the collaborating cardiac surgery department at another hospital for assistance. Meanwhile, massive bleeding occurred, leading to hemorrhagic shock, and thus direct cardiac massage was required. Our team managed to establish a venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). After the arrival of cardiac surgeons, a suction circuit was added, and bleeding was stopped using sutures. Finally, complete resection of the tumor was achieved, and the patient awoke the following day without any brain dysfunction. After discussions with all the members involved in the surgery, we developed an in-hospital consensus on how to perform surgeries for large thoracic tumors safely at our cancer center without the cardiovascular surgery department. We herein present the case and consensus and discuss the relevant issues.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is an intractable vascular disease characterized by a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance caused by pulmonary vascular remodeling, which ultimately leads to right-sided heart failure. PAH remains incurable, despite the development of PAH-targeted therapeutics centered on pulmonary artery relaxants. It is necessary to identify the target molecules that contribute to pulmonary artery remodeling. Read More

J Vasc Surg 2022 Aug 6. Epub 2022 Aug 6.

Vascular Surgery, Department of Experimental, Diagnostic and Specialty Medicine, University of Bologna, IRCCS Sant'Orsola-Malpighi Hospital, Bologna, Italy.

Introduction: Penetrating Aortic Ulcer (PAU) is determined by atherosclerotic degeneration of the tunica media with disruption of the intima. Usually it is detected in the thoracic aorta, with only few series describing its abdominal location. Aim of the study was to report early and late outcomes of the endovascular repair of complicated infrarenal PAU (a-PAU) by aorto-bi-iliac endograft and embolization. Read More

Background: Total-anomalous-pulmonary-venous-connection (TAPVC) with functional single-ventricle is a risk factor for mortality during staged-palliation. This study aimed to assess TAPVC's impact on staged-palliation-outcomes.

Methods: In a total of 602-patients with functional single-ventricle who underwent staged-I-palliation (S1P) at our center between 2001 and 2020, 39-patients (6. Read More

Division of Rheumatology, Department of Internal Medicine, Marmara University, School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkey.

Objectives: Behçet's Disease (BD) is a unique systemic vasculitis mainly involving veins in contrast to other vasculitides. Prior studies showed that pulmonary arteries (PA) have a similar structure to systemic veins. In this study, we aimed to assess PA wall thickness by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in BD patients compared with healthy controls (HC) and patients with non-inflammatory pulmonary embolism (NIPE).
