Abstract: Cancer patients often require placement of long-term central venous catheters for chemotherapy and the administration of other intravenous therapies. Catheter-related thrombosis is a known complication of implantable venous access ports, and has an approximate incidence of 3.8%; regardless of this, primary thromboprophylaxis is not currently recommended in this patient population

Abstract: A 32-years female was referred for surgery for Left atrial myxoma based on symptoms of dyspnea on exertion, palpitations and echocardiography revealing a left atrial mass, mostly likely a left atrial myxoma. On chest X-ray, there was right lower lobe white out which instigated the need to perform a CT chest. On CT Chest a 10.9 × 14.2 × 13.6 cm (AP × TR × CC) cm heterogenously hypodense mass was seen along the posterior and inferior aspect of right hemi thorax. It showed multiple vascular channels within it and broad base towards posterior pleura.

Abstract: Intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) is not uncommon as a complication of infective endocarditis (IE). However, the presence of intracranial haemorrhage would represent as a challenge to surgical intervention. Cardiac surgery intervention carries the potential risk of neurological deterioration perioperatively. Furthermore, the optimal timing of surgery Has been largly debated, and reports on operative outcomes for such cases are scarce.

Abstract: Tricuspid valve endocarditis caused by Acinetobacter baumannii is associated with a high mortality rate because of the bacterium's resistance to almost all available antibiotics. Low and middle income countries (LMICs) face the challenge of successfully treating infective endocarditis because of the delayed diagnosis and having little access to expensive drug regimens.

Abstract: Recent studies suggest that high levels of serum uric acid of very early life are a result of the in-utero environment and may lead to elevated blood pressure in adulthood. However, serum uric acid levels can change throughout life. Researchers investigated the effect of serum uric acid levels in childhood on the blood pressure tracking and analysed blood pressure according to changes in serum uric acid levels in early life.

Abstract: We report a challenging rare case of stage III large thymoma with superior vena cava (SVC) invasion but without SVC syndrome or myasthenic symptoms. The tumor responded poorly to neo-adjuvant VAC chemotherapy so was referred for surgical resection.

Abstract: A 50-years-old male patient, hypertensive, on renal dialysis and with secondary hyperparathyroidism, underwent aortic valve replacement with a #23 mm Sorin bileaflet mechanical prosthesis. Three months later he had a redo operation to fix a perivalvular leak. There was no evidence of infection. A year later he was referred to us with an asymptomatic paraortic mass in a CT Thorax. Further investigation with CT angiogram (Figure 1A) and aortogram (Figure 1B) revealed a

Abstract: Hydatid disease also known as hydatidosis is an endemic parasitic zoonotic disease in some parts of world including Mediterranean basin, South America and Australia, caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Liver is the commonest site for hydatid disease followed by the lungs. The disease is not uncommon although human beings are accidental intermediate hosts in the natural history of hydatidosis but bilateral pulmonary hydatidosis is rare.

Abstract: Postoperative myocardial infarction is not a well-studied topic after lung surgery. From the few reports in the literature, the frequency to range between 0.7% to 2%, but it is difficult to determine an exact standardized incidence, in part due to differences in postoperative presentation, differences in EKG interpretation and a variation in the choice of serum cardiac markers.

Abstract: The European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II (EuroSCORE II) is an updated version of the original EuroSCORE. The goal of this analysis was to compare EuroSCORE II and additive and logistic European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) in predicting early mortality after coronary artery bypass surgery in a single center of Bangladesh.
