Temporary epicardial pacing wire placement is a common procedure in cardiac surgery. However, it is difficult to perform in totally endoscopic cardiac surgery. We describe a simple new technique to place temporary epicardial pacing wires quickly and safely. 

Temporary epicardial pacing wire placement in totally endoscopic cardiac surgery.

Secondary tricuspid regurgitation will be aggravated if left uncorrected during the initial surgery. Recently, an aggressive strategy of routine concomitant tricuspid valve repair has been warranted. Follow this strategy, routine concomitant thoracoscopic tricuspid valve repair was performed and the surgical effect and postoperative residual TR were reviewed.

The risk factors of the early postoperative residual tricuspid regurgitation after concomitant thoracoscopic tricuspid valve repair.

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) accounts for a large proportion of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) deaths. Early prediction of RHD can help with timely and appropriate treatment to improve survival outcomes, and the XGBoost machine learning technology can be used to identify predictive factors; however, its use has been limited in the past. We compared the performance of logistic regression and XGBoost in predicting hospital mortality among patients with RHD from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database.

Predicting ICU Mortality in Rheumatic Heart Disease: Comparison of XGBoost and Logistic Regression.

Cannulation through the femoral artery is the preferred method of establishing peripheral cardiopulmonary bypass in minimally invasive totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery. However, faced with the contraindication of femoral artery cannulation, modified ascending aortic cannulation is an alternative approach to minimally invasive totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery.
