we present a very rare case of partially unroofed coronary sinus without persistent left superior vena cava in a 74 years old female with a history of hypertension, severe myxomatous bileaflet mitral valve prolapse with severe eccentric mitral regurgitation which was diagnosed during cardiac surgery.

Due to the close anatomical relationship of the maxillary sinuses to the dentoalveolar complex, surgical procedures involving these anatomical structures represent a part of a everyday practice in oral surgery and implantology. Those interventions are directed mainly towards the treatment of odontogenic infections of the sinuses as well as surgical treatment of oroantral fistulae and odontogeni...

OBJECTIVE To examine the long-term results of extended endoscopic frontal sinus surgery, including removal of the floor of the frontal sinus (Draf type II procedure) and the median drainage operation (Draf type III procedure or modified Lothrop procedure), for obstructive frontal sinusitis caused by postoperative scar formation, with the emphasis on the long-term success of the median drainage ...

An 8-month-old male with coronary sinus orifice atresia, left superior vena cava, and single ventricle underwent light-guided coronary sinus unroofing concomitant with bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis to circumvent coronary sinus hypertension. During surgery, a 2.25 Fr angioscopic catheter was inserted into the coronary sinus via the left superior vena cava. The coronary sinus, lit by th...

The application of image-guided systems to sinus surgery is gaining in popularity. This study tried to evaluate the efficacy of image-guided surgery (IGS) in the fenestration of the sphenoid sinus in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) who received revision functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). A total of 51 CRS patients who received revision FESS incorporating IGS between January ...
