Serotonin syndrome following cardiac surgery.

abstract：:The surgical management of the aortic arch pathologies is controversial. Primary anastomosis and patch aortoplasties combined with end-to-end anastomosis have some complications like recurrence and aneurysm formation. Surgical repair of apical muscular (Swiss-cheese) defects is also still under debate. A 6-year-old pa...
