Retraction: Selective cerebro-myocardial perfusion under mild hypothermia during primary repair for aortic
Insights
This article on aortic coarctation repair has been retracted due to duplicate publication. A similar study by the same authors was published concurrently in another journal.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Pediatric Cardiology
- Artificial Organs
Context:
- Aortic coarctation with ventricular septal defect is a complex congenital heart defect requiring surgical intervention.
- Primary repair strategies aim to address both conditions simultaneously.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the efficacy of selective cerebro-myocardial perfusion under mild hypothermia during primary repair of aortic coarctation with ventricular septal defect.
Summary:
- The article "Selective Cerebro-Myocardial Perfusion Under Mild Hypothermia During Primary Repair for Aortic Coarctation With Ventricular Septal Defect" has been retracted.
- Retraction was due to simultaneous publication of a substantially similar article by the same authors in Pediatric Cardiology.
- This dual publication violates scientific integrity and journal policies.
Impact:
- Retraction highlights the importance of adhering to publication ethics and avoiding duplicate submissions.
- Ensures the integrity of the scientific record and prevents misleading information dissemination.
- Underscores the need for careful manuscript review processes in medical journals.
Abstract:
The following article from Artificial Organs, "Selective Cerebro-Myocardial Perfusion Under Mild Hypothermia During Primary Repair for Aortic Coarctation With Ventricular Septal Defect" by Huiwen Chen, Haifa Hong, Zhongqun Zhu and Jinfen Liu, published online on 2 November 2012 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors, the journal Editor-in-Chief, Paul S. Malchesky, the International Center for Artificial Organs and Transplantation and Wiley Periodicals, Inc. The retraction has been agreed due to simultaneous publication of a substantially similar article, "Continuous Cerebral and Myocardial Perfusion During One-Stage Repair for Aortic Coarctation With Ventricular Septal Defect", by Huiwen Chen, Haifa Hong, Zhongqun Zhu and Jinfen Liu, in Pediatric Cardiology 7 November 2012 [Epub ahead of print].
