This article has been retracted at the request of the author and/or the Editor-in-Chief. Please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).
Reason: The authors have described the same case that had already appeared in Eur. J. Cardio-Thorac. Surg., 34 (2008) 903, doi:10.1016/j.ejcts.2008.06.043. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and we apologize to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
