Article Abstract

We present a new technique, which is the distal perfusion first technique, for chronic dissection with dilatation of the aorta. Using a "side-ways-tau shaped" incision, this technique allows single-staged repair, full-time antegrade perfusion, less possibility of mesenteric malperfusion and cerebral embolism.

Aims: Fetal circulation undergoes complex changes in congenital heart disease (CHD) that are challenging to assess with fetal echocardiography. This study aimed to assess clinical feasibility and diagnostic value of 4D flow cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in fetal CHD.

Methods And Results: Pregnant women in advanced third trimester pregnancy with fetal CHD were prospectively recruited for fetal CMR between 08/2021 and 11/2024.

Introduction: High tie ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) is the standard technique in oncological low anterior rectal resection. However, high tie may reduce blood flow to the colon, impairing distal tissue perfusion, anastomotic healing, and potentially causing necrosis. Therefore, a modified high tie technique (MoHiTi) was developed that preserves the arterial arc from the left colic artery via the proximal IMA to the first sigmoidal branch.

Objective: Characterisation of thrombus is important for guiding treatment in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). This study presents a novel scoring system for visual assessment of CTEPH on CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA), incorporating both disease location and extent to determine the impact on survival outcomes.

Methods: Patients with CTEPH were identified retrospectively from the ASPIRE registry.

Functional Thoracic MRI: Recent Advances in Pulmonary Assessment.

Radiol Cardiothorac Imaging

Functional thoracic MRI provides regional assessment of the three principal components of lung function: ventilation, perfusion, and gas exchange. It offers advantages over pulmonary function tests like spirometry, which yield only global measurements. MRI enables comprehensive evaluation of respiratory mechanics, including chest wall and diaphragm motion, dynamic large airway instability, and lung ventilation using various contrast mechanisms and gas agents.

Introduction And Importance: Albeit rare, spontaneous recanalization after common carotid artery (CCA) occlusion is an important medical phenomenon, as it can lead to increased blood flow to the brain tissue, thereby improving cerebral perfusion. However, it also increases the risk of reperfusion injury and distal cerebral embolism.

Case Presentation: The patient was a 54-year-old man who presented with sudden right-sided limb weakness and speech impairment.
