Article Abstract
Background: Multidetector computed tomography is useful for determining the appropriate transcatheter heart valve (THV) size in patients with severe aortic stenosis who are suboptimal surgical candidates. The relationship between adherence to the recommended CoreValve sizing algorithm and clinical outcomes is not known.
Methods And Results: We evaluated 1023 patients with severe aortic stenosis deemed high or extreme risk for surgery treated with the CoreValve THV. All patients underwent preprocedural multidetector computed tomography, and the scans were reviewed at a central analysis center using standardized software. Compliance to a recommended sizing algorithm was used to identify patients with below-range, in-range, and above-range THV sizing. A device annular sizing ratio (DAR) was also calculated based on the native annulus perimeter and perimeter of the selected THV. Clinical end points included the presence of paravalvular aortic regurgitation evaluated by an independent echocardiographic laboratory. Adherence to the sizing algorithm was highest with a 31-mm THV (92.6%) and lowest with the 23-mm THV (38.5%). Below-range sizing was associated with a higher rate of moderate or severe paravalvular aortic regurgitation (15.3%) than in-range (6.5%) or above-range (10.0%; P<0.001) sizing. Higher DARs were associated with lower rates of moderate or severe paravalvular aortic regurgitation: DAR ≤10%, 17.6%; DAR 10% to 15%, 9.9%; DAR 15% to 20%, 6.3%; and DAR >20%, 4.9%; P<0.001. There was no increase in clinical events associated with higher DARs.
Conclusions: Adherence to a sizing algorithm guided by multidetector computed tomography resulted in lower rates of paravalvular aortic regurgitation after self-expanding transcatheter valve replacement without an increase in complications.

Adult-type ovarian granulosa cell tumors are rare low-grade malignancies characterized by late recurrence and atypical clinical manifestations. This study reports two cases of recurrent adult-type ovarian granulosa cell tumor with distinct timelines and anatomical sites, including one case with two postoperative recurrences. We analyze their imaging features, surgical management, histopathology, postoperative follow-up, and review relevant literature.

Rationale: Whether syngo DynaCT Sine Spin non-contrast flat detector CT (FDCT) imaging is sufficient to rule out intracranial hemorrhage in suspected acute stroke patients is unknown.
Aim: To determine if syngo DynaCT Sine Spin non-contrast FDCT imaging is non-inferior to conventional multidetector CT (MDCT) imaging for the detection and exclusion of intracranial hemorrhages in suspected acute stroke patients.
Sample Size: To enroll 252 participants in three buckets (126 ischemic stroke patients, 126 hemorrhagic stroke patients (including 14 patients with an isolated infratentorial hemorrhage).

An accurate device sizing for percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) can be challenging. Intraprocedural automated LAA evaluation by transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) based on an artificial intelligence-assisted 3D model may facilitate sizing and prediction of C-arm angulation for device implantation in a one-stop-shop procedure. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of automated echocardiographic LAA sizing based on a patient-specific 3D heart model prototype in real-time.
