Article Abstract

Abnormal connections between systemic and pulmonary vascular systems are rare conditions and have been mostly documented in the pediatric population. We report a case of type B isolated arterial pulmonary malinosculation in an adult. The patient's chief complaint was intermittent hemoptysis during physical exertion. He had a dual arterial supply from the anomalous systemic artery and the pulmonary artery to the left lower lobe and the venous drainage was through the pulmonary vein. The bronchial connection appeared normal. The fistula was identified on chest computed tomography and was treated endovascularly. The patient remains asymptomatic at 1-year follow-up.

Resistance arteries, which include small arteries and arterioles, play essential roles in regulating blood pressure and tissue perfusion. Dysfunction in these arteries can lead to various cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, and heart failure, as well as neurovascular conditions. The examination of human resistance arteries is crucial for understanding cardiovascular disease mechanisms and developing targeted therapeutic strategies.

Isolated spinal aneurysms with spontaneous regression.

Neurosurg Rev

September 2025

Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology, University Hospital Tübingen, Tübingen, Germany.

Purpose: To share our clinical experience with conservative management of isolated spinal arterial aneurysms (ISAs) and to identify clinical scenarios where conservative management may be appropriate, in the context of a literature review.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of spinal angiograms from two German neuroradiology centers and conducted a systematic literature review of reported ISA cases. We analyzed demographics, clinical presentation, imaging findings, treatments, and outcomes.

Background: Albumin and BMI have been used as nutritional markers of morbidity and mortality. Recently, prealbumin has grown in interest in other surgical disciplines, but less so in cardiac surgery. Thus, this study examined the association between prealbumin and bleeding, mortality, and readmission in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients.

Relieving platelet inhibition using a novel bi-specific antibody: A novel approach for circumventing the platelet storage lesion.

Background: Human platelets experience structural and functional deterioration during extra-corporeal storage at either room temperature or in the cold, impairing their reactivity and diminishing their hemostatic effectiveness following transfusion. PECAM-1 is an inhibitory receptor on platelets that exerts its inhibitory effects via phosphorylation of tyrosine residues that lie within its cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs). The purpose of this investigation was to attempt to restore platelet reactivity by impairing the inhibitory activity of PECAM-1.

Background: The ideal harvesting techniques of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) are elusive. We assessed the safety and resource utilisation efficiency of semi-skeletonised LIMA harvesting techniques, focusing on length, harvesting time, and the number of Ligaclips used compared to skeletonised techniques within a single surgeon's practice.

Methods: The BANGABANDHU (Bangladeshi Atherosclerosis Biobank AND Hub) study was an ambispective observational cohort that evaluated age- and sex-matched 2209 adult Bangladeshi isolated CABG population from 1st January 2015 to 31 January 2025.
