Article Abstract
Pulmonary embolism is the third most common cause of cardiovascular emergency. Risk stratification is crucial in the clinical and therapeutic management of these patients. The latest European guidelines introduced a new classification based on short-term mortality risk stratification, dividing patients into four categories (high, intermediate-high, intermediate-low and low risk). Despite the limited evidence in this field, the percutaneous treatment of pulmonary embolism represents an option of interest; however, correct patient selection and device choice should be better investigated. In this article, we present two case reports of patients with intermediate-high-risk and high-risk pulmonary embolism treated with the EkoSonic Endovascular System (EKOS Corp., Bothell, WA, USA) and the FlowTriever System (Inari Medical, Irvine, CA, USA), respectively.

Association of Ventilatory Ratio with Acute Cor Pulmonale and Mortality in COVID-19 ARDS: A Cohort Study.
J Intensive Care Med

Departamento de Medicina Intensiva, Facultad de Medicina, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago, Chile.
PurposeAn elevated ventilatory ratio (VR) and acute cor pulmonale (ACP) are associated with mortality in ARDS patients. The primary aim of this study was to assess the association between VR and ACP in patients with COVID-19-related ARDS (C-ARDS). The secondary objectives were to analyze the association between VR and ICU mortality, describe VR temporal behavior in survivors and non-survivors, and evaluate the association between VR and pulmonary embolism.

Purpose: To establish an explainable machine learning (ML) approach using patient-related and noncontrast chest CT-derived features to predict the contrast material arrival time (TARR) in CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA).
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included consecutive patients referred for CTPA between September 2023 to October 2024. Sixteen clinical and 17 chest CT-derived parameters were used as inputs for the ML approach, which employed recursive feature elimination for feature selection and XGBoost with SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) for explainable modeling.

Aims: To examine the association between elevated body mass index (BMI) and a wide range of vascular and cardiometabolic diseases in men and women.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from the IQVIA Disease Analyzer database, comprising anonymized records from over 3000 office-based physicians in Germany. We included 233 730 patients aged ≥40 years with at least one recorded BMI measurement between January 2005 and December 2023.

Background And Objective: Surgery of renal cell cancer (RCC) with a caval thrombus (CT) is associated with significant morbidity, particularly regarding thromboembolic complications. There are no data or recommendations regarding the potential benefit of preoperative anticoagulants. We aimed to assess the usefulness of preoperative anticoagulation regarding surgical outcomes and thromboembolic events in patients undergoing nephrectomy with inferior vena cava thrombectomy.
