Article Abstract
Objective: Long-term re-intervention after ultrasound-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (USgHIFU) ablation was reported, and the prediction of non-perfusion volume ratio (NPVR) in differently aged patients with uterine fibroids (UFs) was explored.
Materials And Methods: Patients with UFs who underwent USgHIFU ablation from January 2012 to December 2019 were enrolled and divided into < 40-year-old and ≥ 40-year-old groups. Cox regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of re-intervention rate, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the correlation between NPVR and re-intervention rate.
Results: A total of 2141 patients were enrolled, and 1558 patients were successfully followed up. The 10-year cumulative re-intervention rate was 21.9%, and the < 40-year-old group had a significantly higher rate than the ≥ 40-year-old group (30.8% vs. 19.1%, < 0.001). NPVR was an independent risk factor in both two groups. When the NPVR reached 80.5% in the < 40-year-old group and 75.5% in the ≥ 40-year-old group, the risk of long-term re-intervention was satisfactory.
Conclusion: The long-term outcome of USgHIFU is promising. The re-intervention rate is related to NPVR in differently aged patients. Young patients need a high NPVR to reduce re-intervention risk.

Long term outcomes of thoracic endovascular repair versus optimal medical therapy for uncomplicated Stanford type B aortic dissection: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: The aim of this article is to compare the long-term efficacy of Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) versus Optimal Medical Therapy (OMT) in reducing mortality among adult patients with uncomplicated Stanford type B aortic dissection (uSTBAD).
Methods: An electronic search of PubMed, Cochrane Central and Google Scholar was conducted for studies comparing TEVAR with OMT for mortality in adult patients with uSTBAD. Relevant outcomes, including mortality, aortic rupture, re-intervention, retrograde type A dissection, myocardial infarction and stroke were analyzed and presented as risk ratios (RRs) along with their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).

Objective: Upper-extremity arteriovenous (AV) access often requires re-intervention. However, the frequency of re-interventions and subsequent access failure is not well-characterized. Our goal was to evaluate the frequency and type of re-interventions, risk-factors, and outcomes after AV access creation.

Aim: To investigate the correlation between patient age and long-term re-intervention requirements for symptomatic uterine fibroids through stratified age-group analysis following ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (UsgHIFU) ablation therapy.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study evaluated 443 uterine fibroids from the Liuzhou Maternal and Child Healthcare Hospital (2018-2020). Post-ablation re-intervention trajectories were monitored over 36 months following UsgHIFU.

Background: Aortic coarctation (CoA) accounts for 5%-8% of congenital heart defects, and patients' symptoms can range from neonatal shock to hypertension in adolescence or even adulthood. While surgical repair is the gold standard, catheter-based therapies are increasingly utilized. Despite advancements, complications, and recurrence rates necessitating re-intervention remain concerns.
