Article Abstract
Hereditary protein C deficiency is a chromosomal genetic disease caused by mutations in the protein C gene,which can lead to venous thrombosis and is mostly related to mutations in exons 4-9 and intron 8.Fatal pulmonary embolism caused by mutations in the protein C gene is rare,and the treatment faces great challenges.This article reports a case of fatal pulmonary embolism caused by a frameshift mutation in exon 8 of the protein C gene and summarizes the treatment experience of combining extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (for respiratory and circulatory support) with interventional thrombectomy,providing a basis for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

Association of Ventilatory Ratio with Acute Cor Pulmonale and Mortality in COVID-19 ARDS: A Cohort Study.
J Intensive Care Med
September 2025
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.
