Article Abstract
We introduce the innovative use of technetium-99m-labeled macroaggregated albumin to diagnose high-output heart failure in a patient with multiple myeloma with persistent congestion symptoms. Symptom resolution occurred with lenalidomide and steroids. This marks the first clinical use of technetium-99m-labeled macroaggregated albumin for clarifying high-output heart failure etiology.

Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence: A case of an acardiac parabiotic twin.
Int J Surg Case Rep

Introduction: Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion (TRAP) sequence is an uncommon and severe complication of monochorionic twin pregnancies, characterized by an acardiac twin lacking a functional heart and a pump twin that maintains circulation for both.
Presentation Of Case: We report a case involving a 17-year-old primigravida diagnosed with a monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy at 8 weeks gestation. At 35 weeks, ultrasound revealed a teratogenous mass measuring 11 cm × 9.

Background: Posterior wall isolation (PWI) is often performed in addition to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) during ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation (PersAF) to decrease recurrence. However, in studies using radiofrequency (RF) energy, the addition of PWI failed to demonstrate improved outcomes compared to PVI-only, possibly due to challenges in achieving durable PWI. PWI with pulsed-field ablation (PFA) results in high rates of durable PWI.

Aim: Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant disorder that can cause vascular malformations in multiple organs, including the liver. Although liver involvement typically remains asymptomatic until adulthood, severe cases can progress to high-output cardiac failure (HOCF). Although liver transplantation (LT) is a well-established curative option for adult patients with HHT, pediatric data are limited.

An aortocaval fistula caused by rupture of a right common iliac arterial aneurysm is a rare but potentially fatal condition that can progress to acute heart failure and even multi-organ failure due to abnormal shunting of blood through the fistula. We report a case of a patient with such a fistula who was rapidly diagnosed, and following emergent surgical consultation, underwent intra-aortic balloon occlusion prior to laparotomy. This intervention promptly stabilized the patient's circulation by addressing the high-output heart failure.

Leeches are uncommon blood-feeding parasites found in polluted water, posing serious health risks. They typically affect individuals who swim in contaminated streams or drink water that has been contaminated. Once ingested, they can attach in various parts of the upper aero-digestive tract, but leeches in the larynx are rarely observed.
