Background: This study aimed to assess how embolization endpoints affect the efficacy of uterine artery embolization (UAE) for adenomyosis.
Methods: In this single-center retrospective cohort study, patients treated with UAE from 2014-2018 received the standard embolization endpoint (SEE), while those from 2019-2022 received the delayed embolization endpoint (DEE). Clinical outcomes, including embolic microsphere volume, uterine volume, CA125 levels, hemoglobin, menstrual flow, dysmenorrhea, and postoperative complications, were compared between the groups.
Results: At six months post-procedure, all patients showed significant improvement in clinical indicators (p < 0.01). Group DEE used significantly more embolic microspheres than Group SEE (p < 0.01) and achieved greater reductions in CA125, menstrual volume, and dysmenorrhea (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in postoperative uterine volume, hemoglobin, or complication rates between the groups (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: UAE is a safe and effective treatment for adenomyosis. Compared to the standard approach, the delayed embolization endpoint provides superior symptom relief and warrants broader clinical adoption.

Purpose: We retrospectively analyzed the effect of coil type on the number of coils used and the procedure time in pre-Fontan coil embolization of collateral arteries.
Material And Methods: Twelve patients with congenital heart disease underwent coil embolization before Fontan surgery between 2010 and 2021. They were divided into 2 groups.

Intra-aneurysmal thrombus formation is crucial for the healing of endovascularly treated aneurysms. This study evaluated whether T1-weighted black blood imaging can monitor thrombus formation by examining the relationship between chronological signal intensity changes and aneurysm occlusion status after flow diverter stenting and coil embolization. We retrospectively analyzed 78 patients with 83 aneurysms (flow diverter stenting: 28, coil embolization: 55) who underwent T1-weighted black blood imaging at 1 week, 3 months, and 6 months post-treatment.

Objective: Assess results of simultaneous ligation and embolization for caverno-venous leakage (CVL) in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) resistant to 5-Phosphodiesterase inhibitors.
Patients And Methods: Data from consecutive patients with ED operated-on for CVL, were collected prospectively. CVLs were diagnosed by Pharmacologicaly-Challenged Penile Duplex Sonography (PC-PDS) and computed tomography cavernosography.

Background: Survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains poor even when bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with chest compression is initiated. Chest compressions provide only reduced cardiac output with limited perfusion of heart and brain and therfore may not avoid both death or poor neurological outcome in prolonged CPR. We investigated the impact of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) on hemodynamics, gas exchange and return of spontanous circulation (ROSC) with short-term survival during mechanical CPR (mCPR) with chest compression synchronized-ventilation (CCSV) in an atraumatic pig model.

Background: Despite standardised approaches, subjective assessment and inconsistent diagnostic testing for chest pain in the emergency department (ED) drive costs, disparities and adverse outcomes. Artificial intelligence offers potential to automate and improve risk stratification.
Methods And Results: Using a retrospective cohort of 15 048 patients presenting to the ED of a tertiary care hospital, we trained a neural network classifier ('Chest Pain-AI' or 'CP-AI') to predict a 7-day composite endpoint of major cardiovascular diagnoses including myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, aortic dissection and all-cause mortality.
