Article Abstract
An 82-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with chest pain as a chief complaint and diagnosed with a ruptured aortic aneurysm in the distal arch by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). The patient underwent surgery using artificial heart-lung and selective cerebral extracorporeal circulation, and a semi-circumferential aortic arch incision was made around the anterior surface of the aortic arch. An open stent graft was inserted through the incision, trimmed to fit the size, and the aortic wall and the stent graft were fixed with 3-0 proline continuous sutures, and finally the incision was closed with 3-0 proline. This method was useful because it may shorten the operation time and decrease the amount of blood loss compared to the common aortic arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk.

Right coronary artery takeoff plane and implications for brachiocephalic interventions and next generation transcatheter aortic valve intervention embolic protection devices.
J Invasive Cardiol
September 2025
Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, Newark, New Jersey.
Objectives: The authors hypothesized that the origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) is a direct continuation of the major aortic arch branches (MAAB) takeoff plane, which may have implications for brachiocephalic interventions and next generation transcatheter aortic valve intervention (TAVI) embolic protection devices (EPDs).
Methods: In this single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional study, the authors analyzed computed tomographic angiography (CTA) images from 92 patients undergoing TAVI evaluation to determine the spatial relationship between the origin of the RCA and the MAAB takeoff plane. Patients with prior cardiothoracic or aortic interventions and those with anomalous RCA origin were excluded.
Outcomes of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in severely injured adult trauma patients with isolated thoracic or abdominal trauma in Hemorrhagic shock.

Background: There is conflicting literature regarding mortality outcomes associated with REBOA usage in patients with severe thoracic or abdominal trauma. Our study aims to assess the benefits and negative implications of REBOA use in adult trauma patients in hemorrhagic shock with severe thoracic or abdominal injuries.
Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis utilized the American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program Participant Use File (ACS-TQIP-PUF) database from 2017 to 2023 to evaluate adult patients with severe isolated thoracic or abdominal trauma undergoing REBOA placement.
Fetal 4D Flow CMR for Advanced Diagnostics of Congenital Heart Disease: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging
September 2025
Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, University Hospital Bonn, Venusberg-Campus 1, 53127, Bonn, Germany.
Aims: Fetal circulation undergoes complex changes in congenital heart disease (CHD) that are challenging to assess with fetal echocardiography. This study aimed to assess clinical feasibility and diagnostic value of 4D flow cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in fetal CHD.
Methods And Results: Pregnant women in advanced third trimester pregnancy with fetal CHD were prospectively recruited for fetal CMR between 08/2021 and 11/2024.
A volumetric modulated arc therapy-based dynamic conformal arc technique with limited monitor units (VMATliMU) to reduce multileaf collimator interplay effects: A computational phantom study for stage I non-small-cell lung cancer.

Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for lung cancer involves complex multileaf collimator (MLC) motion, which increases sensitivity to interplay effects with tumour motion. Current dynamic conformal arc methods address this issue but may limit the achievable dose distribution optimisation compared with standard VMAT. This study examined the clinical utility of a VMAT technique with monitor unit limits (VMATliMU) to mimic conformal arc delivery and reduce interplay effects while maintaining plan quality.

Aims: Non-pharmacological therapies for acute decompensated heart failure (HF) and cardiogenic shock have evolved considerably in recent decades. Short-term mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices can be used as circulatory backup. While nearly all available devices use continuous flow, evidence indicates that pulsatile flow can be more effective.
