Article Abstract
Purpose: Compared with retrospective ECG-gated arterial phase scan, to investigate the clinical application value of dual-source CT large-spiral arterial late scan in the imaging evaluation of left atrial appendage (LAA).
Patients And Methods: A total of 108 patients requiring LAA CT angiography (CTA) due to atrial fibrillation (AF) were selected from September 2024 to December 2024, including 52 patients in group A (Flash large-spiral arterial late scan) and 56 patients in group B (retrospective ECG-gated arterial phase scan). All patients underwent double-phase scan. The interval between the two periods is 30s. Clinical data of patients were collected, the scanning range and radiation dose received were recorded. The CT values of LAA, ascending aorta (AA) at the same level and left atrium at the largest level were measured. At the same time, evaluate other meaningful lesions within the scan range.
Results: The difference between the two groups of scanning range and radiation dose was statistically significant ( < 0.05). There was statistical significance in the subjective evaluation and objective evaluation of LAA filling at the first phase scanning of the two groups ( < 0.05). The detection of other meaningful lesions in the scanning range of group A was significantly higher than that of group B.
Conclusion: By adopting the three-generation dual-source FLASH large-pitch arterial late scan mode, the complete filling rate of the LAA was significantly improved. Not only shortened the examination time, reduced the radiation dose, but also increased the detection rate of other significant lesions within the scanning range for the patients.

Study on the remodeling of distal residual dissection after surgery in patients with type A aortic dissection and Marfan syndrome.
JTCVS Open

State Key Laboratory of Cardiovascular Disease, Center of Vascular Surgery, Fuwai Hospital, National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.
Objective: To evaluate the remodeling of the distal aorta and outcomes after aortic surgery for type A aortic dissection (TAAD) in patients with Marfan syndrome and investigate whether morphologic characteristics of the dissection can predict negative remodeling.
Methods: Between 2013 and 2021, we performed total arch with a frozen elephant trunk for 325 patients with Marfan syndrome with DeBakey type I aortic dissection. Mean age was 47.
Asymptomatic ALCAPA with Preserved Myocardial Function in a 3-Year-Old Child.

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly. Its clinical course is typically severe in infancy, leading to left ventricular ischemia, cardiogenic shock, and high mortality without surgical intervention.We describe a rare case of a 3-year-old girl diagnosed with ALCAPA, showing extensive right-to-left collaterals, preserved left ventricular function, and minimal myocardial injury.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the CGuard dual-layer stent with its mesh embolic protection system (EPS) in elective cases for treatment of internal carotid artery stenosis and compares it to the Carotid Wallstent as benchmark.
Methods: In this retrospective, multicenter study, we analyzed data from consecutive patients who underwent carotid artery stenting with CGuard at two high-volume neurointerventional centers and compared them with prior consecutive patients treated with Carotid Wallstent (CWS), with and without a balloon guiding catheter (BGC) as protection, at the same institutions. Patient demographics, procedural details, clinical complications, early in-stent thrombosis and occlusion rates, and late follow-up restenosis rates were assessed.

Objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) risk, yet the mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate myocardial structure, function, and tissue characterization using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in RA patients and explore associations with RA disease severity.
Methods: This mixed case-control study included 48 RA patients and 34 age- and sex-matched controls.
