Ilio-femoral venous stenting for post-thrombotic syndrome in women of childbearing age: efficacy and impact of pregnancy —a multi-center study by the French Society of Cardiovascular Imaging
ConclusionIliofemoral venous stenting in women of childbearing age was an effective treatment for post-thrombotic syndrome, and it did not increase the risk for stent occlusion during pregnancy when accompanied by appropriate anticoagulation.Clinical relevance statementThis study demonstrates that pregnancy following iliofemoral venous stenting for post-thrombotic syndrome does not elevate the risk for stent occlusion.Key Points• The severity of post-thrombotic syndrome and the quality of life, as measured using the Villalta score and Chronic Venous Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire – version 20, respectively, show...

The validity of ultrasound and shear wave elastography to assess the quality of the rotator cuff
ConclusionSWE is not a valid method to measure the amount of FI or muscle atrophy in the SSP muscle. Therefore, SWE is not a suitable alternative for MRI in standard preoperative diagnostics in rotator cuff pathologies.Clinical relevance statementShear wave elastography should not be used in the diagnostics of rotator cuff pathologies.Key Points• There is a fair correlation between the Goutallier stage of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscle assessed on MRI and CT and visual assessment of fatty infiltration achieved on US.• Shear wave elastography is not a valid tool for the determination of the amount of fatty i...

The collateral map: prediction of lesion growth and penumbra after acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke
ConclusionPrecise prediction of lesion growth and penumbra can be possible using collateral maps, allowing for personalized application of recanalization treatments. Further studies are needed to generalize the findings of this study.Clinical relevance statementPrecise prediction of lesion growth and penumbra can be possible using collateral maps, allowing for personalized application of recanalization treatments.Key Points• Cell viability in cerebral ischemia due to proximal arterial steno-occlusion mainly depends on the collateral circulation.• The collateral map shows salvageable brain extent, which can survive by r...

Adipose tissue composition determines its computed tomography radiodensity
ConclusionsThis study unveils the connection between abdominal adipose tissue radiodensity and its chemical composition. Because the radiodensity of the fat around the surgical site is associated with surgical difficulty, it is important to understand how adipose tissue composition affects this parameter. We conclude that fat tissue with a higher content of various phospholipids and waxy lipids is more CT radiodense.Clinical relevance statementThis study establishes the connection between the CT radiodensity of adipose tissue and its chemical composition. Clinicians may use this information for preoperative planning of sur...
