The efficacy of CO2 angiography in the endovascular treatment of an acute iliac pseudoaneurysm
We report a case of a 39-year-old woman, allergic to iodine, with a recent kidney transplant, who presented in the emergency room with severe pain in the left iliac fossa. Angio CT-scan showed an acute pseudoaneurysm of the left common iliac artery. She was emergently treated with a stent-graft and CO<inf>2</inf> was used as main contrast medium. The intraoperative angiographies performed with carbon dioxide showed very well the rupture site and the pseudoaneurysm; the latter were more clearly visible with CO<inf>2</inf> compared with ICM. The reported case shows the efficacy of CO<inf>2</i...

Concomitant tricuspid valve repair for mild-moderate tricuspid regurgitation patients undergoing mitral valve surgery? A meta-analysis and meta-regression
J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino). 2023 Jul 24. doi: 10.23736/S0021-9509.23.12760-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe development of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common complication of mitral valve disease. Although severe TR is usually operated on at the same time of mitral valve surgery (MVS), controversies remain regarding whether mild to moderate TR patients should be operated. Concomitant tricuspid valve repair with MVS for mild-moderate TR patients. Electronic databases were searched from inception to November 20, 2022 to include any observational or randomized controlled trials (RCT) that compare concomitant tricuspi...

Raised BMI is associated with fewer Type I endoleaks in patients treated with the Gore Excluder device: data from the Global Registry for Endovascular Aortic Treatment (GREAT)
CONCLUSIONS: Among AAA patients treated with a Gore Excluder device (W. L. Gore & Associates), a higher BMI category was associated with a lower risk of Type 1 endoleak requiring reintervention. Further work needs to be carried out to assess our findings in other patient cohorts.PMID:37458731 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.23.12572-9 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)
