Urological complications caused by inferior vena cava filters: a systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: Urological complications caused by IVC filters although rare, are likely underreported, require extensive workup, and pose surgical challenges. Due to their complex management, filter retrieval should be planned for as soon as feasible, and plans should be made as early as during the IVC filter implant. For those that do develop complications, clinical judgement must be exercised in management, and open surgical, endovascular or even conservative management strategies can be viable options and should be discussed in a multidisciplinary setting.PMID:38619204 | DOI:10.23736/S0392-9590.24.05041-7 (Source: International Angiology)

Effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy < em > vs < /em > chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of esophageal adenocarcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Although nCRT may have a higher pCR rate, it does not translate to greater long-term survival. Moreover, nCRT is associated with higher 30-d mortality, although the specific cause for postoperative complications could not be identified. In the case of nCT, toxic side effects are suspected, which can reduce the quality of life. Given the quality of available studies, further randomized trials are required.PMID:38617451 | PMC:PMC11008422 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i11.1621 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)

Outcomes of oncological intended thoracic surgery after lung transplantation
CONCLUSIONS: Incidence of lung cancer is increased after LT. Follow-up care allows early diagnosis with a comparably high share of operable tumor stage. Cancer as well as postoperative complications were more likely after single lung transplantation (SLT). Postoperative morbidity and mortality are higher in this scarce group of patients and hence, warrants a centered and experienced interdisciplinary approach.PMID:38617760 | PMC:PMC11009586 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1669 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Mortality and rehospitalization in patients with pre-existing implantable pacemakers undergoing catheter ablation are related to increased comorbidity burden —data from the German Ablation Registry
ConclusionPatients with pacemaker systems undergoing catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter demonstrate an increased risk of death, cardiovascular events, and re-hospitalization. This observation can be largely attributed to an older patient population and an increased rate of comorbidities. (Source: Clinical Research in Cardiology)
