Short Term Outcomes of Distal Extended EndoVascular Aortic Repair (DEEVAR) Petticoat in Acute and Subacute Complicated Type B Aortic Dissection
CONCLUSION: The present findings suggest that the DEEVAR PETTICOAT procedure provides effective sealing of all distal tears without increased risk of major peri-procedural complications. Further studies with larger number of patients and longer follow up are needed to confirm the safety and durability of this technique.PMID:34301462 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejvs.2021.05.044

Spontaneous Spinal Epidural Hematoma in an Adult Patient with Complex Congenital Heart Disease
We report the case of a 27-year-old man who developed sudden upper back pain with no specific precipitant. Five days later, he visited our emergency department complaining of weakness in both lower limbs and dysuria. He had a history of intracardiac repair and a Blalock-Park procedure for an interrupted aortic arch and ventricular septal defect in infancy. Additionally, he had undergone an aortic root dilatation and aortic valve replacement at the age of 10 because of progression of aortic and supra-aortic stenosis and had received chronic anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy with warfarin and aspirin, respectively. An...

Molecules, Vol. 26, Pages 3208: Progress in PET Imaging of Neuroinflammation Targeting COX-2 Enzyme
hn Mann Neuroinflammation and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) upregulation are associated with the pathogenesis of degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), epilepsy, and a response to traumatic brain injury (TBI) or stroke. COX-2 is also induced in acute pain, depression, schizophrenia, various cancers, arthritis and in acute allograft rejection. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging allows for the direct measurement of in vivo COX-2 upregulation and thereby enables disease staging, therapy evaluation and aid quantifying target occupa...

Aortic dissection diagnosed on stroke computed tomography protocol: a case report
ConclusionsWhen acute stroke is suspected due to neurological deficits, plain head CT is the first choice for imaging diagnosis. The addition of cervical CT angiography can reliably exclude stroke due to aortic dissection. CTP can identify ischemic penumbra, which cannot be diagnosed by plain head CT or diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. These combined stroke CT protocols helped us avoid missing an aortic dissection.

Intraparenchymal hemorrhage related to cerebral venous air embolism secondary to mesenteric ischemia
CONCLUSIONS: Mesenteric ischaemia can cause significant pneumatosis intestinalis, which, by a retrograde mechanism through the portal system, can cause air bubbles to reach the cerebral venous system, leading to acute stroke.PMID:33908620 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7209.2020652
