Intermediate-Term Outcomes Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Patients with a History of Chest Radiation Therapy: A Propensity Score Matched Analysis
J Invasive Cardiol. 2023 Jun;35(6):E291-E293.ABSTRACTChest radiation therapy (XRT) has been associated with a higher rate of mortality following surgical aortic valve replacement. We performed a single-center retrospective analysis of patients with severe AS who underwent TAVI from January 1 2012 to July 31 2020 comparing patients with and without XRT. A total of 915 patients met inclusion criteria, with a total of 50 patients found to have a history of XRT. At a mean follow-up of 2.4 years, unadjusted and propensity score matching analysis demonstrated no differences in mortality, heart failure or bleeding-related hospita...

Stroke death in patients receiving radiation for head and neck cancer in the modern era
CONCLUSIONS: While radiotherapy for head and neck cancer increases the hazard of stroke death, this is reduced in the modern era and remains a very small absolute risk.PMID:37397363 | PMC:PMC10313411 | DOI:10.3389/fonc.2023.1111764

The incidence of radiation-induced moyamoya among pediatric brain tumor patients who received photon radiation versus those who received proton beam therapy: a systematic review
AbstractCranial irradiation is associated with several adverse events such as endocrinopathy, growth retardation, neurocognitive impairment, secondary malignancies, cerebral vasculopathy, and potential stroke. The better side effects profile of proton beam therapy compared with that of photon radiation therapy is due to its physical properties, mainly the sharp dose fall-off after energy deposition in the Bragg peak. Despite the better toxicity profile of proton beam therapy, the risk of   moyamoya syndrome still exists. We conducted a systematic review of the existing literature on moyamoya syndrome after receiving crani...

Comprehensive Update and Review of Clinical and Imaging Features of SMART Syndrome ADULT BRAIN
SUMMARY: Stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy (SMART) syndrome is a delayed complication of cranial irradiation, with subacute onset of stroke-like symptoms including seizures, visual disturbance, speech impairment, unilateral hemianopsia, facial droop, and aphasia, often associated with migraine-type headache. The diagnostic criteria were initially proposed in 2006. However, the diagnosis of SMART syndrome is challenging because clinical symptoms and imaging features of SMART syndrome are indeterminate and overlap with tumor recurrence and other neurologic diseases, which may result in inappropriate clinic...

PET/MRI Assessment of Acute Cardiac Inflammation 1 Month After Left-Sided Breast Cancer Radiation Therapy
Conclusion: Myocardial 18F-FDG uptake and functional MRI, including stroke volume and ECVs, were sensitive to changes at 1 mo after breast cancer RT, with findings suggesting an acute cardiac inflammatory response to RT.PMID:37192822 | DOI:10.2967/jnmt.122.264960
