Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of BeGraft and Solaris stent grafts during a specific endovascular treatment called BS-CERAB, aimed at patients with aortoiliac occlusive disease from January 2020 to December 2023.
- - A total of 42 patients (mostly men, average age 72) participated, with symptoms mainly including intermittent claudication and critical limb ischemia, and all procedures were successful with an average follow-up of 14 months.
- - Results showed improvement in blood flow (ABI increase) and promising patency rates at 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery, although active cancer was identified as a risk factor for restenosis.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze how symptoms evolve in patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (sSAS) after undergoing valve replacement and the factors that predict whether these symptoms persist.
- Out of 451 patients studied, approximately 57% continued to experience symptoms after the procedure, mainly dyspnea and heart failure, highlighting the complexity of post-operative recovery.
- Factors such as age, body mass index, and previous heart failures were linked to persistent symptoms, which in turn were associated with higher overall mortality rates over a follow-up period of about 56 months.
Due to their immunocompromised state, recipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCTs) are at a higher risk of opportunistic infections, such as that of toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis is a rare but mortal infection that can cause severe neurological symptoms, including confusion. In immunosuppressed individuals, such as those with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), toxoplasmosis can cause movement disorders, including hemichorea-hemiballismus.

To evaluate if these differences persist after valve replacement, we conducted an observational study including 451 patients with symptomatic AS who survived aortic valve intervention (AVI) in two centers. Clinical data and mortality were evaluated at a mean follow-up of 5 years.
