Right coronary artery pericoronary fat attenuation index as a future predictor for acute coronary events in nonobstructive coronary artery disease - a prospective single centre study.

Aim: Evaluation of pericoronary adipose tissue changes induced by inflammation by non-invasive techniques is challenging.

Purpose: To find the association between pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation (FAI) changes and future acute coronary events in nonobstructive coronary artery disease.

Materials And Methods: Ours was a single-centre, prospective observational study on patients with atypical chest pain who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA).

Technical Success, Midterm Primary Patency, and Factors Affecting Primary Patency of Subintimal Angioplasty Followed by Vasculomimetic Stenting for Trans-Atlantic Intersociety Consensus II C and D Femoropopliteal Arterial Disease-A Prospective Study.

 The best option among the endovascular options in long, complex femoropopliteal (FP) lesions, and factors affecting the patency have yet to be well described. There are few studies describing the mid- and long-term patency of endovascular stents in long-segment FP occlusions.  This study aimed to determine the technical success and mid-term patency of subintimal angioplasty with vasculomimetic stenting in Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus II (TASC) C and D FP disease.

Role of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging in response assessment of hepatocellular carcinoma after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) - A prospective study.

Introduction: Response evaluation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) currently is based on arterial phase enhancement which doesn't take into microstructural changes in the tumor after trans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE).

Aim: This prospective study was conducted to assess the feasibility and efficacy of intravascular incoherent motion imaging (IVIM) in response evaluation of HCC after TACE. 39 cirrhotic patients with 48 HCC underwent MR imaging 1 week within and 6weeks after TACE.

False lumen regurgitation fraction and energy loss in the aorta measured using four-dimensional flow MRI to predict expansion of acute uncomplicated type B aortic dissection: a prospective study.

Aim: To assess the relationship between four-dimensional (4D)-flow-derived false lumen regurgitation fraction (FLRF) and energy loss (EL) percentage in the descending thoracic aorta (DTA) with the aortic growth rate in uncomplicated type B aortic dissection (uTBAD).

Methods And Materials: In this prospective study performed on 15 patients with uTBAD, computed tomography (CT) angiography and 4D-flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed at the initial presentation with follow-up CT at 2 years. 4D-flow parameters, including maximum peak systolic velocity (PSV), FLRF, and percentage of EL were measured using Circle CV42.

A Curious Case of Multiple Intracardiac Masses: Antiphospholipid Syndrome Manifesting as Multiple Intracardiac Thrombi.

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by acquired hypercoagulability, recurrent pregnancy loss, and elevated levels of antiphospholipid antibodies. The common cardiovascular manifestations include valvulopathy, coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial dysfunction, cardiac thrombi, pulmonary thromboembolism, and pulmonary hypertension. Herein we present a case who presented with stroke with incidentally detected multiple cardiac lesions on echocardiography suspicious for mass.

Tandem Saphenous Vein Graft Aneurysms with Right Atrial Fistula: Evaluation of a "Rarest of a Rare Complication" Using CT Coronary Angiography.

Saphenous vein graft (SVG) aneurysm after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a rare complication. A fistula between an SVG aneurysm and a cardiac chamber is even rarer. Herein, we report a middle-aged man who underwent CABG with five grafts 13 years prior presenting with multiple aneurysms in the venous graft with a fistula between the aneurysm and the right atrium.

Perception of Availability, Accessibility, and Affordability of COVID-19 Vaccines and Hesitancy: A Cross-Sectional Study in India.

Background: The current study aimed to identify the perceptions and issues regarding the affordability, availability, and accessibility of COVID-19 vaccination and determine the extent of vaccine hesitancy among non-vaccinated individuals. Methods: A Prospective cross-sectional study was conducted among 575 individuals for a period of six months. All the relevant information was collected using the peer-validated survey questionnaire.

Endovascular interventions in main renal artery pathologies: an overview and update.

Renal arteries are involved in a wide spectrum of pathologies including atherosclerosis, fibromuscular dysplasia, Takayasu arteritis, aneurysms, and aortic type B dissections extending into main renal arteries. They manifest as renovascular hypertension, renal ischemia, and cardiovascular dysfunction. The location of the renal arteries in relation to the abdominal aortic aneurysm is a critical determinant of interventional options and long-term prognosis.

Oromaxillary prosthetic rehabilitation of a maxillectomy patient using a magnet retained two-piece hollow bulb definitive obturator; a clinical report.

Resection of a malignant lesion involving the maxilla produces severe oromaxillary defect that can seriously jeopardize the normal phonetics of the patient. These defects are effectively managed by well-designed and fabricated obturator. This paper discusses the oromaxillary prosthetic rehabilitation of a maxillectomy patient using a magnet retained two-piece hollow bulb definitive obturator.
