Percutaneous gastric embolization for obesity: A prospective mid-term outcomes study.

Introduction: Obesity represents one of the most pressing public health challenges that needs to be solved globally, with serious health implications. Despite primary prevention efforts the prevalence of obesity continues to increase. Percutaneous gastric embolisation (PGE) has emerged as a promising technique in the management of this disease.

Wellens syndrome as an independent predictor of in-hospital cardiovascular complications.

Introduction: Wellens Syndrome was described for the first time in the eighties, as an equivalent pattern of a critical lesion of the anterior descending artery. Different risk factors have been associated with a worse prognosis during hospitalisation in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. However, it is unknown whether the presence of Wellens Syndrome alone contributes to an increase in in-hospital cardiovascular complications.
