Incomplete Carney Triad: A Surgical Case of a Rare Syndrome.

We describe a 36-year-old woman with multiple gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors, hepatic and lymphatic metastasis, and a mediastinal paraganglioma as a presentation of an incomplete Carney triad. We present our therapeutic approach, with emphasis on the surgical and oncologic specificities of this syndrome.

Quantification of diffuse myocardial fibrosis using CMR extracellular volume fraction and serum biomarkers of collagen turnover with histologic quantification as standard of reference.

Purpose: To compare the assessment of diffuse interstitial myocardial fibrosis in valvular diseases using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) extracellular volume fraction (ECV) quantification and serum biomarkers of collagen turnover using results of myocardial biopsy as standard of reference.

Materials And Methods: This prospective monocentric study included consecutive patients before aortic valvular replacement. All patients underwent: i), 1.

Robotic Resection of a Left Brachiocephalic Vein Aneurysm Mimicking Thymoma.

A 70-year-old man was scheduled for the robotic resection of a 21×16 × 30 mm thymic nodule incidentally detected by a computed tomography scan (CT) for thoracic trauma after a domestic accident. Positron emission tomography (PET) scan confirmed a low [18F]-FDG uptake (SUVmax = 1,9). During the surgery, the mass showed to be a saccular aneurysm of the left brachiocephalic vein (LBCV).

Comparison of two preventive dual antiplatelet regimens for unruptured intracranial aneurysm embolization with flow diverter/disrupter: A matched-cohort study comparing clopidogrel with ticagrelor.

Purpose: Standard dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for complex aneurysms treated with flow diversion and flow disruption is acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) plus clopidogrel. However, clopidogrel resistance frequently occurs and can lead to thromboembolic events. Ticagrelor is an alternative not requiring platelet inhibition testing.

Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms with Barricade coils: Feasibility, procedural safety, and immediate postoperative anatomical results.

Background And Purpose: The safety of bare platinum coils has been widely described in the literature. This study aimed to report the first series of intracranial aneurysms treated with Barricade bare platinum coils with a comprehensive evaluation of their procedural safety and postprocedural anatomical results.

Methods: Patients with intracranial aneurysms treated between October 2013 and December 2015 by simple coiling or balloon-assisted coiling with Barricade coils (Blockade Medical, Irvine, California, USA) were prospectively included in a database and retrospectively studied.
