Background: Retrograde guidewire (GW) tracking success via a poor septal collateral channel (CC) when an antegrade approach fails is crucial for successful revascularization of coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) with poor septal CC. However, the incidence, predictors, and management strategies for retrograde GW tracking failure via poor septal CC remain unclear.

Methods: In total, 122 CTO patients who underwent retrograde septal percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with poor CC between January 2017 and May 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.

Objective: Boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are at risk of bone damage and low bone mineral density (BMD). The aim of the study is to examine lumbar BMD values measured by QCT and identify the factors associated with BMD loss using a multilevel mixed-effects model.

Methods: Lumbar BMD was evaluated by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) at diagnosis, 1 and 2 years follow up in patients with DMD who were treated with GC.

Background: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive histiocytosis is a rare type of histiocytosis that could affect multiple systems in children and adults. 10 cases of ALK-positive histiocytosis invading the central nervous system (CNS) have been reported. Herein, we report a case of ALK-positive histiocytosis invading the central nervous system and lungs and the details of follow-up of tumor dynamic changes during treatment.

Joubert syndrome (JBTS), a rare genetic disorder resulted from primary cilium defects or basal-body dysfunction, is characterized by agenesis of cerebellar vermis and abnormal brain stem. Both genotypes and phenotypes of JBTS are highly heterogeneous. The identification of pathogenic gene variation is essential for making a definite diagnosis on JBTS.

Objective: One patient with severe heart failure (LV 92 mm, EF 28%) was treated by cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).

Method: During the operation, it was found that double superior vena cava coexisted, and selective coronary venography cannot clearly show every branch. It was difficult to push ventriculus sinister electrode to sideward vein, so the electrode was released to far end of frontal septal branch along great cardiac vein.

To the best of our knowledge, fibrous hamartoma of infancy (FHI) mimicking teratoma presenting in the parapharyngeal space has not been reported to date. We present one case of this tumour and describe its characteristic findings on multidetector-row CT (MDCT). This case is of interest in that the parapharyngeal space was involved and the mass mimicked teratoma on MDCT.

Objective: To compare three assessment methods (TW2, TW2CH, and TW3) for carpal bone age and their potential applications in diagnosis of idiopathic precocious puberty (IPP) in Chinese girls.

Methods: Fifty-five (55) girls with IPP and 83 normal girls as control group were selected in this study. The X-ray films of the left hand-wrist taken at their first visit were analyzed retrospectively.

Objective: To determine the CT features and anatomic-pathologic basis of the 16-slice Spiral CT (SCT) for aortic dissection (AD).

Methods: Forty-two cases with typical aortic dissection (AD) and 12 cases with intramural hematoma (IMH) underwent 16-slice SCT, performed with unenhanced, contrast-enhanced scanning and three-dimensional reconstruction. More attention was put on the true and false lumen, intimal flap, the entry tear and the involvement of branches of AD.
