Balloon pulmonary angioplasty in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: short- and long-term results from a cohort in Brazil.

Objective: A significant number of patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) are not eligible for pulmonary endarterectomy and may be treated with balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA). Although BPA programs have recently been developed in Brazil, no results have yet been published. The objective of this study was to assess the clinical and hemodynamic progression of the first patients treated with BPA at our center.

Endothelial Dysfunction Markers in Ovarian Cancer: VTE Risk and Tumour Prognostic Outcomes.

Ovarian cancer (OC) presents daunting lethality rates worldwide, with frequent late-stage diagnosis and chemoresistance, highlighting the need for improved prognostic approaches. Venous thromboembolism (VTE), a major cancer mortality factor, is partially driven by endothelial dysfunction (ED). ED's pro-inflammatory state fosters tumour progression, suggesting a VTE-independent link between ED and cancer.

In-Office Suprachoroidal Viscopexy for Acute Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment.

Importance: In-office suprachoroidal viscopexy (SCVEXY) is a relatively new procedure for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), but minimal information is available regarding outcomes and safety.

Objective: To report outcomes with in-office SCVEXY for primary acute RRD.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective case series was conducted at St Michael's Hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada from June 2023 to February 2024 among consecutive patients with primary acute RRDs who presented with retinal tears that were reachable with the current in-office SCVEXY technique in the temporal or nasal retina.

Suprachoroidal Space in Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Assessed with Optical Coherence Tomography: Implications for Potential Future Therapeutic Interventions.

Purpose: To comprehensively investigate the suprachoroidal space (SCS) in the context of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

Methods: We conducted a post hoc analysis of 90 consecutive patients with a primary RRD. Baseline SS-OCT scans were graded for the presence and thickness of the suprachoroidal space.

PNEUMATIC RETINOPEXY FOR GIANT RETINAL TEAR ASSOCIATED RETINAL DETACHMENT: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Purpose: To report the technique and long-term outcomes of patients with giant retinal tear associated retinal detachment (GRT-RD) treated with pneumatic retinopexy (PnR).

Methods: Retrospective cohort study. All patients presenting with GRT-RD with tears in the superior ten-clock hours who underwent primary PnR were included in this study.
