Introduction: Thymic carcinoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy with few treatment options. Preclinical studies suggested that targeting the angiogenic pathway may be beneficial in this disease.
Methods: This randomized phase 2 trial enrolled patients with unresectable, locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic thymic carcinoma.
Article Synopsis
- A new three-dimensional mapping platform combined with a lattice-tip catheter allows for both monopolar pulsed field ablation and radiofrequency energy delivery, and has been tested in deep sedation for the first time, alongside general anesthesia (GA).* -
- The study involved 63 patients with atrial fibrillation, showing a 100% pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) rate in both groups, with comparable procedure times and clinical outcomes despite one patient requiring a shift from deep sedation to GA.* -
- The results suggest that using this novel ablation technique in deep sedation is effective and leads to a significantly shorter lab occupancy time compared to general anesthesia.*
Accidental intra-arterial injections of radiotracers are rare events resulting in a specific imaging pattern, described as "hot-forearm," "hot-hand," "glove-phenomenon," or "glove-like pattern." We present a case 68 Ga-DOTATATE total-body PET/CT for restaging of a neuroendocrine tumor, where intra-arterial misinjection resulted in a glove phenomenon. Since patients may present with minimal symptoms, like in this case, and PET findings may only be seen at the distal upper extremity (placed above the head), these accidental injections may be more frequently detected with total-body PET/CT due to the longer field-of-view.
