Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to evaluate a new classification system for chronic venous obstruction (CVO) patients who have undergone successful medical procedures across 13 vascular centers from 2015 to 2019.
  • Researchers analyzed the data of 1,033 CVO patients, classifying them into five categories based on the severity and location of their condition, and assessed stent deployment and complications alongside follow-up outcomes.
  • Results showed that primary patency rates varied significantly among the classifications, with lower rates indicating more severe CVO, and identified key predictors of patency loss such as CVO type and the total number of stents used, suggesting the need for further validation of this classification system in future research.

Oxygen-generating biomaterials are emerging as a groundbreaking solution for transforming cardiovascular engineering. These biomaterials generate and release oxygen within various biomedical applications, marking a new frontier in healthcare. Most cardiovascular treatments face a significant challenge, ensuring a consistent oxygen supply to nurture engineered tissues or even implanted devices.

Neonatal screening for sickle cell disease (SCD) in France, targeted since 1995, indirectly detects newborns with sickle cell trait (SCT). Information about carrier status must be communicated to families in accordance with the 2006 National Consultative Ethics Committee recommendations; however, no national protocol for this exists. In the departments of Nord and Pas-de-Calais, the Regional Neonatal Screening Center transmits this information through a general practitioner (GP).

Background: B-type natriuretic peptides (BNP) and cardiac enzymes are both recognized biomarkers of heart health. Many studies have reported that using these indicators can assess cardiac condition and predict prognosis of patients undergoing surgery. Currently little is known on the effect of increased cardiac input after venous recanalization on cardiac physiology in patients with chronic venous obstruction (CVO).
