Successful flutter catheter ablation through the azygos continuation due to an interrupted inferior vena cava.

Inferior vena cava IVC is a crucial route for catheter access (both directly to the right heart and indirectly through a transeptal puncture to the left heart, used in most electrophysiological procedures). However, interrupted IVC is a real challenge to traditional arrythmia ablation approaches, compromising in certain cases the success of the procedure. A well-developed azygos continuation offers an alternative pathway, bypassing the interrupted segment of the IVC.

[Therapeutic management and prognostic profile of a patient with maxillary sarcomatoid carcinoma (case report)].

Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare, aggressive, malignant tumor with a poor prognosis and a very high frequency of recurrence. Carcinoma of the maxillary sinus is extremely rare. We report the case of a 42-year-old woman with left maxillary process.

[Vascular targeted photodynamic therapy in low-risk prostate cancer. A literature review].

Introduction: Currently, about 50% of newly prostate cancers are localized and low-risk according to D'Amico risk classification. Focal therapies whose objective is to treat only the index lesion appear as a new alternative being evaluated in the management of these cancers. Besides the interest in the control of the disease, focal therapies present a very low risk of morbidity.

Who is dying after nephrectomy for cancer? Study of risk factors and causes of death after analyzing morbidity and mortality reviews (UroCCR-33 study).

Background And Methods: Nephrectomy is the treatment for renal cell cancer from T1-4 tumors but remains at risk. To determine the thirty-day mortality rate after nephrectomy for cancer and to identify causes and risk factors of death in order to find clinical applications. From 2014 to 2017, we performed a retrospective multicentric analysis of prospectively collected data study involving the French network for research on kidney cancer (UroCCR).
