Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving the understanding and treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions by developing a new method for 3D reconstruction of their anatomy and plaque composition using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and angiography.
- Researchers tested this method by creating patient-specific silicone models and comparing them against micro-computed tomography (µCT) for accuracy, finding a high level of agreement.
- The proposed approach is efficient, taking under 60 minutes for reconstruction, and can aid in clinical planning and education regarding stenting strategies for complex coronary artery cases.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated pregnancy outcomes in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) compared to those without EDS by analyzing data from over 5.8 million births between 2016 and 2019.
- Patients with EDS were found to be older, predominantly white, and had more health issues like smoking and chronic hypertension.
- The results indicated that women with EDS faced higher risks for complications such as needing Cesarean sections, postpartum hemorrhage, intrauterine growth restriction, and preterm delivery, but notably, there were no increased rates of aortic aneurysmal rupture.
