Method of surface ECG mapping and graded bicycle exercise test were used for noninvasive detection of coronary artery involvement in 24 patients with aortic stenosis. The actual presence of coronary artery disease was verified by coronary angiography. Isointegral ST-segment maps were constructed and analyzed. Stepwise discriminant analysis revealed parameters of maps most significant for diagnosis of ischemic heart disease. Two discriminant equations based on these parameters allowed to detect noninvasively coronary artery involvement in patients with aortic stenosis.

The optimal annual case volume for acute type A aortic dissection surgery in relation to long-term outcomes.
Eur J Cardiothorac Surg
January 2025
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Maastricht University Medical Centre (MUMC+), Netherlands.
Objectives: Previous analyses of the volume-outcome relationship have focused on short-term outcomes such as early mortality. The current study aims to update a novel statistical methodology, facilitating the evaluation of the relation between procedural volume and time-to-event outcomes such as long-term survival, using surgery for acute type A aortic dissection as an illustrative example.
Methods: This study employed an existing dataset of type A dissection outcomes, retrieved from literature.
Neck vessels geometry and diameter change in patients with acute type A aortic dissection.

St Vincent's Institute of Medical Research, 9 Princes St Fitzroy VIC 3065 Australia.
Aim: To define the association between severe coronary artery disease and widespread atherosclerosis in younger individuals.
Methods: Individuals aged 1-50 years with sudden cardiac death (SCD) from 2019-23, autopsy-proven to be due to coronary artery disease, were identified using the state-wide EndUCD registry. Presence of extra-coronary atherosclerosis greater than modified American Heart Association class III was assessed in 5 arterial beds (intra-cerebral vessels, aorta, carotid, renal and femoral arteries).
Fenestrated Anaconda Endograft for the Treatment of Complex Aortic Aneurysms: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
J Endovasc Ther
January 2025
Department of Vascular Surgery, Swiss Aortic Center Bern, Inselspital, University Hospital of Bern, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.
Purpose: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the outcomes of Anaconda fenestrated endograft for the treatment of complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (cAAA).
Material And Methods: A systematic search of all the literature reported until May 2024 was performed according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. The pooled 30-day mortality rate, technical success rate, reintervention rate as well as bridging stent occlusion rate, and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using fixed or random effect methods.
Design of a Cost-Effective Ultrasound Force Sensor and Force Control System for Robotic Extra-Body Ultrasound Imaging.
Sensors (Basel)
January 2025
School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences, King's College London, London SE1 7EH, UK.
Ultrasound imaging is widely valued for its safety, non-invasiveness, and real-time capabilities but is often limited by operator variability, affecting image quality and reproducibility. Robot-assisted ultrasound may provide a solution by delivering more consistent, precise, and faster scans, potentially reducing human error and healthcare costs. Effective force control is crucial in robotic ultrasound scanning to ensure consistent image quality and patient safety.
