Stress Echocardiography in the Follow-Up of Young Patients with Repaired Aortic Coarctation.
J Clin Med

Working Group on Congenital Heart Disease and Cardiovascular Prevention of the Italian Society of Cardiology, 00136 Roma, Italy.
Aortic coarctation (CoA) is a congenital heart disease affecting 5-8% of patients, with long-term complications persisting despite successful correction. Stress echocardiography (SE) is increasingly used for evaluating cardiac function under stress, yet its role in repaired CoA remains under-explored. This study aimed to assess the predictive value of SE and myocardial strain in repaired CoA patients with a history of hypertension without significant gradients or with borderline gradients at rest.

Background: Late hypertension (HTN) after coarctation of the aorta (CoA) repair contributes to higher morbidity and mortality. An association between transverse aortic arch (TAA) hypoplasia and HTN has been found, but its relationship with surgical strategy is unclear. We studied the association between late HTN and initial surgical strategy pertaining to the TAA.

Study Design: Retrospective review.
Objective: To evaluate mental health influence on minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) patients.
Summary Of Background Data: Poor mental health has been postulated to indicate inferior patient perceptions of surgical outcomes in spine literature.
Case Report: Transcatheter treatment of aortic coarctation in a 58-year-old patient with LACHT syndrome and left lung agenesis.

LACHT (Lung Agenesis, Congenital Heart, and Thumb anomalies) syndrome is an extremely rare congenital anomaly and presents significant challenges in adults due to its poor survival rates. Herein, we report a case of late diagnosis and successful transcatheter treatment of aortic coarctation in a 58-year-old male patient with LACHT syndrome, medically resistant arterial hypertension, and left lung agenesis. Baseline CT angiography showed isthmic aortic coarctation and left lung agenesis, with compensatory right pulmonary artery and vein thickenings.

Metastasis to the pancreas represents a small proportion of all pancreatic malignancies. Among primary tumors that metastasize to the pancreas, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most common causes of metastatic pancreatic lesions. We herein report a case series of three patients with pancreatic metastasis from RCC.
