Anti-migraine medications safety during pregnancy in the US.

Front Pharmacol

December 2024

Independent Consultant, Los Angeles, CA, United States.

Background: Specific antimigraine medications (dihydroergotamine (DHE), triptans) have been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes in individual studies but lack of consensus remains.

Objectives: Quantify the risk of prematurity, low birth weight (LBW), major congenital malformations (MCM), and spontaneous abortions (SA) associated with gestational use of DHE or triptans in a privately insured cohort of pregnant women in the US.

Methods: We conducted a cohort study within the US Merative MarketScan Research Database (2011-2021), composed of a nationally representative sample of patients with employer-provided health insurance.

Comparison of Embolization Coils and Patent Ductus Arteriosus Occluders for Coronary Artery Fistula Transcatheter Closure: A Single Centre Experience.

Korean Circ J

November 2024

Department of Structural Heart Disease, National Center for Cardiovascular Disease & Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, People's Republic of China.

Background And Objectives: There is no dedicated occlusive device for closing coronary artery fistulas (CAFs), and specific efficacy and safety data of various off-label occlusive devices for CAFs closure are scarce.

Methods: Patients undergoing transcatheter closure of CAFs from January 2011 to December 2022 were included in the single-center retrospective study. The study population was divided into 2 groups: coils group (n=35) and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) occluders group (n=66).

Collateral vascular arteries from the descending aorta to the pulmonary arteries are uncommon after arterial switch operation. We describe a case of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with significant aortopulmonary collateral vessels causing management difficulties after an arterial switch operation. Preoperatively, the presence of collaterals exacerbated aortic diastolic runoff and led to myocardial ischemia.
