To improve the prognosis after hepatectomy for HCC, repeated postoperative transcatheter arterial infusions of anticancer drugs and lipiodol (TAI) were given. TAI may be effective as an adjuvant therapy for prevention of residual liver recurrence after hepatectomy, probably by suppression of the development of intrahepatic micrometastases rather than of multicentric carcinogenesis.

Background: The expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) valved conduit (VC) has been reported for pulmonary valve replacement (PVR). The purpose of this study was to review long-term outcomes of our trileaflet ePTFE VC.
Methods: This multicenter study was performed with institutional review board approval from each institution.

Background: Limited data exist on the impact of polyvascular disease (PolyVD) on clinical outcomes in female patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We therefore sought to investigate clinical outcomes in women with versus without PolyVD undergoing TAVR.
Methods: Female participants from the multicentre Women's International Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (WIN-TAVI) registry were categorized based on the presence or absence of PolyVD.

The cGAS-STING pathway is pivotal in initiating antitumor immunity. However, tumor metabolism, particularly glycolysis, negatively regulates the activation of the cGAS-STING pathway. Herein, Mn galvanic cells (MnG) are prepared via liquid-phase exfoliation and in situ galvanic replacement to modulate tumor metabolism, thereby enhancing cGAS-STING activation for bidirectional synergistic H-immunotherapy.

Background: Small-molecule biomacromolecules target tumor-specific antigens. They are employed as theranostic agents for imaging and treatment. Intravenous small-molecule radioligands exhibit rapid tumor uptake and excretion.

: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a non-invasive imaging technique with similar accuracy to CT and MRI for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). CEUS offers several advantages in patient populations who have contraindications for CT or MRI. There are limited prospective studies in the United States evaluating the diagnostic equivalence of CEUS following transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) with same-day CT/MRI.
