AI Article Synopsis

  • The case discusses a rare instance of a common arterial trunk occurring alongside thanatophoric dysplasia, a type of skeletal disorder diagnosed before birth.
  • Following an early labor induction, a post-mortem examination confirmed the presence of a type 2 common arterial trunk.
  • This report highlights the unique combination of these conditions, noting that thanatophoric dysplasia has not been previously linked to any significant heart defects.

Article Abstract

We report a case of common arterial trunk with thanatophoric dysplasia. The skeletal dysplasia was diagnosed during fetal life. Following early induction of labour, there was a post-mortem diagnosis of type 2 common arterial trunk. This report includes the radiological and post-mortem findings. To our knowledge, thanatophoric dysplasia has never previously been reported in combination with any major cardiac defect.

Background: The use of the Ostial Flash balloon (Ostial Corporation) has received limited study in aorto-ostial chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary artery intervention (PCI).

Methods: The authors evaluated the outcomes of Ostial Flash balloon use in a large CTO-PCI registry (PROGRESS-CTO, NCT02061436).

Results: The Ostial Flash balloon was used in 54 of 907 aorto-ostial CTO PCIs in 905 patients (6.

Objective: To describe the characteristics of patients diagnosed with acute heart failure (AHF) in emergency departments (EDs) who develop cardiogenic shock (CS) not associated with ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (STACS).

Methods: Information for patients diagnosed with AHF in 23 Spanish EDs and registered between 2009 and 2019 were included for analysis if the patients developed symptoms consistent with CS. We described baseline clinical characteristics related to cardiac decompensation and CS, as well as 30-day mortality.

Université Paris Cité, INSERM U970, Paris Cardiovascular Research Centre, Team Integrative epidemiology of cardiovascular diseases, Paris, France.

Objective: To investigate the association between joint manifestations of vascular ageing (VA) and hypertension.

Methods: We used baseline (2008-2012) and follow-up data (up to 2024) from the Paris Prospective Study III, a French cohort of 10,157 participants. Prevalent and incident hypertension were determined at baseline (blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg or on medication) and at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 years of follow-up (self-reported antihypertensive treatment).

Chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is high risk compared to non-CTO PCI. Iatrogenic coronary artery hematoma formation is a common occurrence during CTO PCI, impairing true lumen visualization. We describe the use of a continuous mechanical suction (CMS) device in 2 applications in which it was used for successful subintimal hematoma decompression and distal vessel re-entry.
