Background: Monochorionic (MC) twins share a single placenta which can be unequally shared, leading to selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR). Limited data is available on the prevalence and clinical consequences of proximate cord insertion (PCI) in sFGR pregnancies.
Objective: We aimed to investigate the prevalence of PCI in MC placentas with and without sFGR and per type of sFGR, and study the placental characteristics and perinatal outcome of PCI in sFGR pregnancies.

During surgery for oval fossa defects, inadvertent suturing of pericardial patches to a prominent Eustachian valve diverts the inferior vena caval blood to the left atrium causing iatrogenic cyanosis. A similar complication may arise after surgery for superior sinus venosus defects. Surgical patch in a wrong plane may direct the superior vena cava towards the left atrium.

Thrombotic adverse events and disease progression are crucial in Polycythemia Vera (PV), as it stands as the leading cause of mortality. The pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a valuable indicator of arterial aging and often plays a significant independent role in contributing to cardiovascular adverse events (CV-AEs). The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between PWV and critical vascular function parameters, with the goal of identifying new predictive factors of vascular damage and exploring a potential connection with disease progression.
