Fully automatic generation of a volumetric representation of the coronary artery tree can be achieved by rotational coronary angiography acquisition and three-dimensional tomographic reconstruction. The generated volume datasets can assist the physician during percutaneous coronary interventions by visualizing three-dimensional coronary morphology and offering utility tools to derive various quantitative measurements. These utility tools allow lesion assessment, optimal working-view selection for specific vessel segments, and improved guidance via overlay functionality or follow C-arc. This article gives an overview of reconstruction methods, clinical tools, and present clinical data.

Background: Recent advances in gated cardiac contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) with anesthesia support, enhance the imaging performance in congenital heart disease (CHD). 3D reconstruction of the CECT image is a novel modality that could help manage pediatric cardiac patients.
Methods: A retrospective study of children diagnosed with CHD presenting for surgical intervention (n = 139) was carried out at our cardiac surgical center.

Background: Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy refers to changes in cardiac structure and function that result from rapid arrhythmia and can manifest as a continuous or recurrent event. Cardiomyopathy induced by atrial tachycardia is typically reversible if the arrhythmia is effectively controlled. There are few literature reports of atrial tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy in children, and fewer cases have been effectively treated by radiofrequency catheter ablation in children.

This review explores the significant role of microfluidic technologies in advancing cancer research, focusing on the below key areas: droplet-based microfluidics, organ-on-chip systems, paper-based microfluidics, electrokinetic chips, and microfluidic chips for the study of immune response. Droplet-based microfluidics allows precise manipulation of cells and three-dimensional microtissues, enabling high-throughput experiments that reveal insights into cancer cell migration, invasion, and drug resistance. Organ-on-chip systems replicate human organs to assess drug efficacy and toxicity, particularly in the liver, heart, kidney, gut, lung, and brain.

: Valve-sparing root replacement surgery is an alternative strategy for patients with aortic regurgitation with or without aortic root enlargement. A detailed understanding of the mechanisms of regurgitation and the morphology of the aortic root would be beneficial for predicting the feasibility and success of valve-sparing surgery. This is an exploratory study of the measurement of geometric height in 3D transesophageal echocardiography as a predictor of valve-sparing root replacement for aortic regurgitation.
