Venous thromboembolic disease and placental vascular pathology are responsible for an important maternal and foetal morbi-mortality with a modification of the hemostasis parameters. As these biological factors combined with particular clinical features can increase or reduce the risk of occurrence of these diseases, knowing the risk factors would help to prevent problems during the pregnancy. Several antithrombotic therapies exist, including very recent ones. Furthermore, a lot of recommendations are available in the literature. A lot of data are thus at our disposal but their synthesis is necessary to be really useful. We review here the risk factors, therapies and recommendations to help improve the management of these women.

Epicardial Adipose Tissue from Computed Tomography: a Missing Link in Premature Coronary Artery Disease?

Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging

January 2025

Sorbonne Université, unité d'imagerie cardiovasculaire et thoracique, Hôpital La Pitié Salpêtrière (AP-HP), Laboratoire d'Imagerie Biomédicale, INSERM, CNRS, Institute of Cardiometabolism and Nutrition, ACTION Group, Paris, France.

Purpose: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) could contribute to the specific atherosclerosis profile observed in premature coronary artery disease (pCAD) characterized by accelerated plaque burden (calcified and non-calcified), high risk plaque features (HRP) and ischemic recurrence. Our aims were to describe EAT volume and density in pCAD compared to asymptomatic individuals matched on CV risk factors and to study their relationship with coronary plaque severity extension and vulnerability.

Materials And Methods: 208 patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) were analyzed.

Ureteral stenosis is a frequent complication after kidney transplantation, causing significant morbidity and potential graft function impairment. Treatment options include conservative management, endourological procedures, surgical interventions and percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN). While PCN effectively relieves obstruction, it comes with its own complications.
