Novel approach to treating calcified infrarenal aortic stenosis using intravascular lithotripsy without stenting.
J Vasc Surg Cases Innov Tech
April 2025
Vascular Surgery Unit, S. Chiara Hospital, APSS Trento, Trento, Italy.
This case report presents the use of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) in a 68-year-old woman with disabling bilateral claudication owing to a heavily calcified subocclusive stenosis of the infrarenal aorta. The patient had a history of tobacco use, dyslipidemia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, with absent femoral pulses and severe arterial calcification. A 12-mm Shockwave L6 lithotripsy catheter was employed to treat the aortic lesion, resulting in a significant decrease in the aortic pressure gradient without the need for stenting.

Mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a rare and newly recognized subtype of ovarian and endometrial carcinomas, introduced in the 2020 World Health Organization Classification. This tumor likely originates from Müllerian-derived tissues and often mimics more common ovarian cancers, leading to frequent misdiagnosis. This case study details a 36-year-old woman who presented with urinary symptoms following a hysterectomy.

Introduction: Locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) is a borderline unresectable malignancy that presents significant treatment challenges. The management of LAPC remains a complex issue, particularly in patients who are not eligible for surgical resection.
Case: Here, we report the case of a 60-year-old woman diagnosed with LAPC through pathological biopsy who subsequently underwent targeted immunotherapy following the failure of a gemcitabine, oxaliplatin, and S-1 (G&S) chemotherapy regimen.

In this article, we report the first case of a 61-year-old woman who was diagnosed with both nodules and cystic lesions in her lungs. The lung nodules were diagnosed as ALK-positive histiocytosis (APH) carrying an gene fusion, which microscopically displayed a mixed morphology of foamy cells, spindle cells, and Touton's giant cells. Immunohistochemistry showed expression of CD163, CD68, and ALK, while fluorescence hybridization (FISH) with second-generation sequencing (NGS) showed the ALK gene fusion with the FLCN gene variant.
