We present an 83-year-old woman with history of two aortic valve replacements; 2 years after the last replacement, she developed heart failure and severe paravalvular leak (PVL) was detected. Percutaneous PVL closure was completed with a single Amplatzer Vascular Plug III. Two months later, the patient presented with late coronary obstruction requiring emergent surgical revascularization. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of late coronary obstruction after percutaneous PVL closure.

Objective: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly heterogeneous hematologic malignancy, with various clinical features influencing its prognosis. The aim of this study to evaluate the impact of platelet count at diagnosis and platelet recovery after induction chemotherapy on the survival outcomes of elderly AML patients.
Methods: A total of 109 elderly patients with AML who were treated in our center between 2017 and 2023 were evaluated.

Congenital bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) signifies the most frequent category of congenital cardiovascular anomaly globally, occurring in approximately 0.5-2% of the general population worldwide. BAV is a major cause of thoracic aortopathy, encompassing aortic stenosis, aortic root dilation with regurgitation, aortic dissection, and aortic aneurysms, consequently leading to substantial late-onset morbidity and mortality.

Dosimetry and Toxicity Comparison of Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy and Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy in Locally Advanced Lung Cancer Across a Large Statewide Quality Collaborative.

Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI. Electronic address:
Purpose/objective(s): Use of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) versus three-dimensional conformal external beam radiation therapy (3D-CRT) for definitive chemoradiation therapy (CRT) in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) has been associated with decreased late pneumonitis, decreased high dose to the heart (itself associated with improved overall survival), and improved patient quality of life. In a statewide radiation oncology quality consortium, we sought to evaluate the impact of IMRT versus 3D-CRT treatment technique on dosimetry and toxicity.
Materials/methods: From 2012 to 2022, 1746 LA-NSCLC patients meeting inclusion criteria underwent definitive RT (90% CRT) with either 3D-CRT (n=313) or IMRT (n=1433) and were enrolled in the [quality consortium] prospective, multicenter statewide initiative.
Super-resolution deep learning reconstruction for improved quality of myocardial CT late enhancement.

Department of Radiology, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, 2-174 Edobashi, Tsu, Mie, 514-8507, Japan.
Purpose: Myocardial computed tomography (CT) late enhancement (LE) allows assessment of myocardial scarring. Super-resolution deep learning image reconstruction (SR-DLR) trained on data acquired from ultra-high-resolution CT may improve image quality for CT-LE. Therefore, this study investigated image noise and image quality with SR-DLR compared with conventional DLR (C-DLR) and hybrid iterative reconstruction (hybrid IR).
