A 57-year-old woman was admitted owing to epigastric pain.Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated a tumor in the origin of the jejunum.After an endoscopic biopsy, we diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.We treated her with CHOP chemotherapy because pancreaticoduodenectomy is highly invasive.After 1 course of chemotherapy, the tumor was reduced.However, she developed a jejunal stenosis; therefore, we performed laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy.Furthermore, she developed perforated peritonitis on the sixth day after the surgery, and therefore, an emergency partial jejunum resection was performed.Histopathologically, viable lymphoma cells were not found in the resected intestine.She had a complete response 10 months after the surgery.Chemotherapy may cause intestinal stenosis and perforation requiring surgery; therefore, decisions about surgical procedures must be made carefully.

Bilateral thalamic infarction with posterior cerebral artery variant (the arcade artery): A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
December 2024
Department of Neurology, Shaoxing Second Hospital, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, China.
Rationale: Bilateral thalamic infarction is a rare type of posterior circulation stroke, and it often presents with a reduced level of consciousness in the elderly. Arteriosclerosis is the primary etiology of bilateral thalamic infarction, including conditions such as native vessel stenosis or arterial-to-arterial embolism. Cardiogenic or paradoxical embolism can also lead to thrombosis of the perforator branches innervating the thalamus, and these emboli tend to disintegrate and lead to multiple lesions, even in elderly patients.

Circ Arrhythm Electrophysiol
December 2024
Jessa Ziekenhuis, Hasselt, Belgium (T.P., P.K., N.A., J.V.).
Background: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a promising treatment for atrial fibrillation. We report 1-year freedom from atrial arrhythmia outcomes using monopolar PFA delivered through 3 commercial, contact force-sensing focal catheters.
Methods: ECLIPSE AF (NCT04523545) was a prospective, single-arm, multicenter study evaluating acute and chronic safety and performance using the CENTAURI system to deliver focal PFA with TactiCath SE, StablePoint, and ThermoCool ST.
Association between perforator stroke after middle cerebral artery elective stenting and arterial remodeling patterns: a high-resolution MRI-based retrospective cohort study.
Quant Imaging Med Surg
December 2024
Department of Neurointervention, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Henan Provincial Neurointerventional Engineering Research Center, Zhengzhou, China.
Background: Patterns of arterial remodeling may be associated with outcomes in patients with severe middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis after endovascular treatment (EVT). This study aims to investigate the potential correlation between arterial remodeling patterns in patients with severe MCA stenosis, and plaque characteristics and procedure-related perforator stroke (PS).
Methods: Consecutive patients with MCA atherosclerotic disease who underwent EVT at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to June 2023 were retrospectively enrolled in this study.
Efficacy and safety of a novel multisegmented fully covered self-expanding metal stent for malignant esophageal obstruction: a prospective pilot study with historical control.
Surg Endosc
December 2024
Department of Gastroenterology, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Background And Aims: Self-expanding metal stents (SEMSs) are effective for symptom palliation in patients with esophageal obstruction. However, their placement can lead to adverse events such as stent migration and restenosis. A novel fully covered SEMS (FCSEMS) with antimigration properties has been developed to address these issues.

J Neurosurg Case Lessons
December 2024
Departments of Neurosurgery, UC Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, California.
Background: "Dangling choroid" is a prenatal sonographic marker of ventriculomegaly that measures the angle of choroid plexus (ChP) displacement in the lateral ventricle. To the authors' knowledge, postnatal sequelae related to this pathology, besides hydrocephalus, have never been reported.
Observations: A female fetus was diagnosed with bilateral ventriculomegaly.
