Percutaneous pulmonary valve placement in patients with an anomalous coronary artery is rare and can be complicated by coronary artery compression. We report successful implantation of a percutaneous pulmonary valve in a patient with an anomalous left anterior descending artery.

In the Twilight of Evidence: Is Bypass Surgery Still on the Table for Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy?
J Clin Med
December 2024
Department of Cardiology, University Hospital Zurich, 8091 Zurich, Switzerland.
Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a major prognosis-limiting factor in patients undergoing orthotopic heart transplantation (HT). Due to the diffuse involvement of the coronary tree, CAV lesions are often not amenable to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), leaving coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and retransplantation as primary revascularization options. : The latest guidelines from the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) recognize CABG as a viable option but with a downgraded strength of recommendation.

Design: Retrospective cohort study SETTING: Multi-institutional data from the Vascular Quality Initiative national database, covering a period from January 2003 to December 2022.
Participants: We included 7,548 patients undergoing open or endovascular repair for ruptured AAA: 5,829 men (77.
Contemporary Administrative Codes to Identify Pulmonary Vein Isolation Procedures for Atrial Fibrillation.
J Am Heart Assoc
January 2025
Background: Use of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) to treat atrial fibrillation continues to increase. Despite great interest in leveraging administrative data for real-world analyses, contemporary procedural codes for identifying PVI have not been evaluated.
Methods And Results: In this observational retrospective cohort study, inpatient PVIs were identified among US Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code 93656 in Carrier Line Files.
Background: Meta-analyses have suggested that the risk of cardiovascular disease events is significantly higher after a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation, but the populations at highest risk have not been well characterized to date.
Methods And Results: The authors analyzed the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) hospitalizations after COPD hospitalization compared with before COPD hospitalization and patient factors associated with ASCVD hospitalizations after COPD hospitalization among 2 high-risk patient cohorts. The primary outcome was risk of an ASCVD hospitalization composite outcome (myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass graft, percutaneous coronary intervention, stroke, transient ischemic accident) after COPD hospitalization relative to before COPD hospitalization.
Impact and Durability of the Affordable Care Act Medicaid Expansion on Lung Cancer Treatment.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
December 2024
Department of Surgery, Sidney Kimmel Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Background: Medicaid expansion began in 2014 after passage of the Affordable Care Act; however, the impact and durability of the effects on lung cancer treatment utilization are poorly defined. We aimed to determine whether there is a persistent difference in utilization of lung resection, lung biopsy, and nonoperative treatment of lung cancer in states participating in Medicaid expansion compared with states that are not.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was completed analyzing the difference in utilization between Medicaid expansion states and non-expansion states in 2012-2013, 2016-2017, and 2019.
