Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) analysis can help in the planning of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Fractional flow reserve derived from coronary CTA (FFR), coronary CTA-derived regional myocardial mass, and FFR virtual PCI planner can facilitate decisions concerning sheath and guide catheter selection, stent lengths on the basis of predicted post-PCI FFR, optimal fluoroscopic angles, evaluation of provisional vs 2-stent bifurcation PCI techniques, and assessment of the magnitude of jeopardized myocardial mass in cases with side branch compromise. This case series illustrates the emerging opportunities for coronary CTA-based planning of bifurcation PCI.

Methods: We included 357 people (131 female, 226 male) with a high likelihood of LBD based on pathology from the Brain Bank for Neurodegenerative (Jacksonville, FL).

Objective: Estimations of the treatment effect on overall survival (OS) may be influenced by post-progression therapies (PPTs). It is unclear how often OS analyses account for PPT effects. The purpose of this cross-sectional analysis was to determine the prevalence of OS analyses accounting for PPT effects in phase III oncology trials.

Objective: Cancer patients aged ≥80 years present unique characteristics affecting response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), with unidentified molecular differences. This study aimed to explore potential biomarkers of response to ICI in patients ≥80 years.
Methods And Analysis: We analysed tumour samples (n=24 123) from patients ≥80 (versus<80) with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), melanoma (MEL), and renal cell cancer (RCC).
