Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) cause cerebral abscess and ischemic stroke due to paradoxical emboli, risks that are increasingly recognized. We report the evolving placement of thoracic surgery in multi-disciplinary team management of PAVMs that were sporadic or associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. From 1983 to 2006, all patients receiving elective treatment had embolization.

Background: Aortic valve calcification (AVC) has been shown to be a powerful assessment of aortic stenosis (AS) severity and a predictor of adverse outcomes. However, its accuracy in patients with low-flow AS has not yet been proven. The objective of the study was to assess the predictive value of AVC in patients with classical low-flow (CLF, that is, low-flow reduced left ventricular ejection fraction) or paradoxical low-flow (PLF, that is, low-flow preserved left ventricular ejection fraction) AS.

Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) is abundantly present in the tumor microenvironment, contributing to cancer progression. However, the regulatory mechanism by which TGF-β affects vascular endothelial cells (ECs) in the tumor microenvironment is not well understood. Herein, we generated tamoxifen-inducible TGF-β type II receptor () knockout mice, specifically targeting ECs (TβRII), by crossbreeding TβRII-floxed mice with Pdgfb-icreER mice.

Background: Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown remarkable clinical efficacy, they can also induce a paradoxical cancer acceleration, known as hyperprogressive disease (HPD), whose causative mechanisms are still unclear.
Methods: This study investigated the mechanisms of ICI resistance in an HPD-NSCLC model.

Over the past decade, new modalities have emerged to treat acute pulmonary embolism (PE). However, PE remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In the absence of robust clinical trial data and definitive guidelines and recommendations for a variety of clinical situations, individual patient treatment decisions have become paradoxically more challenging as innovation in the space has grown.
