Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a term used to describe a complex heterogenous group of conditions defined by a mean pulmonary arterial pressure of more than 20 mmHg at rest on right-heart catheterization. PH in pregnancy is associated with high rates of maternal morbidity and mortality and poor fetal outcomes. Currently, pregnancy in these women is classified as modified WHO class IV (pregnancy contraindicated).

Background: Despite the development of effective pulmonary vasodilators, the prognosis for patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) remains poor, particularly in medication-refractory patients. Catheter-based pulmonary artery denervation (PADN) is an emerging therapeutic strategy targeting the sympathetic nervous system in various types of PH. However, data on its safety and efficacy in refractory patients with PH who truly require non-pharmacotherapy are lacking.

Introduction: The traditional injection method of contrast media (CM) has limitations in terms of volume and imaging quality. Choosing the optimal CM injection method is crucial for ensuring high-quality images and accurate diagnosis in triple-rule-out computed tomography angiography (TRO-CTA). This study aims to investigate the application value of combining region of interest (ROI) with CM injection method alterations in TRO-CTA.

Individualized PEEP can improve both pulmonary hemodynamics and lung function in acute lung injury.

Crit Care

March 2025

Keenan Centre for Biomedical Research, Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, St. Michael's Hospital, Unity Health Toronto, Toronto, Canada.

Rationale: There are several approaches to select the optimal positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), resulting in different PEEP levels. The impact of different PEEP settings may extend beyond respiratory mechanics, affecting pulmonary hemodynamics.

Objectives: To compare PEEP levels obtained with three titration strategies-(i) highest respiratory system compliance (C), (ii) electrical impedance tomography (EIT) crossing point; (iii) positive end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure (P)-in terms of regional respiratory mechanics and pulmonary hemodynamics.

Coronary artery involvement in giant cell arteritis (GCA) is rare but can lead to severe complications, including myocardial infarction and death. We present unique 2-[18F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (2-[18F]FDG-PET/CT) findings in a 91-year-old woman with GCA. In addition to typical aortic and supra-aortic involvement, this scan revealed intense FDG uptake in the coronary arteries, including the left main trunk, left anterior descending, circumflex, and right coronary arteries.
