Right coronary sinus of Valsalva pseudoaneurysm after a motorcycle accident: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
January 2025
Department of Radiology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Rationale: Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva (PSV) is a rare but life-threatening condition, often resulting from blunt chest trauma. Rapid progress and a high risk of rupture highlight the importance of prompt diagnosis and intervention. We present a case of a rare pseudoaneurysm linked to the right coronary sinus after blunt chest trauma.

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, New York, New York, United States.
Purpose: To assess the preferential sites of retinal capillary occlusion at the parafovea in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A).
Methods: OCT-A scans from 107 patients with SCD and 51 race-matched unaffected controls were obtained using a commercial spectral domain-OCT system. At least eight sequential 3 × 3 mm scans centered at the fovea were acquired and averaged for image analysis.
The clinical effects and mechanism of action of ranibizumab in treating myopic choroidal neovascularization.
Int Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, The Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Suzhou Municipal Hospital, Suzhou, 215008, Jiangsu, China.
Purpose: Myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a common reason for visual impairment. This study investigated the clinical effects of repeated intravitreal injections of ranibizumab among patients with CNV secondary to pathologic myopia.
Methods: This study involved a single-center, non-randomized clinical prospective cohort research design including 39 patients with myopic CNV and a control group of 10 patients with cataract.

Unlabelled: Coronary angiography (CA) is the gold standard for identifying the presence and extent of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease or dynamic stenosis of the arteries.
Aim: Review of the literature and international clinical guidelines on the evidence of its indications in different clinical scenarios.
Method: Qualitative study through a narrative review of the current indications of the technique, limitations, possible complications and contraindications.
[Utility of CT Cardiac Angiography in the Evaluation of Infective Endocarditis and Its Complications].
Rev Med Chil
September 2024
Hospital Dr. Hernán Henríquez Aravena, Universidad de la Frontera, Temuco, Chile.
Infective endocarditis (IE) is an infection that affects the heart valves, endocardium, and great vessels. It has a mortality rate of approximately 30% per year, so early diagnosis is essential to reduce morbidity and mortality. Cardiac angio-CT triggered by electrocardiogram (ECG) has been considered in IE management guidelines in recent years, given its high spatial resolution, contributing to the diagnosis and evaluation of valvular complications (vegetations, perforations, dysfunctions), perivalvular (abscesses, pseudoaneurysms, prosthesis dehiscence, fistulas) and compromised coronary arteries (embolism), allowing early diagnosis and treatment.
