Ulcer-like projections (ULPs) with a tendency to enlarge are at risk of aortic events such as new dissection, aneurysmal formation, or rupture and require therapeutic intervention. However, what should be done after open chest surgery when standard thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) cannot be performed is debatable. Here, we present a case of coil embolization of a newly enlarged ULP that was not amenable to TEVAR following a hemiarch aortic arch repair.

Article Synopsis
  • Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) offers temporary support for patients with severe trauma, and this study examines the outcomes of patients treated with veno-arterial ECMO (V-A ECMO) in Japan between 2019 and 2021.
  • Out of 72,439 severe trauma patients, only 51 received V-A ECMO, with a discharge survival rate of 31.3%.
  • The findings suggest that V-A ECMO may be beneficial in severe trauma cases, particularly where traditional interventions aren't effective, but further research is needed to clarify its indications.

Background: Cardiac surgery invariably triggers acute kidney stress causing adverse renal outcomes. The AKITA study evaluated the efficacy and safety of RMC-035, a novel analogue of alpha-1-microglobulin, for reducing cardiac surgery-associated kidney injury.

Methods: In this randomised double-blind placebo-controlled phase 2a study, we randomly assigned (1:1) adult hospitalised patients undergoing open-chest cardiac surgery at high risk for acute kidney injury (AKI) at 21 sites in North America and Europe to receive either RMC-035 (1.
