A 71-year-old female with symptomatic bitroncular coronary ischemic disease was admitted in our hospital for hybrid revascularization. She presented significant stenosis of the proximal and middle left anterior descending artery (LAD) and of the second segment of right coronary artery (RCA). She was scheduled for an Endoscopic Atraumatic Coronary Artery Bypass (EACAB) of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to LAD and staged percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to RCA after the EACAB. Control of LIMA permeability after RCA PCI showed LIMA dissection with TIMI 2 flow to LAD. Decision to stent a freshly implanted LIMA led to LIMA rupture. An emergent LAD revascularization with a saphenous vein graft and control of bleeding was successfully performed. Patient was discharged at day 10 from the hospital.

Human recombination-activating gene (RAG) deficiency can manifest with distinct clinical and immunological phenotypes. By applying a multiomics approach to a large group of -mutated patients, we aimed at characterizing the immunopathology associated with each phenotype. Although defective T and B cell development is common to all phenotypes, patients with hypomorphic variants can generate T and B cells with signatures of immune dysregulation and produce autoantibodies to a broad range of self-antigens, including type I interferons.

Background: Surgical clipping and endovascular coiling are well-established treatments for acutely ruptured intracranial aneurysms leading to acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). However, these modalities have limitations, particularly in cases involving wide-necked, bifurcating, or dissecting aneurysms. Flow diverter (FD) devices, initially used for unruptured aneurysms, have emerged as an alternative treatment for ruptured aneurysms despite concerns about hemorrhagic complications.

Objective: Comprehensive endovascular aortic programmes need optimal infrastructure and multidisciplinary teams to manage complex aortic aneurysms. This study assessed the implementation of such a programme in two centres and its impact on fenestrated or branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective review of patients treated for complex abdominal and thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) by FB-EVAR between 2013 and 2023 was undertaken.

Objectives: In Northeast Brazil, the poorest region of the country, indigenous communities face critical health care challenges. Despite legal entitlements to the Unified Health System (SUS), systemic barriers persist, exacerbating health disparities and mortality. This ecological study analyzed mortality trends and causes of death within the Special Indigenous Sanitary District (DSEI) Alagoas-Sergipe over a decade.
