Pre-interventional renal artery calcification and survival after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Int J Cardiovasc Imaging
December 2024
Department of Cardiology, University Heart Center, University Hospital Zurich and University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
The prognostic significance of renal artery calcification (RAC) is unknown in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) eligible for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). RAC can be assessed by computed tomography (CT) performed during pre-interventional planning for TAVI. This study aimed at investigating the utility of RAC for predicting survival after TAVI.

Centre for Vascular Surgery and Interventional Radiology, Tampere University Hospital, Tampere, Finland.
Background And Aims: Psoas muscle parameters estimated from computed tomography images, as surrogates for sarcopenia, have been found to be associated with post-interventional outcomes after a wide range of cardiovascular procedures. The pre-interventional assessment in patients undergoing invasive treatment for peripheral arterial disease is increasingly often carried out with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and we therefore sought to investigate the predictive potential of MRI-derived psoas muscle area in this cohort.
Methods: A total of 899 patients with available sufficient quality pre-interventional MRI conducted within 6 months prior to treatment undergoing open, endovascular, or hybrid revascularization procedures for claudication and/or limb-threatening ischemia at Tampere University hospital between 2010 and 2020 were retrospectively studied in this single-center cohort study.
Controlled lumbar cerebrospinal fluid drainage effectively decreases the need for second and third tier interventions for intracranial hypertension in severe traumatic brain injury patients.

Article Synopsis
- Early treatment of elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) in severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is critical, but managing refractory high ICP is difficult due to limited therapeutic options.
- Controlled lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage is an effective ICP reduction method that has not been widely adopted due to safety concerns, despite being used at the authors' center for over 15 years.
- A study of 45 severe TBI patients showed that lumbar drainage significantly reduced episodes of ICP and the need for further invasive therapies, resulting in improved in-hospital mortality and better functional outcomes six months post-injury.
Real-world outcomes of micropulse transscleral laser therapy in glaucoma patients: Efficacy of initial and repeated treatment, transient intraocular pressure spikes.

Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital Basel, Basel, Switzerland.
Purpose: To investigate the clinical outcomes of micropulse transscleral laser therapy (MP-TLT) in a cohort of glaucoma patients, including safety profile, post-operative transient intraocular pressure (IOP) spikes, long-term efficacy and prognostic factors in terms of IOP-lowering.
Methods: This was a retrospective observational cohort study. Medical records of all patients who consecutively underwent MP-TLT between May 2019 and February 2023 at a tertiary referral centre were scrutinised and relevant data were retrospectively analysed.
Should Hypervascular Incidentalomas Detected on Per-Interventional Cone Beam Computed Tomography during Intra-Arterial Therapies for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Impact the Treatment Plan in Patients Waiting for Liver Transplantation?
Cancers (Basel)
June 2024
Medical Imaging Department, Henri Mondor University Hospital, 51 Avenue du Marechal de Lattre de Tassigny, 94010 Creteil, France.
Background: Current guidelines do not indicate any comprehensive management of hepatic hypervascular incidentalomas (HVIs) discovered in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients during intra-arterial therapies (IATs). This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of HVIs detected on per-interventional cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) during IAT for HCC in patients waiting for liver transplantation (LT).
Material And Methods: In this retrospective single-institutional study, all liver-transplanted HCC patients between January 2014 and December 2018 who received transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) or radioembolization (TARE) before LT were included.
