Congenital abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with coarctation has been considered an extremely rare condition. In this study, we present a 3-year-old boy, who was diagnosed by chance with congenital AAA at first operation. We replaced the AAA+coarctation with a 6-mm polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft. Histological examination of the aortic wall revealed no particular abnormalities. Collateral vessels were noted to develop over 14 years of followup. Good blood flow to both lower limbs and no intermittent claudication were observed. After growth, at the age 17, he underwent extra-anatomical bypass using a 12-mm PTFE graft. This is the first report of successful treatment of congenital AAA+coarctation with longterm followup.

Research has shown that physical activity on prescription (PAP), used in Swedish healthcare, increases patients' physical activity, but data are lacking regarding the long-term effects of PAP on exercise capacity. Therefor exercise capacity was evaluated in patients with metabolic risk factors, after 4.5 years of PAP treatment provided by physiotherapists in primary healthcare.

During the omicron wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and with SARS-CoV-2 vaccines becoming available, seroprevalence rates rose in children and adolescents. This study investigated the impact of both SARS-CoV-2 infections and vaccinations on the incidence of acute and prolonged symptoms in real-world conditions during the transition from the pandemic to the endemic phase. Participants from a pediatric population based seroprevalence study (CorKID study) were followed up at least two and for almost four years by survey of health status features and symptoms suggestive of post-COVID syndrome (PCS).

Background: Whether to stop oral anticoagulants after a first unprovoked venous thromboembolism (VTE) is challenging, partially due to an intriguingly higher risk of VTE recurrence (rVTE) in men after therapy discontinuation. DNA methylation (DNAm) differences between men and women might underly this sex-biased rVTE risk difference.
Aim: To investigate sex-specific associations between DNAm at cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites and rVTE.
Intravascular lithotripsy in calcified left main coronary artery: Procedural success and 1-year clinical outcomes.

Background: Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) has an excellent efficacy and safety profile in the treatment of calcified coronary lesions during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, data regarding its use on left main (LM) lesions are still limited.
Objective: We aimed to analyze the technical success and 1-year clinical outcomes in calcified LM lesions treated with IVL.
Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients have an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer. High-risk colorectal colitis-associated neoplasia (HR-CAN) can be difficult to treat using traditional endoscopic resection methods. Aim of the study is to evaluate the outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) on IBD patients with HR-CANs.
