Acute Hepatitis Related to Hepatitis E Virus Genotype 3f Infection in Brazil.
J Med Virol
November 2024

Article Synopsis
- * In group 1 (44 patients with acute hepatitis A), 4% tested positive for HEV IgM and 14.5% for IgG, while in group 2 (47 patients with non-A-C AH), these rates were 4.3% for IgM and 14.9% for IgG; only one sample from group 2 tested positive for HEV RNA.
- * The findings suggest HEV should be considered in non-A-C acute hepatitis cases, particularly as one patient with HEV recently traveled to a high-serop
The frozen elephant trunk technique in acute aortic dissection: the ultimate solution? An institutional experience.
Front Cardiovasc Med
July 2024
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, University Hospital Muenster, Muenster, Germany.
Objective: Acute aortic dissection remains a serious emergency in the field of cardiovascular medicine and a challenge for cardiothoracic surgeons. In the present study, we seek to compare the outcomes of different surgical techniques in the repair of type A acute aortic dissection.
Methods: Between April 2015 and May 2023, 213 patients (82 women, aged: 63.
Aortic Outcome after Implementation of a Treatment Strategy for Type B Aortic Dissection Involving the Aortic Arch.
Ann Vasc Surg
January 2025
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London, UK; Department of Surgery and Interventional Sciences, University College London, London, UK.
Objective: To evaluate the outcomes achieved after implementing a treatment strategy for non-A non-B (NANB) (B 1-2 D according to the latest consensus document of the Society of Vascular Surgery (SVS) and Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) acute aortic dissection (AAD)).
Methods: This retrospective observational study adhered to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist. All cases of NANB AAD (B 1-2 D) treated at our institution between January 2016 and December 2022 were reviewed.
Ascending Geometry After Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair for Descending Aortic Dissection.
Ann Vasc Surg
December 2024
Faculty of Medicine, Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital Freiburg Heart Centre, Freiburg, Germany, University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany.
Background: This study aimed to assess geometry changes of the ascending aorta after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for descending aortic dissection and identify potential risk factors for diameter and length change.
Methods: Between April 2009 and July 2021, 102 patients were treated for acute descending aortic dissections (type B and non-A non-B) with TEVAR and were included in this analysis. Computed tomography angiographic scans were transferred to a dedicated imaging software and detailed aortic measurements (including length, diameter and area) were taken in multiplanar reconstruction postoperatively, after 6 months and annually thereafter.
Challenges in Diagnosis of Non-A Non-B Acute Aortic Dissection.
Ann Vasc Surg
November 2024
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London, UK; Department of Surgery and Interventional Sciences, University College London, London, UK.
Background: Non-A non-B (NANB) aortic dissections are uncommon and frequently unrecognized diseases. However, their proper identification is crucial given the unpredictable behavior of the dissected aorta with potential mortality and increased morbidity. We investigate the accuracy of radiological computed tomography angiography (CTA) reports in the diagnosis of acute NANB and the risk related to delayed recognition or misdiagnosis.
