We present finding of right atrial thrombus concomitant with recurrent left atrial thrombus in a patient diagnosed with rheumatic severe mitral stenosis. Its significance lies in the potential complications associated with right atrial thrombus, including spontaneous or iatrogenic pulmonary embolism or paradoxical systemic embolization, underscoring the importance of thorough imaging.

Prediction of stroke in patients with severe aortic stenosis by left atrial appendage filling defect patterns on early and late-phase computed tomography.
Int J Cardiol Heart Vasc

Department of Radiology, Innsbruck Medical University, Innsbruck, Austria.
Background: Stroke is a feared complication after TAVI. The objective was to assess whether left atrial appendage (LAA) filling-defect (FD) patterns from early and late-phase computed tomography (CT), predict stroke/TIA in patients with severe aortic stenosis.
Methods: 124 patients with severe aortic stenosis (79.
Device endothelialization and morphology assessments at 1 year using computed tomography angiography: comparison of traditional with novel puncturable atrial septal defect occluders.

Background: Complete endothelialization is often not achieved within 6 months after implantation of an atrial septal defect (ASD) occluder, which may lead to microthrombus or thrombosis. This study aimed to assess the endothelialization and morphology of a novel puncturable ASD occluder (ReAces) compared with traditional occluders 1 year post-implantation using computed tomography angiography (CTA).
Methods: Fifteen patients from each group in a randomized controlled trial comparing ReAces with traditional occluders were included at the 1-year follow-up at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University.
A novel generative multi-task representation learning approach for predicting postoperative complications in cardiac surgery patients.

Objective: Early detection of surgical complications allows for timely therapy and proactive risk mitigation. Machine learning (ML) can be leveraged to identify and predict patient risks for postoperative complications. We developed and validated the effectiveness of predicting postoperative complications using a novel surgical Variational Autoencoder (surgVAE) that uncovers intrinsic patterns via cross-task and cross-cohort presentation learning.

Aim: Percutaneous vertebroplasty is generally considered a safe procedure, however, cases of cardioembolism and cardiac perforation have been reported.
Case Presentation: A 69-year-old woman was referred to our emergency department after an outpatient echocardiogram revealed a "thrombus-like" formation involving the right heart. Two weeks before she had undergone percutaneous vertebroplasty of the third to fifth lumbar vertebrae due to osteoporotic fractures.

Article Synopsis
- Primary liver cancer, mainly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is a major cause of cancer deaths, and tumor thrombus (TT) in major vessels worsens patient outcomes.
- Four male HCC patients (average age 57) with TT in the inferior vena cava or right atrium underwent surgery to remove the tumors, followed by targeted and immunotherapy.
- All cases show positive outcomes post-treatment, with some patients remaining disease-free for up to 74 months, suggesting that combining surgery with therapy could improve survival rates in advanced HCC patients.
