An 83-year-old man with known history of atrial fibrillation presented for preoperative evaluation for elective left nephrectomy for cancer. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a large, free-floating, left atrial mass. Further profiling with transesophageal echocardiogram showed a free-floating mass intermittently obstructing the mitral valve.

Background: Surgical clip migration is a rare complication that can happen many years following a successful cholecystectomy. It has a similar clinical presentation as choledocholithiasis. The diagnosis is usually made using imaging modalities such as ultrasounds, computed tomography (CT) scans, or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP).

Purpose Of Review: Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) remains the basis of bladder tumor diagnosis and an effective means of treating nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). There are several limitations to this procedure: TURBT may cause free floating of malignant cells in the bladder and as a result re-implantation and early recurrence. Also, it does not allow the pathologist to define the correct spatial orientation of the specimen.

Scaffolding catalytic reactions within porous materials is a powerful strategy to enhance the reaction rates of multicatalytic systems. However, it remains challenging to develop materials with high porosity, high diversity of functional groups within the pores, and guest-adaptive tunability. Furthermore, it is challenging to capture large catalysts such as enzymes within porous materials.

Article Synopsis
- * There are no established management guidelines for CFFT, and while patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common heart abnormality, it typically isn't linked to stroke risk unless in younger patients (<55 years) where it might cause paradoxical embolism.
- * This text presents a unique case of stroke with two potential causes: CFFT and a large PFO, raising the question of which factor was the actual cause of the stroke.
