The BEnefit of LONGitudinal Micro-Incisions Prior to Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon Angioplasty (BELONG Study) in Patients With Lower Extremity Arterial Disease: Clinical Outcomes at 12 Months.
J Endovasc Ther
January 2025
Angiology, HFR Fribourg, Hôpital Universitaire et Cantonal, Fribourg, Switzerland.
Purpose: Angioplasty of lower extremity arteries with calcification may result in flow-limiting dissection requiring bail-out stenting with unfavorable long-term outcomes. Vessel preparation prior to angioplasty may improve immediate results of the angioplasty and long-term patency. This prospective study assessed the 12-month outcomes of patients who underwent novel vessel preparation catheter, the FLEX Vessel Prep™ System (FLEX VP), prior to drug-coated balloon angioplasty (DCB-PTA).

January 2025
Pediatric Emergency Department, St. Christopher's Hopsoital for Children, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Background: Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a serious and potentially fatal condition that is relatively rare in the pediatric population. In patients presenting with massive/submassive PE, catheter-directed Therapy (CDT) presents an emerging therapeutic modality by which PE can be managed.
Methods: Electronic databases were systematically searched through May 2024.
Comparison of failure rates between full-barium and striped barium distal shunt catheters: a matched case-control study.
Childs Nerv Syst
January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Children's of Alabama, 1600 7th Avenue South, Lowder 400, Birmingham, AL, 35233, USA.
Purpose: We hypothesize that distal shunt catheters fully impregnated with barium are more prone to failure compared to distal catheters with only a barium stripe. We sought to evaluate this distinction using a matched case-control study.
Methods: Patient records over an 8-year period were queried for distal shunt revisions for fracture or disconnection (cases).
Retrospective evaluation of a novel ultrasound-based imaging analysis software for predicting radiofrequency ablation areas.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan.
Objective: This study aimed to introduce and evaluate a novel software-based system, BioTrace, designed for real-time monitoring of thermal ablation tissue damage during image-guided radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: BioTrace utilizes a proprietary algorithm to analyze the temporo-spatial behavior of thermal gas bubble activity during ablation, as seen in conventional B-mode ultrasound imaging. Its predictive accuracy was assessed by comparing the ablation zones it predicted with those annotated by radiologists using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) 24 hours post-treatment, considered the gold standard.
Strategies to reduce hyperglycemia-related anxiety in elite athletes with type 1 diabetes: A qualitative analysis.
PLoS One
January 2025
School of Human Nutrition, McGill University, Montreal, Québec, Canada.
Objective: Managing blood glucose levels is challenging for elite athletes with type 1 diabetes (T1D) as competition can cause unpredictable fluctuations. While fear of hypoglycemia during physical activity is well documented, research on hyperglycemia-related anxiety (HRA) is limited. HRA refers to the heightened fear that hyperglycemia-related symptoms will impair functioning.
