We report a case of mesenteric ischemia after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for chronic type B aortic dissection performed at a different institution. Computed tomography angiography findings indicated that the previous TEVAR had been deployed distally into the false lumen. To mitigate this, a large fenestration was created between the false lumen and true lumen.

Background: Left atrial dissection is a rare and occasionally fatal complication of cardiac surgery and is defined as the creation of a false chamber through a tear in the mitral valve annulus extending into the left atrial wall. Some patients are asymptomatic, while others present with various symptoms, such as chest pain, dyspnea, and even cardiac arrest. Although there is no established management for left atrial dissection, surgery should be considered in patients with hemodynamic disruption.

Background And Purpose: MRI is crucial for multiple sclerosis (MS), but the relative value of portable ultra-low field MRI (pULF-MRI), a technology that holds promise for extending access to MRI, is unknown. We assessed white matter lesion (WML) detection on pULF-MRI compared to high-field MRI (HF-MRI), focusing on blinded assessments, assessor self-training, and multiplanar acquisitions.
Methods: Fifty-five adults with MS underwent pULF-MRI following their HF-MRI.

Introduction And Significance: Zenker's diverticulum is a rare condition characterized by a false diverticulum, as a true diverticulum involves herniation of all wall layers outward. Dysphagia, difficulty in swallowing, is the most common symptom. Diagnosis is primarily made through X-ray studies using contrast material during swallowing.

Purpose: We aimed to validate a clinically available artificial intelligence (AI) model to assist general radiologists in the detection of intracranial aneurysm (IA) in a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) study, and to explore its performance in routine clinical settings.
Methods: Two distinct cohorts of head CT angiography (CTA) data were assembled to validate an AI model. Cohort 1, comprising gold-standard consecutive CTA cases, was used in an MRMC study involving six board-certified general radiologists.
