Fenestrated Physician-Modified Endovascular Grafts for Aberrant Right Subclavian Artery and/or Kommerell's diverticulum.
J Endovasc Ther
September 2023
Department of Thoracic and Vascular Surgery, Arnaud de Villeneuve Hospital, Montpellier, France.
Objective: The aim of this case series is to report feasibility, efficiency, and safety of fenestrated physician-modified endografts (PMEGs) in aortic arch pathologies with aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) and/or Kommerell's diverticulum (KD).
Methods: All consecutive patients with ARSA and/or KD who underwent hybrid aortic arch repair combined with homemade fenestrated stent-graft from 2018 to 2022 were reviewed.
Results: Six patients with ARSA and/or KD underwent hybrid surgery for aortic repair, 4 of whom were men, with a mean age of 49 years.
Anomalous origin of coronary arteries from pulmonary artery in adults: a case series.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
June 2020
Interventional Cardiology Department, Clinico San Carlos University Hospital, Prof Martin Lagos S/N, Madrid 28040, Spain.
Background: Anomalous origin of a coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk is a small group of rare congenital anomalies present in up to 1% of the population. These patients, in absence of an adequate collateral supply, may present with congestive heart failure secondary to ischaemia, arrhythmia, or sudden cardiac death in up to 90% of cases within the first months of life.
Case Summary: We present four cases diagnosed in adulthood over 10 years in two high-volume centres.
A Mitochondrial tRNA Mutation Causes Axonal CMT in a Large Venezuelan Family.
Ann Neurol
October 2020
Department of Neurology, University of California, San Francisco, CA, USA.
Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the genetic cause for progressive peripheral nerve disease in a Venezuelan family. Despite the growing list of genes associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, many patients with axonal forms lack a genetic diagnosis.
Methods: A pedigree was constructed, based on family clinical data.

Epinephrine and left atrial and left ventricular diastolic function decrease in normal subjects.
Int J Cardiol
October 2016
Cardiovascular Research Institute "Abdel M. Fuenmayor P", University Hospital of The Andes, Mérida, Venezuela.
Background: We assessed the effect of epinephrine over left atrial and left ventricular diastolic function in subjects without structural heart disease.
Methods: Twenty-seven, 34.6±17.
Effects of epinephrine over P wave duration and ventricular repolarization in subjects without structural heart disease.
Int J Cardiol
February 2016
Cardiovascular Research Institute "Abdel M. Fuenmayor P", University Hospital of the Andes, Mérida, Venezuela.
Background: Little is known about the effects of epinephrine over atrial electrical function, AV conduction and ventricular repolarization in normal subjects. We intended to study the effects of intravenous epinephrine on the duration of P wave, inter-atrial conduction time, PR, QRS, QT, corrected QT (QTc), QTc dispersion (QTc max-min), the peak-to-end interval of T wave (Tp-e), the Tp-e/QT index, and the middle portion of ventricular repolarization length (QT-(QRS+Tp-e)) in healthy subjects.
Methods: Forty-three, 37.
