OBJECTIVES: Thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) is widely used for the treatment of aortic dissection. Endograft oversizing is a risk factor for stent graft-induced new entry tears and retrograde type A aortic dissection. However, there is no clear consensus on the optimal graft size selection for Stanford type B acute or subacute aortic dissection (TBAD). Herein, we examined the safety and efficacy of TEVAR using an intentionally undersized endograft to treat TBAD. METHODS: This retrospective chart review study included 82 patients who underwent TEVAR for acute or subacute Stanford TBAD between 2015 and 2022...

OBJECTIVE: Weflow embedded branch stent was used in the treatment of Stanford type B aortic dissection (TBAD) involving the left subclavian artery (LSA), and the effectiveness of the stent in the short and medium and term was observed. METHODS: The clinical data of 22 patients with TBAD involving LSA treated with Weflow embedded branch stent from the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University from December 2020 to October 2021were retrospectively analyzed. The changes in systolic blood pressure of the left upper limb at the onset and postoperative period, the patency rate of left subclavian artery stent at 1, 6, and 12 months after surgery, the change of true and false lumen diameters, and the occurrence of complications were evaluated...

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has been widely adopted as a standard for treating complicated acute and high-risk uncomplicated Stanford Type-B aortic dissections. The treatment redirects the blood flow towards the true lumen by covering the proximal dissection tear which promotes sealing of the false lumen. Despite advances in TEVAR, over 30% of Type-B dissection patients require additional interventions. This is primarily due to the presence of a persistent patent false lumen post-TEVAR that could potentially enlarge over time...

BACKGROUND: Acute type A aortic dissection (aTAAD) is a critical and life-threatening condition. Previous research has demonstrated that the use of ketorolac not only reduces the progression, incidence, and severity of aortic aneurysms in animal models, but also decreases postoperative mortality and complications in patients undergoing open abdominal aortic aneurysm replacement. However, there is a lack of studies investigating the efficacy of ketorolac in treating aTAAD in humans. Therefore, we conducted a study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ketorolac in patients with aTAAD...

OBJECTIVE: Negative remodeling of the distal aorta following proximal repair for acute aortic dissection has garnered growing attention. This clinical scenario has spurred the development of techniques and devices. A multicenter, prospective, and randomized controlled study was conducted with the aim of confirming the safety and effectiveness of a newly-designed flowdynamics dense mesh stent for the treatment of residual dissection after proximal repair. METHODS: Patients with nonchronic residual dissection affecting visceral branches were prospectively enrolled at three centers and randomly allocated to either the FDMS group or the control group...

The use of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) and Stanford type B aortic dissection (TBAD) has been increasing; however, in terms of etiology, the differences of long term after TEVAR outcomes remain unexplored. Thus, we investigated etiology-specific long-term results of TEVAR for TAA and TBAD. A total of 421 TEVAR procedures were performed at our institution from July 2007 to December 2021; 249 TAA cases and 172 TBAD cases were included. Traumatic aortic dissection and aortic injury cases were excluded...

BACKGROUND: Cardiopulmonary bypass induces a systemic inflammatory response and alterations in fluid homeostasis, resulting in generalized tissue edema. Additionally, ischemia-reperfusion injury following cardioplegic arrest presumably prompts organ-specific myocardial edema. CASE PRESENTATION: The case report presents a 75-year-old Caucasian male diagnosed with aortic dissection, Stanford type A, who underwent complicated open-heart surgery. Postoperatively, the patient developed excessive myocardial edema, particularly affecting the right ventricle myocardium to an extent where the right ventricle surpassed the sternal rim, making it impossible to close the sternum...

Amazonia's floodplain system is the largest and most biodiverse on Earth. Although forests are crucial to the ecological integrity of floodplains, our understanding of their species composition and how this may differ from surrounding forest types is still far too limited, particularly as changing inundation regimes begin to reshape floodplain tree communities and the critical ecosystem functions they underpin. Here we address this gap by taking a spatially explicit look at Amazonia-wide patterns of tree-species turnover and ecological specialization of the region's floodplain forests...

IMPORTANCE: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a leading cause of blindness in children, with significant disparities in outcomes between high-income and low-income countries, due in part to insufficient access to ROP screening. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate how well autonomous artificial intelligence (AI)-based ROP screening can detect more-than-mild ROP (mtmROP) and type 1 ROP. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This diagnostic study evaluated the performance of an AI algorithm, trained and calibrated using 2530 examinations from 843 infants in the Imaging and Informatics in Retinopathy of Prematurity (i-ROP) study, on 2 external datasets (6245 examinations from 1545 infants in the Stanford University Network for Diagnosis of ROP [SUNDROP] and 5635 examinations from 2699 infants in the Aravind Eye Care Systems [AECS] telemedicine programs)...

Although rare, rhabdomyolysis is a serious complication of cardiothoracic surgery. Daptomycin is a polypeptide antimicrobial agent used to treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections of the soft tissues. Daptomycin is associated with elevations in serum creatine kinase (CK). A 50-year-old man with acute Stanford A-type aortic dissection was performed Bentall procedure and total arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk. The CK level was 6,573 U/L on the first postoperative day (POD), suggesting rhabdomyolysis associated with lower limb ischemia...
