Abstract

[DOI:\hrefhttps://dx.doi.org/10.1093/ejcts/ezv05410.1093/ejcts/ezv054] [PubMed:\hrefhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2572182125721821]; Endovascular treatment of thoracic aortic lesions appears to be advantageous. However, long-term outcomes remain poorly reported. This retrospective study reported 6-year outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair.\ A total of 74 patients underwent endovascular thoracic aorta treatments between 1999 and 2007; 13 had thoracic aortic dissections, 19 had traumatic aortic injuries, 35 had aneurysms, 6 had pseudoaneurysms and 1 had a penetrating ulcer. The mean follow-up was 66 months after 30 perioperative days. Yearly follow-ups included computed tomography angiography or magnetic resonance angiography. Patient demographics, mortality, complications and reinterventions were analysed.\ The early 30-day mortality and the overall late mortality were 9.5 (7/74) and 37.8% (28/74), respectively. Late mortality was higher in patients with aneurysms than in the other groups (20/35; 57% vs 8/39; 20.5%; P = 0.002). Aortic-related mortality occurred in 5/35 (14%) patients with aneurysms, but not in other groups (P = 0.02). No relationships among late complications were found for traumatic aortic injuries. The most common complication was an endoleak (21/74, 28.4%), which occurred more frequently with aneurysms than other disorders (18/35, 51.4% vs 3/39, 7.7%; P < 0.001). Endoleaks also occurred most frequently in aortic-related deaths (16/69 vs 5/5; P = 0.001). Type 1 endoleaks occurred significantly more often with aneurysms (13/35) than with other disorders (P = 0.004). Reintervention was required in 9 patients (12%); 8 with atherosclerotic aneurysms (8/35; 23%). A false lumen was thrombosed in 54% of dissections (7/13), and shrank in 39% (5/13).\ Long-term outcomes depended on aortic pathology. Aortic aneurysms were the most complicated and caused the highest mortality, probably due to atherosclerotic disease evolution. Patients with traumatic aortic injuries appeared to have the best long-term outcomes.

All images were reviewed by two experienced radiologists. Image quality was rated on a qualitative 5-point scale (1: not assessable to 5: excellent). Signal value was measured on cross-sectional planes for the afferent arteries and efferent veins of the PAVM, and for normal reference healthy arteries and veins. The difference in time to peak for each coupled artery/vein (dTTPav) was calculated and compared with a Mann-Whitney test between PAVMs and reference vessels.\ Mean image quality was 3.2 ± 0.9. dTTPav was significantly smaller in PAVMs (0.15 ± 0.76 sec) than in reference vessels (3.75 ± 1.62 sec), P < 0.001.\ 4D-MRA is a promising tool for noninvasive assessment of PAVM patency.

Abstract

To evaluate the use of a recently developed fast-clearing ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) for detection of vascular inflammation in atherosclerotic plaque.The study protocol was approved by the animal experimentation ethics committee. A recently introduced USPIO, P904, and a reference-standard USPIO, ferumoxtran-10, were tested in a rabbit model of induced aortic atherosclerosis. In vivo magnetic resonance (MR) angiography and T2*-weighted plaque MR imaging were performed at baseline and after administration of P904 and ferumoxtran-10 (administered dose for both, 1000 micromol of iron per kilogram of body weight) in 26 hyperlipidemic New Zealand white rabbits. The variation in vessel wall area over time was evaluated with nonparametric testing. Ex vivo MR imaging findings were compared with iron content at linear regression analysis.With in vivo MR imaging, plaque analysis was possible as early as 24 hours after P904 injection. The authors observed a 27.75% increase in vessel wall area due to susceptibility artifacts on day 2 (P = .04) and a 38.81% increase on day 3 (P = .04) after P904 administration compared with a 44.5% increase in vessel wall area on day 7 (P = .04) and a 34.8% increase on day 10 (P = .22) after ferumoxtran-10 administration. These susceptibility artifacts were correlated with intraplaque iron uptake in the corresponding histologic slices. The number of pixels with signal loss on the ex vivo MR images was linearly correlated with the logarithm of the iron concentration (P = .0001; R(2) = 0.93).Plaque inflammation in rabbits can be detected earlier with P904 than with ferumoxtran-10 owing to the faster blood pharmacokinetics and the early uptake of P904 in the reticuloendothelial system.http://radiology.rsnajnls.org/cgi/content/full/252/2/401/DC1.

Abstract

Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) refer to a group of severe epileptic syndromes characterized by seizures as well as a developmental delay which can be a consequence of the underlying etiology and/or the epileptic encephalopathy. The genes responsible for DEEs are numerous and their number is increasing since the availability of Next-Generation Sequencing. Pathogenic variants in GRM7, encoding the metabotropic glutamate receptor 7, were recently shown as a cause of a severe DEE with autosomal recessive inheritance. To date, only ten patients have been reported in the literature, generally with severe phenotypes including early-onset epilepsy, microcephaly, brain anomalies, and spasticity. We report here 5 patients from 3 independent families with biallelic variants in the GRM7 gene. We review the literature and provide further elements for the understanding of the genotype-phenotype correlation of this rare syndrome., (Copyright © 2024 The Authors.

Abstract

Background: Interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) has recently been defined by an international Taskforce to characterize interstitial lung disease associated with systemic manifestations limited to subtle serological and clinical autoimmune abnormalities and not fulfilling the international criteria for the diagnosis of a given connective tissue disease., Objective: to report on a series of patients with IPAF, and to compare their outcome to that of a cohort of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)., Methods: Retrospective analysis of consecutive patients in a single institution over a 3-year period., Results: Out of 778 consecutive patients with interstitial lung disease, 55% had idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (including 20.1% with IPF), 21.5% had connective tissue disease, and 7.3% had IPAF. Patients (49% of females) had a mean FVC of 64% and a mean DLco of 49%. Serologic criteria for IPAF were the most frequent (93%), followed by "morphologic" criteria (79%), and clinical criteria (47%). Fifty three percent of patients had a NSIP pattern on CT. Nailfold capillaroscopy found giant capillaries in 13/30 patients tested (23%). No significant was found in overall survival between patients with IPAF and those with IPF., Conclusion: The recently defined criteria for IPAF are fulfilled by a significant proportion of patients referred for interstitial lung disease. As compared to those with IPF, patients with IPAF are more frequently females, have distinctive characteristics, have relatively frequent abnormalities at nailfold capillaroscopy, with no difference in age or in overall survival. Prospective studies are needed to guide the management of IPAF., (Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)
