Intraoperative aortic dissection during cardiac surgery is infrequent, complicating surgical intervention in 0.04 - 1% of cases. Dissections can occur anywhere, most often as a result of direct mechanical damage at the location of the side clamp, site of cannulation of the aorta, or at the site of proximal anastomosis and may manifest as hematoma, bleeding at the cannulation site or bleeding from the proximal anastomoses or aortic suture lines. Delayed diagnosis and treatment can lead to extremely (23-41%) high mortality rate.
Coronary artery perforation during percutaneous coronaryRamachandra Barik
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has considerable
efficacy in the treatment of coronary artery disease, but it is
associated with some complications.[1‑4] One of the uncommon
complications of PCI is a coronary artery perforation, with an
incidence rate of 0.2%–0.6%, which may lead to pericardial
effusion and may consequently progress to cardiac tamponade,
myocardial infarction, and death.[1‑8] We herein present a case
of a right coronary artery (RCA) perforation during PCI.
A Review of Atherectomy in Peripheral Arterial Diseaseasclepiuspdfs
Atherectomy involves exciting technology and offers expanded treatment options for PAD. Data are scant so far in most lower extremity territories to support its use over other interventions, but newer results are promising. There is still a financial benefit to choosing atherectomy in the outpatient setting that likely drives much of its popularity among interventionalists. Atherectomy is an exciting technology for peripheral vascular intervention. Its use has greatly increased over the last decade. Data on its superiority to angioplasty or angioplasty with stenting are scant. Here, we review atherectomy techniques and principles along with results and controversy surrounding its use.

CABG may not be sufficient to treat the diffusely diseased coronary arteries. New techniques such as coronary endarterectomy with patch angioplasty may provide a solution.
SCAD is a rare, sometimes fatal, traumatic condition with approximately eighty percent of cases affecting women. The coronary artery can suddenly develop a tear, causing blood to flow between the layers which forces them apart, potentially causing a blockage of blood flow through the artery and a resulting heart attack. The condition may be related to female hormone levels, as it is often seen in post-partum women, or in women during or very near menstruation, but not always. It is not uncommon for SCAD to occur in people in good physical shape and with no known prior history of heart related illness. It is also not uncommon for SCAD to occur in people in their 20's, 30's, and 40's, as well as older.
Coronary angioplasty has revolutionized the management of coronary artery disease. It has not ceased to develop to become the reference method of myocardial revascularization. The aim of our study is to evaluate the ultrasound parameters of left ventricular function after coronary angioplasty. This is a prospective analytical study including patients with stable coronary artery disease with a known coronary artery anatomy programmed for coronary angioplasty. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed four hours before and seven days after myocardial revascularization.

Vertebral artery pseudo-aneurysms and dissections are known to occur as a result of mechanical
manipulations of the cervical region, traumatic injury, spontaneously and iatrogenic injury because of central
venous catheterization. Central venous lines have become an integral part of patient care, but they are
not without complications. Vertebral artery injury (leading to pseudo-aneurysm and dissection) is one of
the rarer complications of central venous catheter placement. We report a case of inadvertent vertebral
artery catheterization during a dialysis catheter placement which subsequently demonstrated arterial
blood. Duplex ultrasound and computed tomographic (CT) scan confirmed vertebral artery catheterization.
It was successfully treated with open surgical technique by the vascular surgeon because of the size of
catheter and subsequent requirement of artery repair. There were no neurological sequelae. Open surgical
repair remains the gold standard of treatment. Endovascular repair of vertebral artery pseudo-aneurysms
has been described with promising outcomes, but long-term results are lacking. This case report describes
the rare iatrogenic event of vertebral artery injury and reviews its etiology, diagnosis, complications, and management.
Intraoperative Plain Balloon Angioplasty to Augment Creation of Radiocephalic...semualkaira
The native small cephalic vein may be overlooked during radiocephalic Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) creation due to concerns over failure rates particularly if the diameter is small. However, native access has benefits in patency and infection risk in selected patients over alternatives such as arteriovenous graft or tunneled hemodialysis catheter. The aim of this study was to review the outcomes of intraoperative Plain Balloon Angioplasty (PBA) in patients with small cephalic veins during AVF creation. We evaluated the maturation, primary and secondary patency rate of salvaged arteriovenous fistulae and identified risk factors related to patency rate.

Outcome After Procedures for Retained Blood Syndrome in Coronary SurgeryPaul Molloy
OBJECTIVES:
Incomplete drainage of blood from around the heart and lungs can lead to retained blood syndrome (RBS) after cardiac sur-
gery. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of and the outcome after procedures for RBS in patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)-
Coarctation of aorta is characterized by narrowing of the aortic lumen. Complex lesion are complicated by associated cardiac anomalies and picked in infancy while simple coarctations are not diagnosed until adulthood when it manifests as secondary hypertension or its complications. We are reporting a case of severe coarctation of aorta which presented as ST elevation on anterior chest leads with severe sudden onset left sided neck pain mimicking anterior wall myocardial infarction and patient was thrombolysed due to dynamic ECG changes and new onset severe left sided neck pain.
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls all body functions. Dysregulation of this system may be responsible of bradycardia. The main objective of our study is to describe the autonomic profile of patients with bradycardia and to determine, through testing cardiovascular autonomic reflexes its involvement in the pathogenesis of idiopathic symptomatic bradycardia.
The study objective was to evaluate the cardioprotective activity of Biofield Energized test item (DMEM) in rat cardiomyocytes (H9c2) cells. The test item (DMEM medium) was divided into three parts, first part received one-time Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment by a renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Dahryn Trivedi and was labeled as the one-time Biofield Energy Treated (BT-I) DMEM, while second part received the two-times Biofield Energy Treatment and is denoted as BT-II DMEM.
Essential hypertension, the most common type, is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly, a rapidly growing section of the population. It is a sad reality that until the 1950s treating benign hypertension was not thought to be necessary. The tragic death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt on April 12, 1945 at the age of 63 years, with a blood pressure of 350/195mmHg, and without treatment shocked the healthcare community.
Beats classification is an essential step in the ECG signal analysis for cardiac arrhythmias detection. There are multiple alternatives to solve this problem, but these are considerably reduced when re-al-time restrictions are added to the analysis. The goal of this work is to expose an optimal solution based mainly on the use of voltage values of the signal in the time domain and compare it with other based on Daubechies’ Wavelets analysis. Several measures are used in both feature spaces to determine the similarity of every beat to a patient’s specific patterns and, after that, a method similar to clustering’s algorithms is used to assign a class to each.
Coronary artery diseases (CAD) known as atherosclerotic heart disease, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease (CHD), or ischemic heart disease (IHD). CAD is the largest contributor of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and mortality rate is due in prevalence to atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory condition of the arterial wall. Unfortunately, myocardial infarction (MI) is still a first common manifestation of CHD and, in about 50% of patients; angina pectoris is the first symptom of the pathology.
“In past centuries physicians in some cardiologic PATHOLOGY were used to prescribe to the patient a long rest in order to recuperate health status. (There weren’t available highly efficient drugs strategies and so a long rest without physical and-or psychological high stress contributes to this process). In example in oriental medicine we can see body balances strategies, and in some psychologic techniques we can see that time is relevant to reequilibrate some conditions (acute stress).
Hemorheological indexes, living habits, medical history and genetics factor are primary risk factors in Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). In the present study the relation of all factors to the severity of CHD was examined. The data of 282 patients (mean age: 60±9 years) diagnosed with CHD and 229 healthy controls (mean age: 59±7 years) from Wenzhou Medical University were analyzed.
In 2001, a mathematical model for determining the surface area of the left ventricle (LV) and another one for its volume (VLV) was presented. Both were based on the consideration that the geometry of a normal LV is similar to the one of a Truncated Prolate Spheroid (TPS).
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) had become a novel and secure procedure to treat aortic stenosis that had become more accepted over the years; the approach and different types of device improve the life expectancy, diminish the complications and costs in public health. Along with the improvement in technology the minimalist approach had gain popularity to ameliorate the overall patient health.
Despite the advances in diagnostic methods and techniques for surgical treatment in the last two decades, aortic diseases remain a major cause of mortality and cardiovascular morbidity, challenging physicians and molecular biologists. It is believed that about 600 million years ago, during the Cambrian period, variant forms of life appeared, among them were the oxygen-producing cyano bacteria.
The central venous access is one of the most common procedures in interventional nephrology [1-3]. One of the known complications of this procedure is the right branch lesion of the His bundle that leads to temporary or permanent blockage.
Infective endocarditis is a life-threatening disease caused by bacterial infection of the endothelium and cardiac valves, either native or prosthetic. In the present work the role of the new microbiological techniques (techniques of detection and amplification of the subunit 16 ribosomal sRNA by means of the chain reaction of the polymerase in blood or tissue, fluorescent in situ hybridization, and matrix-assisted laser is reviewed desorption/ ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) in the diagnosis of infective endocarditis.
Epidemiological and clinical evidence confirm that hearts are sensitive to ionizing radiation (IR). They are even more radiosensitive than formerly believed. Mechanistic studies show that the radiosensitivity is not due to the heart muscles but mainly to the cardiovascular system (CV).
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery is the most frequently performed surgical intervention for relieving consequences associated with myocardial infarction. Despite its efficiency and advances in the methodology of collection, preservation and early onset antithrombotic treatment, vein graft failure is estimated between 15 and 30% during the first year. After 10 years of surgery, only 50% of these grafts are free of significant stenosis. Thrombosis, intimalhyperplasia, and accelerated atherosclerosis are the primary events pathophysiological of vein graft.
In cardiology practice, we often come across patients presenting with anginal pain who undergo coronary angiogram which reveals either normal or non-obstructive epicardial coronaries. Importance is given to epicardial coronaries and the coronary microvasculature which could be the cause of angina is often overlooked. These patients are then labeled to have non-cardiac chest pain and musculoskeletal or psychogenic etiology is suggested. However, with growing interest in coronary microvasculature which are the tiny blood vessels at the tissue level in myocardium, diagnostic modalities and treatment options for coronary microvascular disease are being explored.
Cardiomyopathies are heart muscle diseases originated from a series of aggressions, such as genetic defects, cardiac myocyte injury or infiltration of myocardial tissue. Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by an impairment of the left ventricular or biventricular contraction, caused by familial, genetic, viral, autoimmune, alcoholic, toxic, or of unknown cause.
A hypothesis is presented which suggests that the cardiac L-type calcium channel opens in a stochastic fashion as the calcium channel protein complex moves around in the lipid of the outer leaflet of the sarcolemma. Opening occurs when there is release of calcium ions that are bound in the polarised state to anionic phospholipid of the inner leaflet, the release being a consequence of proton penetration into the sarcolemma upon depolarisation.
Catheter ablation of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) is an effective treatment when disabling symptoms or ectopy-induced cardiomyopathy are present in patients refractory to pharmacological therapy. When PVCs originate close to His bundle, radiofrequency ablation is burdened by unacceptable risk of conduction pathways damage or atrio-ventricular block. Here we report a case of a patient with highly symptomatic ventricular ectopy originating close to His bundle undergoing successfull cathetercryoablation.
Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) including coronary artery disease and its final result-myocardial infarction is the greatest single cause of mortality and one of the most common cause of disability. To reduce mortality, it is important to pay attention to the diagnosis of ischaemia as well as the inclusion of appropriate treatment.The effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment can be increased by using new cardiac-specific markers characterized by high sensitivity and specificity whose level correlates with the severity and extent of necrosis. Such a novel biomarker seems to be growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15).
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
