BackgroundManagement of coronary artery fistula (CAF) is based on obliterating the fistula communication between the cardiac arteries and other thoracic vessels.Case presentationWe describe the presentation of an 85-year-old female with progressive exertional dyspnea on a background of a long standing left anterior descending diagonal to pulmonary ...
OBJECTIVES: Temporal muscle thickness (TMT) is a surrogate marker of sarcopenia, correlated with survival expectancy in patients suffering from brain metastases and recurrent or treated glioblastoma. We evaluated the prognostic relevance of TMT measured on brain MRIs acquired at diagnosis in patients affected by glioblastoma. METHODS: We retrospect...

PURPOSE: The first-pass effect during mechanical thrombectomy improves clinical outcomes regardless of first-line treatment approach, but current success rates for complete clot capture with one attempt are still less than 40%. We hypothesize that the ThrombX retriever (ThrombX Medical Inc.) can better engage challenging clot models during retrieva...

Artificial intelligence (AI) holds much promise for enabling highly desired imaging diagnostics improvements. One of the most limiting bottlenecks for the development of useful clinical-grade AI models is the lack of training data. One aspect is the large amount of cases needed and another is the necessity of high-quality ground truth annotation. T...
