Tissue‐retained needles in people who inject drugs: A systematic review of case reports and series on clinical presentations, complications and management

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Tissue‐retained needles from intravenous drug use can cause rare but severe complications, ranging from local to systemic infections to needle embolization. Due to the limited evidence and the lack of epidemiological studies on the issue, we systematically reviewed the literature focusing on case reports and case series on ...

Hospital Costs Associated With Mechanical Left Ventricular Unloading Devices During VA ECMO for Adult Cardiogenic Shock

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
In a cohort of patients with cardiogenic shock supported with V‐A ECMO, the addition of left ventricular mechanical unloading was associated with higher median hospitalization costs ($390 508 vs. $320 269), longer hospital length of stay (IRR 1.06, p < 0.001), and lower mortality compared with VA ECMO alone (HR 0.62, p = 0.006).

Prognostic Value of Small Coved‐Type ST‐Segment Area in Patients With Spontaneous Type 1 Brugada Syndrome

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Electrical and structural abnormalities in Brugada syndrome lead to a smaller coved‐type ST‐segment area. A reduced ST‐segment area may identify patients at elevated risk of ventricular fibrillation. ABSTRACT Background Risk stratification in Brugada syndrome (BrS) remains challenging.

Sustained Idiopathic Outflow Tract Ventricular Tachycardia: Clinical Evidence for RVOT Predominance

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Idiopathic outflow tract premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are most commonly localized in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). The clinical significance of sustained outflow tract ventricular tachycardia (OT‐VT) regarding any predominance to one specific anatomic area remains uncertain.

Contrast‐enhanced CT—Nephrotoxic or not? A critical review of propensity‐score‐adjusted studies

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Retrospective, propensity‐score‐adjusted (PSA) studies have indicated to practitioners in the field that contrast‐induced acute kidney injury (AKI) after contrast‐enhanced CT (CECT) is of minor importance or even non‐existent. This has led to controversies between clinicians demanding CECT not to miss any diagnoses and radiologists reluctant ...

NT‐proBNP as a Predictor of Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Cryoballoon, Radiofrequency and Pulsed‐Field Ablation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Central Illustration: In a study investigating AF recurrence after PVI with RFA, CBA, and PFA, elevated NT‐proBNP emerged as a strong predictor of recurrence within the first year, outperforming other clinical measures. Color‐coded recurrence‐free survival probability charts derived from these data are proposed to support individualized clinical ...

Development and Validation of a Nomogram to Predict the Difficult Transradial Approach for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty in Radiocephalic Arteriovenous Fistulas

Seminars in Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The transradial approach (TRA) is a critical access method for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in hemodialysis (HD) patients with arteriovenous fistula (AVF) dysfunction, yet its technical challenges remain unaddressed. Currently, no predictive tools exist to assess TRA feasibility.
