Waardenburg Syndrome and Left Persistent Superior Vena Cava

Journal of Clinical Imaging Science, 2018
Waardenburg syndrome (WS) is a rare genetic disorder secondary to neural crest cell developmental abnormalities. It is predominantly described as an auditory–pigmentary syndrome with diverse patient presentation, typically involving congenital sensorineural hearing loss and pigmentation abnormalities of the skin, hair, and iris.

Recent advances in multimodality imaging‐guided therapy in pericarditis

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, EarlyView.
Multiple imaging targets have been identified as essential biomarkers to confirm pericardial thickening, edema, neovascularization, inflammation, fibrosis/calcification, cardiac tamponade physiology, and constriction. This novel approach is called imaging‐guided therapy, which guides anti‐inflammatory therapy, assesses treatment response, assists in ...

Hemodialysis through persistent left superior vena cava

Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine, 2011
We report a case of end stage renal disease patient who displayed a persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) after placement of hemodialysis (HD) catheter through left internal jugular vein, as revealed by routine post-procedure X-ray chest. The diagnosis of PLSVC was confirmed by arterial blood gas, two-dimensional echocardiography, computed ...

Efficacy and Safety of Pulsed‐Field Versus High‐Power Short‐Duration Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis With Reconstructed Time‐to‐Event Data

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) and high‐power short‐duration (HPSD) ablation (45–90 W) are emerging technologies in atrial fibrillation (AF) treatment, both achieving durable pulmonary vein isolation. We aim to investigate the efficacy and safety of PFA versus HPSD ablation.
