Coronary Perforation During Excimer Laser Angioplasty in a Patient With Prior Thoracic Radiotherapy
ABSTRACT Background Management of heavily calcified coronary lesions remains challenging despite advances in plaque‐modifying technologies. Excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) is an effective adjunctive strategy with a low risk of no‐reflow. Case Summary A 75‐year‐old woman with non–ST‐segment elevation acute coronary syndrome and severe left ...

Biomarkers of lung congestion and injury in acute heart failure
Abstract Acute heart failure (AHF) classification and management are primarily based on lung congestion and/or hypoperfusion. The quantification of the vascular and tissue lung damage is not standard practice though biomarkers of lung injury may play a relevant role in this context.

Pleural pressure distribution and its relationship to lung volume and interstitial pressure
The mechanics of the pleural space has long been controversial. We summarize recent research pertaining to pleural mechanics within the following conceptual framework, which is still not universally accepted.

Hydrothorax with alveolar-pleural fistula mimicking re-expansion pulmonary edema during liver transplantation: a case report [PDF]
We present a case of an alveolar-pleural fistula with hepatic hydrothorax in a patient undergoing orthotropic liver transplantation, which was detected by drainage of transudate through an endotracheal tube during operation.

Pleural liquid pressure in dogs measured using a rib capsule
We have developed a minimally invasive method for measuring the hydrostatic pressure in the pleural space liquid. A liquid-filled capsule is bonded into a rib and a small hole is cut in the parietal pleura to allow direct communication between the ...

Abstract Aims Amyloid cardiomyopathy is caused by the deposition of light chain (AL) or transthyretin amyloid (ATTR) fibrils, that leads to a restrictive cardiomyopathy, often resulting in heart failure (HF) with preserved or reduced ejection fraction.

Prolonged air leak after IPC insertion: An unusual complication
Indwelling pleural catheters [IPC] have an important role in the management of malignant pleural effusions. We report the development of a significant air leak following IPC insertion with resultant extensive subcutaneous emphysema.

Oscillometric assessment of bronchodilator response in horses with severe asthma during remission
Abstract Background During clinical remission of severe equine asthma (SEA), affected animals can be challenging to distinguish from healthy horses. In humans, the degree of bronchodilation achieved with a β2‐adrenergic bronchodilator is helpful in differentiating asthmatics from healthy subjects.
