PurposeThe study aimed to describe central nervous system (CNS) progression in patients with infantile-onset Pompe disease (IOPD) and explore the potential clinical impact predictors.MethodsPatients IOPD treated enzyme replacement therapy were longitudinally followed brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation for IQ scores from 2004 2021. Investigation of CNS involvement focused on white matter (WM) abnormalities was quantified using a scoring metachromatic leukodystrophy. MRI...
Although studies continue to demonstrate lower complications in neurointerventions using transradial access (TRA) compared with transfemoral approaches, anatomic radial variants can be difficult navigate and remain one of the frequent causes site conversion.To evaluate predictors TRA failure neuroendovascular patients loops suggest a protocol for managing these anomalies.A prospective collection undergoing at participating institutions from July 2018 September 2020 was reviewed. Patients...
Abstract Cephalic arch stenosis (CAS) is a common cause of AV dialysis access failure and notoriously difficult to treat with conventional venoplasty. Although stent graft (SG) placement has improved patency rate, they are prone caused by edge stenosis. We investigate the effect SG diameter relative cephalic vein on rate among hemodialysis patients dysfunctional arteriovenous CAS. identified 22 recalcitrant or post-venoplasty vessel rupture received placement. Patients were divided into two...

Coronary artery calcification (CAC) burden assessed by Agatston score (AS) is currently recommended to stratify patients at risk for future acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Besides the CAC burden, biostructure of may also play a vital role in vulnerability CAC, which CT radiomics could reveal. Propensity-score matching traditional factors and between ACS asymptomatic groups radically remove biases allow exploration characteristic features ACS.We retrospectively identified 77 with who had scan...
Double-low CT aortography (DLCTA) is increasingly used in follow-up studies of aortic aneurysm after endovascular repair (EVAR). However, whether DLCTA can reliably detect the presence endoleak not clear.From February 2014 to October 2019, patients who received EVAR, underwent surveillance, and had at least one standard CTA protocol (120 kVp, 400 mg I/kg) (70-80 200 were included. The integrated findings sequential change considered as reference for endoleak.In all, 36 TEVAR 24 EVAR; 62 167...
Purpose: To detect and quantify the association between cardiac substructure irradiation risk of developing radiation pneumonitis (RP) within a multivariate framework for patients treated with conventional external beam radiotherapy non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: All evaluable 3‐D conformal therapy (3D‐CRT) treatment plans registered outcomes NSCLC 1991 2001 were eligible this study (N=209). RP events occurred in 49 (23.4%) patients, defined as requiring steroid management or...
Purpose: To assess the feasibility of a rapid and accurate joint therapist‐physicist QA procedure to verify accuracy alignment kV imaging system with MV radiation Isocenter prior frameless SRS treatment. Methods: A Winston‐Lutz phantom was CT scanned slice spacing .75 mm. The isocenter placed within 0.1 mm center sphere. plan created containing 4 static 2 × cm MLC fields corresponding portal images, kv setup both spaced at 90d gantry angles CBCT field. Prior treatment, therapists place WL...
To the Editor: We would like to thank authors of recent letter editor for their interest in our article describing approach a patient with an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) who received flow-diverting stent therapy through transradial access (TRA).1,2 ARSA, or arteria lusoria, is one most common aortic arch anomalies, observed 2% general population, and has even higher rates patients Down syndrome.3 Further discussion research on this anomaly needed; as such, we appreciate...
Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is an arteriopathy of medium-sized vessels causing pathological arterial wall fragility. However, only minimal data exist on evaluating the risk transradial access (TRA) in these patients. We describe case a woman her 70s who underwent left middle meningeal artery embolisation for acute-on-chronic subdural haematoma via right TRA. Radial angiography demonstrated significant FMD throughout entire upper extremity. To prevent radial spasm, 23 cm sheath was placed...

Transradial access (TRA) has become increasingly utilized in neurointerventions because it reduces site complications. However, radial artery anomalies can be difficult to navigate, often necessitating conversion femoral access. We describe the case of a female patient her early 70s who underwent preoperative embolization carotid body tumor via right TRA. Her angiogram demonstrated presence loop which was successfully navigated with triaxial system but would not spontaneously reduce, even...
