Abstract Background: Ruptured tiny intracranial aneurysm (RTIA) is particularly rare seen. Treatment of RTIA is more difficult and not under control.Methods: We hereby present twelve rare cases of RTIA that were diagnosed based on DSA. These patients were found due to spontaneous or traumatic SAH, 11 of whom were treated only by electrocoagulation, and one of whom was treated by stent-assisted coiling and electrocoagulation.Results: There were eight patients with aneurysms located in posterior circulation and four patients with aneurysms located in anterior circulation. 11 patients were cured only by electrocoagulation merely: ten patient’ RTIA disappeared completely and immediately and another patient’s RTIA was thrombosed two months later. The twelfth patient was carried out stent-assisted coiling and electrocoagulation. The twelve patients’ average follow-up time was 12.5 months and the outcomes were all surprisingly excellent. No revascularization of aneurysm was found. Conclusions: Electrocoagulation with guidewire manipulation is a suitable method to treat RTIA. While large-scale studies with long-term follow-up are required to validate these promising results.

The Mean

AimThis study evaluated the prognosis and survival predictors for bladder urachal carcinoma (UC), based on large scale multicenter cohort with long term follow-up database.MethodsA total 203 patients with bladder UC treated at 19 hospitals were enrolled. Clinical parameters on carcinoma presentation, diagnosis, and therapeutic methods were reviewed for the primary cancer and for all subsequent recurrences. The stage of UC was stratified by Mayo and Sheldon pathological staging system. Oncological outcomes and the possible clinicopathological parameters associated with survival outcomes were investigated.ResultsThe mean age of the patients was 54.2 years. Among the total of 203 patients, stages I, II, III, and IV (Mayo stage) were 48 (23.8%), 108 (53.5%), 23 (11.4%), and 23 (11.4%), respectively. Gross hematuria and bladder irritation symptoms were the two most common initial symptoms. The mean follow-up period was 65 months, and 5-year overall survival rates (OS), cancer-specific survival rates (CSS), and recurrence-free survival rates (RFS) were 88.3, 83.1, and 63.9%, respectively. For the patients with Mayo stage ≥III, OS, CSS, and RFS were significantly decreased to 38.0, 35.2, and 28.4%, respectively. The higher pathological stage (Mayo stage ≥III, Sheldon stage ≥IIIc), positive surgical margin (PSM), and positive lymphovascular invasion (PLM) were independent predictors of shorter OS, CSS, and RFS.ConclusionThe pathological stage, PSM, and PLM were significantly associated with the survival of UC patients, emphasizing an importance of the complete surgical resection of tumor lesion.

Af Recurrence

Abstract Aim The impact of sex differences on the clinical outcomes of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) is controversial. We investigated the sex differences regarding the efficacy and clinical outcomes of RFCA of AF. Methods and results We conducted a large-scale, prospective, multicentre, observational study (Kansai Plus Atrial Fibrillation Registry). We enrolled 5010 consecutive patients who underwent an initial RFCA of AF at 26 centres (64 ± 10 years; non-paroxysmal AF, 35.7%). The median follow-up duration was 2.9 years. Female patients (n = 1369, 27.3%) were older (female vs. male, 68 ± 9 vs. 63 ± 11 years, P < 0.0001) with a lower prevalence of non-paroxysmal AF (27.1% vs. 38.9%, P < 0.0001). Fewer females experienced time-dependent pulmonary vein (PV) reconnections and more females received a non-PV foci ablation than males in the index RFCA. The 3-year cumulative incidence of AF recurrences in the multivariate analysis after single procedures was significantly higher in females than males (43.3% vs. 39.0%, log rank P = 0.0046). Females remained an independent predictor of AF recurrence (hazard ratio 1.24; 95% confidence interval 1.12–1.38, P < 0.0001). The AF recurrence rates after multiple procedures were also higher in females, but fewer females experienced PV reconnections during second sessions. More females experienced de novo pacemaker implantations during the long-term follow-up. Females were associated with a higher risk of heart failure hospitalizations and major bleeding after RFCA in the multivariate analysis. Conclusions Females experienced more frequent AF recurrences probably due to non-PV arrhythmogenicity and de novo pacemaker implantations than males during the long-term follow-up after RFCA of AF.

Combination Approach

Introduction: Keloids are benign dermal tumors that generally form by local fibroblast proliferation and excessive collagen production following skin trauma. Several methods have been described for the treatment of keloid, often with suboptimal results and recurrences. Objective: To update literature that provides information regarding upcoming therapeutic modalities for the treatment of keloids, including lasers, radiofrequency (RF), photodynamic therapy (PDT), and ultraviolet A1 (UVA1) irradiation. Materials and Methods : A systematic review of the literature was performed for the original articles related to the treatment of keloids. The search terms ‘keloids’ and ‘lasers’ or ‘radiofrequency’ or ‘PDT’ or ‘UVA1’ was entered into a search of the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed Database. Result: The search returned a total of 188 sources, of which, 26 articles met our inclusion criteria. Conclusion: Combination approach is superior than solo therapy in the treatment of keloid. However, it is highly desirable that new emerging therapies undergo large-scale studies with long-term follow-up before being recommended conclusively as alternative therapies for the treatment of keloid. Moreover, lack of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) needs to be taken into consideration urgently.
