The risk and benefit of desensitization therapy (DST) in highly sensitized mechanical circulatory support (MCS) patients are not well known. We investigated three year post-transplant outcom...
Although molecular targets such as HER2, TP53 and PIK3CA have been widely studied in esophageal cancer, few of them were successfully applied for clinical treatment. Therefore, it is urgent ...
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has emerged as a minimally invasive approach to single parathyroid adenoma in primary hyperparathyroidism; however, there is limited evidence on its effectivene...
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a typical example of low renin hypertension, whereas renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a classic form of high renin hypertension. PA and RAS occurring simultaneous...
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is characterized by a short PR interval (delta-wave), long QRS complex, and the appearance of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Patients with Wolff-Park...
Pancreatitis is the most common adverse event following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Meanwhile, the national temporal trend of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) in child...
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is increasingly being used to treat younger, lower-risk patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). Patient-specific computer simulation may iden...
