Abstract
BACKGROUND AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy (ART) system has been widely used as a catheter-directed treatment (CDT) method in acute pulmonary embolism (PE), however, there has been a controversy regarding the safety of its use. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we evaluated the efficacy and safety outcomes of ART in patients with PE. METHODS Our meta-analysis have been based on search in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library for studies published up to August 2022. The primary outcomes were overall pooled rates of major bleeding (MB) and minor bleeding (mB), worsening renal function (WRF), bradycardia/conduction disturbance (BCD), and PE-related and all-cause mortality in patients who underwent ART. RESULTS Among the 233 studies documented at initial search, 24 studies were eligible for meta-analysis, and a total of 427 PE patients who underwent ART were evaluated. Overall pooled rates of MB and mB were 9.6% (95% CI 5.9%-15.2%) and 9.2% (95% CI 6.1%-13.6%), transient BCD and WRF were 18.2% (95% CI 12.4%-26%) and 15% (95% CI 10%-21.8%), and PE-related death and all-cause death were 12.7% (95% CI 9.1%-17.3%) and 15% (95% CI 11%-20%), respectively. However, significant heterogeneity and some evidence of funnel plot asymmetry and publication bias were noted for MB, BCD and WRF, but not for PE-related death and all-cause death. CONCLUSION Overall pooled rates of bleeding events, BCD and WRF episodes, PE-related death and all-cause death may be considered as encouraging results for efficacy and safety issues of ART utilization in specific scenarios of acute PE, and a reappraisal for black-box warning on ART seems to be necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the predictive value of electrocardiographic (ECG) findings for pulmonary hemodynamics assessed by right heart catheterization (RHC). METHODS Our study population comprised 562 retrospectively evaluated patients who underwent RHC between 2006 and 2022. Correlations between ECG measures and pulmonary arterial systolic and mean pressures (PASP and PAMP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) were investigated. Moreover, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis assessed the predictive value of ECG for pulmonary hypertension (PH) and precapillary PH. RESULTS The P-wave amplitude (Pwa) and R/S ratio (r) in V1 and V2, Ra in augmented voltage right (aVR), right or indeterminate axis, but not P wave duration (Pwd) or right bundle branch block (RBBB) significantly correlated with PASP, PAMP, and PVR (P <.001 for all). The partial R2 analysis revealed that amplitude of R wave (Ra) in aVR, R/Sr in V1 and V2, QRS axis, and Pwa added to the base model provided significant contributions to variance for PASP, PAMP, and PVR, respectively. The Pwa > 0.16 mV, Ra in aVR > 0.05 mV, QRS axis > 100° and R/Sr in V1 > 0.9 showed the highest area under curve (AUC) values for PAMP > 20 mm Hg. Using the same cutoff value, Ra in aVR, Pwa, QRS axis, and R/Sr in V1 showed highest predictions for PVR > 2 Wood Units (WU). CONCLUSION In this study, Pwa, Ra in aVR, right or indeterminate axis deviations, and R/Sr in V1 and V2 showed statistically significant correlations with pulmonary hemodynamics, and Ra in aVR, R/Sr in V2 and V1, QRS axis, and Pwa contributed to variance for PASP, PAMP, and PVR, respectively. Moreover, Pwa, Ra in aVR, QRS axis, and R/Sr in V1 seem to provide relevant predictions for PH and precapillary PH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pulmonary artery (PA) enlargement is a common finding in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) and may be associated with extrinsic compression of the left main coronary artery (LMCA-Co) and/or compression of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve resulting in hoarseness named as Ortner syndrome (OS). In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic impact of OS in predicting the PA aneurysm and significant LMCA-Co in patients with PH. METHODS Our study population comprised retrospectively evaluated 865 with PH confirmed with the right heart catheterization between 2006 and 2022. Patients underwent coronary angiography due to several indications, including the presence of a PA aneurysm on echocardiography, angina symptoms, or the incidental discovery of LMCA-Co on multidetector computed tomography. The LMCA-Co is defined as diameter stenosis ³ 50% in reference distal LMCA segment on two consecutive angiographic planes. RESULTS The LMCA-Co and hoarseness were documented in 3.8% and 4.3% of patients with PH, respectively. Increasing PA diameter was significantly associated with worse clinical, hemodynamic, laboratory, and echocardiographic parameters. The receiver operating curves revealed that the PA diameter >41 mm was cutoff for hoarseness (AUC: 0.834; sensitivity 69%, specificity 84%, and negative predictive value 98%), and PA diameter >35 mm was cutoff for LMCA-Co >50% (AUC: 0.794; sensitivity 89%, specificity 58 %, and negative predictive value 99%). An odds ratio of hoarseness for LMCA-Co was 83.3 (95% confidence interval; 36.5-190, P < 0.001) with 3.2% sensitivity, 98.7% specificity, and 59% positive and 98% negative predictive values. CONCLUSION In this study, a close relationship was found between the presence of hoarseness and the probability of extrinsic LMCA-Co by enlarged PA in patients with severe PH. Therefore, the risk of LMCA-Co should be taken into account in patients with PH suffering from hoarseness.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a profoundly destructive condition marked by the gradual narrowing and restructuring of small pulmonary arteries, leading to a rise in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), causing right-sided heart failure and, ultimately, mortality. During more advanced stages of this disease, patients may present with rare manifestations of pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) which are exertional chest pain, and hoarseness. The left main coronary artery compression (LMCA-Co) has been an increasingly recognized and possibly life-threatening entity in patients with severe PAH. The lack of well-established decision-making strategies for the management of both PAA and LMCA-Co has been remained as an unsolved issue in this setting. In this report, we present a case of percutaneous intervention of LMCA-Co with the guidance of intracoronary imaging in a patient with patent ductus arteriosus-Eisenmenger syndrome. Percutaneous intervention with intravascular guidance appears to be a safe and effective option for relieving symptoms and achieving positive clinical outcomes in patients with LMCA-Co.
