Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The RTOG recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) for malignant glioma patients is a key prognostic factor correlated with survival for patients with a malignant glioma, which was established using data from RTOG 9006. While such data is useful when counseling patients on survival outcomes at the time of diagnosis, the utility of such data diminishes over time. Conditional survival (CS) is a way to provide 'real-time' estimates of how survival changes over time. The primary objective of this secondary analysis is to report conditional survival estimates for patients with malignant gliomas enrolled on RTOG 9006 stratified by RPA class. MATERIALS/METHODS RTOG 9006 was a phase III trial of patients diagnosed with malignant gliomas randomized to BCNU and hyper-fractionated radiation therapy (RT) vs. BCNU and conventionally fractionated RT that showed no significant differences in toxicities or oncologic outcomes. We performed a post-hoc analysis of RTOG 9006 using data obtained from the NCI NCTN Data Archive to evaluate conditional survival estimates for different RPA subgroups. Eligible patients included those with a known RPA class who were enrolled on RTOG 9006 (n = 632). Conditional survival estimates from the time of diagnosis and following 1-, 3-, and 5-y of survival were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional hazards modeling was performed to evaluate the prognostic significance of treatment arm, histology, extent of surgical resection, and RPA class following 1-, 3-, and 5-y of survival. RESULTS For RPA Group I (n = 68), OS at 1-y from diagnosis was 95.58%. At 1- (n = 65), 3- (49) and 5-y (42) of survivorship, the chances of surviving an additional 1-y were 84.62, 91.84, 98.62% respectively (See Table 1). RPA class continued to be significantly correlated with survival following 1- and 3-y of survival irrespective of treatment arm. Treatment arm was not significantly correlated with conditional survival at any time point following treatment completion, and there was no interaction between treatment arm and RPA subgroups. Histology was significant at all time points. CONCLUSION Conditional risk of death for patients treated for malignant gliomas in RPA Group I remains low at levels similar to those at initial diagnosis. Conditional risk continuously improves for RPA Groups IV-V as patients live longer. In most groups, the lowest survival odds were found in patients who have already survived 1 year.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Salvage radiation therapy (SRT) and androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) are routinely used in patients with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels after radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer (PCa). Although prostate cancer-specific survival (PCSS) following SRT is useful when counseling patients at the time of treatment, the utility of this data from time of diagnosis diminishes over time. Conditional survival (CS) can provide more relevant estimates, especially given long-term PCa survivorship. The primary aim of this study was to analyze CS estimates for recurrent PCa patients undergoing SRT ± ADT. The secondary objective was to determine if factors prognostic of PCSS at diagnosis remain relevant in survivorship. MATERIALS/METHODS We analyzed data from 760 post-RP patients enrolled in NRG/RTOG 9601 (1998-2003). Eligible patients included men who had undergone prior RP and had pT2/T3 disease without nodal involvement and detectable PSA levels of 0.2-4.0 ng/mL. Patients were randomly assigned to undergo SRT and receive either 24 mo of ADT or placebo. OS was calculated (Kaplan-Meier), cumulative incidence was used to estimate PCSS rates, and prognostic factors associated with PCSS were analyzed by multivariable Cox proportional hazards modeling (MVA). RESULTS Patients were followed for a median of 13 y. The 5- and 10-y PCSS estimates from diagnosis were 98.52% and 92.7%, respectively. At 1- (n = 755), 3- (n = 727), 5- (n = 680), and 8-y (n = 602) survivorship, chances of PCSS at an additional 5-y were 97.41%, 95.29%, 93.76%, and 91.04%, respectively. On MVA at diagnosis, omission of ADT (HR 2.156, P = 0.0003), increasing age (HR 1.833, P = 0.03), Gleason score (GS) 7 (HR 2.356, P = 0.0057), and GS 8-10 (HR 4.841, P < 0.0001) were associated with PCa-specific mortality. For those who achieved survivorship at 1-, 3-, 5-, and 8-y, all variables remained prognostic of PCa-specific mortality on MVA. CONCLUSION Conditional risk of death from PCa for patients treated with SRT increases over time. The initial risk of dying from PCa over a given period, however, is higher than if already having survived a portion of that period. ADT, younger age, and lower GS continue to confer a reduced risk of PCa-specific mortality for long-term survivors. This data can be used to inform survivorship care planning, giving patients more relevant prognostic information during continued surveillance after completion of treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Patients with localized prostate cancer (PCA) treated with RT alone have excellent outcomes, making quality of life and minimization of toxicities of great concern. The risk of developing toxicity may evolve with time from treatment which is of interest to patients seen in follow up. The primary objective of this study is to determine the conditional risk of grade 2+ GI or GU toxicity for patients treated with RT. A secondary objective is to determine risk factors associated with the development of late toxicities. MATERIALS/METHODS We performed a post-hoc analysis of RTOG 0126, which enrolled patients with intermediate risk PCa who were randomized to receive standard dose RT of 70.2 Gy in 39 fractions vs dose escalated dose RT (DE-RT) of 79.2 Gy in 44 fractions. Cumulative incidence was used to calculate risk of grade 2+ GU and grade 2+ GI toxicity at initial time points, as well as for patients who survived 2 years and 5 years without respective grade 2+ toxicity. Risk factors of age, race, urinary incontinence, baseline urinary frequency, acute GU toxicity, treatment arm, RT method (3DCRT vs IMRT), and OAR contouring protocol violation were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards modeling for late GU toxicity. Risk factors of age, race, RT method, acute GI toxicity, DE-RT, RT method, and OAR contouring protocol violation were analyzed for late GI toxicity. RESULTS One thousand four hundred ninety-nine patients with a median follow up of 8.4 years (range 0.02-13 years) were included for analysis. The conditional cumulative 5-year risk of late grade 2+ GI toxicity at enrollment, 2-, and 5-years of grade 2+GI toxicity free survivorship was 14.7%, 6.2%, and 1.8% respectively. The cumulative 5-year risk of late grade 2+ GU toxicity at enrollment, 2-, and 5-years of late grade 2+ GU toxicity free survivorship was 7.9%, 4.7%, and 2.7% respectively. Initially DE-RT (HR 1.401, 95% CI 1.099-1.787; p = 0.0066), acute GI toxicity (HR 1.962, 95% CI 1.271-2.616; P<0.0001), and black race (HR 0.630, 95% CI 0.4-0.993; p<0.0463) were predictive of late GI toxicity. After two years of 2+ GI toxicity free survivorship, only acute GI toxicity (HR 2.015, 95% CI 1.238-3.279, p<0.0048) remained predictive of late GI toxicity on MVA. DE-RT (HR 1.616, 95% CI 1.187-2.2, p<0.0023), IMRT (HR 0.559, 95% CI 0.389-0.804, p = 0.0017), and urinary frequency at baseline (HR 1.377, 95% CI 1-1.895 p<0.0498) were predictive of late GU toxicity at enrollment. CONCLUSION This data suggests that as patients proceed further from completion of EBRT, the conditional risk of late toxicity decreases. The majority of grade 2+ GI and GU toxicities occur in the first two years of treatment and patients who have not had a grade 2+ GU or GI toxicity within the first five years are likely to remain toxicity free. Factors such as presence of baseline urinary dysfunction, presence of acute toxicities, DE-RT, and radiation modality predict for late toxicity. These findings are of relevance for clinicians and patients in the post treatment setting.

Abstract
Using (1.0087±0.0044)×10^{10} J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring, the process Ξ^{0}n→Ξ^{-}p is studied, where the Ξ^{0} baryon is produced in the process J/ψ→Ξ^{0}Ξ[over ¯]^{0} and the neutron is a component of the ^{9}Be, ^{12}C, and ^{197}Au nuclei in the beam pipe. A clear signal is observed with a statistical significance of 7.1σ. The cross section of the reaction Ξ^{0}+^{9}Be→Ξ^{-}+p+^{8}Be is determined to be σ(Ξ^{0}+^{9}Be→Ξ^{-}+p+^{8}Be)=(22.1±5.3_{stat}±4.5_{sys}) mb at the Ξ^{0} momentum of 0.818 GeV/c, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. No significant H-dibaryon signal is observed in the Ξ^{-}p final state. This is the first study of hyperon-nucleon interactions in electron-positron collisions and opens up a new direction for such research.

Abstract
With the development of microfluidic technology, new materials and fabrication methods have been constantly invented in the field of microfluidics. Bonding is one of the key steps for the fabrication of enclosed-channel microfluidic chips, which have been extensively explored by researchers globally. The main purpose of bonding is to seal/enclose fabricated microchannels for subsequent fluid manipulations. Conventional bonding methods are usually irreversible, and the forced detachment of the substrate and cover plate may lead to structural damage to the chip. Some of the current microfluidic applications require reversible bonding to reuse the chip or retrieve the contents inside the chip. Therefore, it is essential to develop reversible bonding methods to meet the requirements of various applications. This review introduces the most recent developments in reversible bonding methods in microfluidics and their corresponding applications. Finally, the perspective and outlook of reversible bonding technology were discussed in this review.

Abstract
Using (10 087±44)×10^{6} J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector, the radiative hyperon decay Σ^{+}→pγ is studied at an electron-positron collider experiment for the first time. The absolute branching fraction is measured to be (0.996±0.021_{stat}±0.018_{syst})×10^{-3}, which is lower than its world average value by 4.2 standard deviations. Its decay asymmetry parameter is determined to be -0.652±0.056_{stat}±0.020_{syst}. The branching fraction and decay asymmetry parameter are the most precise to date, and the accuracies are improved by 78% and 34%, respectively.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the predictive efficacy of the two thrombosis risk assessment scores (Padua and IMPEDE scores) in venous thromboembolism (VTE) within 6 months in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) in China. Methods: This study reviewed the clinical data of 421 patients with NDMM hospitalized in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from April 2014 to February 2022. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and Youden index of the two scores were calculated to quantify the thrombus risk assessment of VTE by the Padua and IMPEDE scores. The receiver operating characteristics curves of the two evaluation scores were drawn. Results: The incidence of VTE was 14.73%. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and Youden index of the Padua score were 100%, 0%, 14.7%, and 0% and that of the IMPEDE score was 79%, 44%, 49.2%, and 23%, respectively. The areas under the curve of Padua and IMPEDE risk assessment scores were 0.591 and 0.722, respectively. Conclusion: IMPEDE score is suitable for predicting VTE within 6 months in patients with NDMM.

Abstract
We present the first measurements of the electric and magnetic form factors of the neutron in the timelike (positive q^{2}) region as function of four-momentum transfer. We explored the differential cross sections of the reaction e^{+}e^{-}→n[over ¯]n with data collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII accelerator, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 354.6 pb^{-1} in total at twelve center-of-mass energies between sqrt[s]=2.0-2.95 GeV. A relative uncertainty of 18% and 12% for the electric and magnetic form factors, respectively, is achieved at sqrt[s]=2.3935 GeV. Our results are comparable in accuracy to those from electron scattering in the comparable spacelike region of four-momentum transfer. The electromagnetic form factor ratio R_{em}≡|G_{E}|/|G_{M}| is within the uncertainties close to unity. We compare our result on |G_{E}| and |G_{M}| to recent model predictions, and the measurements in the spacelike region to test the analyticity of electromagnetic form factors.

Abstract
The Born cross sections of the process e^{+}e^{-}→D^{*0}D^{*-}π^{+} at center-of-mass energies from 4.189 to 4.951 GeV are measured for the first time. The data samples used correspond to an integrated luminosity of 17.9 fb^{-1} and were collected by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring. Three enhancements around 4.20, 4.47, and 4.67 GeV are visible. The resonances have masses of 4209.6±4.7±5.9 MeV/c^{2}, 4469.1±26.2±3.6 MeV/c^{2}, and 4675.3±29.5±3.5 MeV/c^{2} and widths of 81.6±17.8±9.0 MeV, 246.3±36.7±9.4 MeV, and 218.3±72.9±9.3 MeV, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The first and third resonances are consistent with the ψ(4230) and ψ(4660) states, respectively, while the second one is compatible with the ψ(4500) observed in the e^{+}e^{-}→K^{+}K^{-}J/ψ process. These three charmoniumlike ψ states are observed in the e^{+}e^{-}→D^{*0}D^{*-}π^{+} process for the first time.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the related factors of negative conversion time (NCT) of nucleic acid in children with COVID-19. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 225 children who were diagnosed with COVID-19 and admitted to Changxing Branch of Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from April 3rd to May 31st 2022 were enrolled in the study. The infection age, gender, viral load, basic disease, clinical symptoms and information of accompanying caregivers were retrospectively analyzed. According to age, the children were divided into<3 years of age group and 3-<18 years of age group. According to the viral nucleic acid test results, the children were divided into positive accompanying caregiver group and negative accompanying caregiver group. Comparisons between groups were performed using Mann-Whitney U test or Chi-square test. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors of NCT of nucleic acid in children with COVID-19. Results: Among the 225 patients (120 boys and 105 girls) of age 2.8 (1.3, 6.2) years, 119 children <3 years and 106 children 3-<18 years of age, 19 cases were diagnosed with moderate COVID-19, and the other 206 cases were diagnosed with mild COVID-19. There were 141 patients in the positive accompanying caregiver group and 84 patients in the negative accompanying caregiver group.Patients 3-<18 years of age had a shorter NCT (5 (3, 7) vs.7 (4, 9) d, Z=-4.17, P<0.001) compared with patients <3 years of age. Patients in the negative accompanying caregiver group had a shorter NCT (5 (3, 7) vs.6 (4, 9) d,Z=-2.89,P=0.004) compared with patients in the positive accompanying caregiver group. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that anorexia was associated with NCT of nucleic acid (OR=3.74,95%CI 1.69-8.31, P=0.001). Conclusion: Accompanying caregiver with positive nucleic acid test may prolong NCT of nucleic acid, and decreased appetite may be associated with prolonged NCT of nucleic acid in children with COVID-19.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the outcomes of different types of pulmonary atresia in neonates treated by ductus arteriosus stenting. Methods: This study was a retrospective cohort study. A total of 19 neonates who had pulmonary atresia treated by ductus arteriosus stenting in Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from April 2014 to June 2021 were included. They were divided into the intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS) group and the ventricular septal defect (PA-VSD) group. Ductus arteriosus stents were implanted by different approaches. These children were followed up regularly at the 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after the surgery and annually since then to evaluate the outcome. Independent sample t-test was used for the statistical analysis. Results: There were 12 children in PA-IVS group and 7 in PA-VSD group. All of them were full term in fants. The gestational age of the PA-IVS group and the PA-VSD group was (38.8±1.1) and (37.7±1.8) weeks, the birth weights were (3.2±0.4) and (3.4±1.1) kg, and the age at operation was (10±9) and (12±7) days, respectively, without significant difference (all P>0.05). Among the 12 children with PA-IVS, 9 had stents successfully implanted through the femoral artery and 3 through the femoral vein. Of the 7 children with PA-VSD, 2 had the stents successfully implanted via the femoral artery and 2 failed, and the remaining 3 had stents successfully implanted via the left carotid artery. There was no postoperative thromboembolism, arteriovenous fistula, pseudoaneurysm or other vascular complications. Five children with PA-VSD who had successful operations were followed up at 6 months of age. They all had the operation for pulmonary atresia, repair of the ventricular septal defect, removal of arterial duct stents, and ligation of the arterial duct. All children survived without any stent displacement or stenosis and biventricular circulation was achieved during the follow-up. Conclusions: Ductus arteriosous stenting can be the first-stage treatment for children with PA-IVS and PA-VSD. In addition to the traditional femoral vein and femoral artery approach, the carotid artery can be used as a route for stent placement.

Abstract
Despite the emergence of novel targeted treatments for atopic dermatitis (AD), there is a lack of guidelines on standardizing analysis of clinical trial data. To define and estimate meaningful treatment comparisons, several factors, including intercurrent events, must be taken into account. Intercurrent events are defined as events occurring after treatment initiation that affect either the interpretation or existence of the measurements associated with clinical questions of interest. Due to the relapsing, unpredictable nature of AD, intercurrent events frequently occur in AD trials, such as use of rescue therapy for intense itch and sleep deprivation. Despite the impact of intercurrent events in AD, they are often handled in an inconsistent manner across trials, which limits results interpretation. The estimand framework is increasingly used to estimate treatment effects while accounting for intercurrent events. This review explores how guidance from the International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) on the use of estimands can be applied to support AD clinical trial design and analysis. We propose that estimands are used in AD trials and defined early during trial design. The use of estimands can provide clinicians with interventional trial results that are more reflective of clinical practice, help facilitate comparisons across clinical trials, and are more informative to enable improved treatment selection for patients.

Abstract
Daptomycin (DP) is effective against multiple drug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens because of its distinct mechanism of action. An accepted mechanism includes Ca2+-triggered aggregation of the DP molecule to form oligomers. DP and its oligomers have so far defied structural analysis at a molecular level. We studied the ability of DP molecule to aggregate by itself in water, the effects of Ca2+ ions to promote the aggregation, and the connectivity of the DP molecules in the oligomers by the combined use of dynamic light scattering in water and atomic-resolution cinematographic imaging of DP molecules captured on a carbon nanotube on which the DP molecule is installed as a fishhook. We found that the DP molecule aggregates weakly into dimers, trimers, and tetramers in water, and strongly in the presence of calcium ions, and that the tetramer is the largest oligomer in homogeneous aqueous solution. The dimer remains as the major species, and we propose a face-to-face stacked structure based on dynamic imaging using millisecond and angstrom resolution transmission electron microscopy. The tetramer in its cyclic form is the largest oligomer observed, while the trimer forms in its linear form. The study has shown that the DP molecule has an intrinsic property of forming tetramers in water, which is enhanced by the presence of calcium ions. Such experimental structural information will serve as a platform for future drug design. The data also illustrate the utility of cinematographic recording for the study of self-organization processes.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this retrospective study was to demonstrate the safety and feasibility of three-port single-intercostal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (SIC-VATS) segmentectomy compared to uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (UVATS) segmentectomy. Methods We included 544 patients diagnosed with cT1N0M0 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent thoracoscopic segmentectomy between January 2020 and August 2021, including 147 and 397 patients who underwent three-port SIC-VATS and UVATS, respectively. After incorporating preoperative clinical variables, we compared surgical outcomes and perioperative indicators between the two groups by propensity score matching analysis. Results After 1:1 propensity score matching, each group comprised 143 patients with no significant differences in baseline demographics and characteristics. There was no significant difference in operative time (p = 0.469), blood loss (p = 0.501), number of dissected lymph nodes (p = 0.228), dwell time of the main chest drain (p = 0.065), hospital stay (p = 0.243), or major complication rate (p = 0.295) between the three-port SIC-VATS and UVATS groups. Conclusions The three-port SIC-VATS was as safe and feasible as UVATS for patients who are diagnosed with early-stage NSCLC.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the association between weight status and early changes in blood pressure, cardiac structure and function in children at 4 years of age. Methods: A cross-sectional study of the relationship between weight status and cardiovascular parameters was performed on the platform of "Shanghai Birth Cohort" in Shanghai Xinhua Hospital between 2017 and 2020. Height, weight, blood pressure and echocardiography were measured in 1 477 children at 4 years of age. According to body mass index (BMI), participants were classified into five groups: underweight, lean, normal weight, overweight and obese. Blood pressure, cardiac structure and function indexes were compared among different groups using one-way ANOVA. The associations between blood pressure, cardiac structure and function and weight status in children were analyzed by linear regression models. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze whether weight status was an independent risk factor for elevated blood pressure or left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in children. Results: A total of 1 477 children including 772 boys and 705 girls were included in this study. There were 115 overweight and obese boys (14.9%) and 68 overweight and obese girls (9.6%). The majority of children had normal weight (916 cases, 62.0%), followed by underweight (303 cases, 20.5%), overweight (130 cases, 8.8%), lean (75 cases, 5.1%), and obese (53 cases, 3.6%). With the increase of BMI, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, left ventricular mass index (LVMI), left ventricular posterior wall thickness in systole, left ventricular posterior wall thickness in diastole, left ventricular diameter in end-systole, left ventricular diameter in end-diastole, interventricular septum thickness in systole and left ventricular ejection fraction showed significantly positive trend, and the differences among the groups were significant (F=31.73, 6.59, 14.22, 4.96, 3.01, 31.50, 39.79, 5.91, 3.09, all P<0.05). Multiple linear regression showed that overweight and obese were all positively associated with systolic blood pressure (β=5.2, 95%CI 3.6-6.8), LVMI (β=1.9, 95%CI 0.8-3.1), left ventricular diameter in end-systole (β=1.3, 95%CI 0.9-1.8), and left ventricular diameter in end-diastole (β=1.6, 95%CI 1.0-2.2). In the Logistic regression model, compared with normal weight children, overweight (OR=2.37, 95%CI 1.37-4.41) and obese children (OR=10.90, 95%CI 4.47-26.60) both had significantly increased risk of elevated blood pressure. However, the risk of LVH did not significantly increased. Conclusions: Overweight and obesity in 4-year-old children are associated with increased blood pressure, increased left ventricle diameter and LVMI. Overweight and obesity are independent risk factors for elevated blood pressure in children at 4 years of age.

Abstract
Implantation is an essential issue in orthopedic surgery. Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), as a kind of novel materials, attract lots of attentions in biological field owing to their comprehensive excellent properties. Here, we show that a Zr61Ti2Cu25Al12 (at. %) BMG (Zr-based BMG) displays the best cytocompatibility, pronounced positive effects on cellular migration, and tube formation from in-vitro tests as compared to those of commercial-pure titanium and poly-ether-ether-ketone. The in-vivo micro-CT and histological evaluation demonstrate the Zr-based BMG can significantly promote a bone formation. Immunofluorescence tests and digital reconstructed radiographs manifest a stimulated effect on early blood vessel formation from the Zr-based BMG. Accordingly, the intimate connection and coupling effect between angiogenesis and osteogenesis must be effective during bone regeneration after implanting Zr-based BMG. Dynamic gait analysis in rats after implanting Zr-based BMG demonstrates a tendency to decrease the pain level during recovery, simultaneously, without abnormal ionic accumulation and inflammatory reactions. Considering suitable mechanical properties, we provide a realistic candidate of the Zr61Ti2Cu25Al12 BMG for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Percutaneous transluminal pulmonary angioplasty (PTPA) is a treatment modality for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, but whether it can be applied to patients with hypertensive pulmonary Takayasu's arteritis (PTA), another chronic obstructive pulmonary vascular disease, remains unclear.
Purpose
To investigate the potential efficacy and safety of PTPA for hypertensive PTA.
Methods
All consecutive patients with hypertensive PTA who completed PTPA in our center between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2019 were prospectively enrolled. Hemodynamics, exercise capacity and oxygen saturation were measured at baseline and at least 3 months after the last PTPA session. PTPA procedure related complications, restenosis and all-cause deaths during follow-up were recorded.
Results
A total of 50 patients were enrolled, with the median age of 41 (IQR, 30–49) years and female predominance (82.0%). After PTPA, significant improvements in hemodynamics including mean pulmonary artery pressure (from median 48 [39–60] to 37 [31–42] mm Hg, p<0.001) and pulmonary vascular resistance (from 9.6 [7.0–11.8] to 4.8 [3.6–6.4] Wood U, p<0.001) were achieved. Furthermore, PTPA also significantly improved the WHO functional class (p<0.001), six-minute walking distance (from 412 [313–470] to 492 [430–539] meters, p<0.001) and arterial oxygen saturation (from 91.3 [86.9–94.1] to 93.9 [91.8–95.3] %, p<0.001). No peri-procedural death occurred. The most common complication was pulmonary artery injury (27/150 PTPA sessions, 18.0%), which was always asymptomatic and without further clinical sequelae. Pulmonary angiography during follow-up revealed complete self-healing in 26 out of 27 (96.3%) vessels. Restenosis occurred in 5 out of 360 treated vessels (1.4%). Three patients died during follow-up, and the 1-year, 2-year and 3-year survival rates were 98.0%, 95.7% and 92.8%, respectively.
Conclusion
PTPA appears to be a promising therapeutic option for patients with hypertensive PTA.
