Imaging tackles cardiac 'octopus pot' syndrome
SAN FRANCISCO - Until recently, takotsubo cardiomyopathy has been a specifically Japanese syndrome. But cases of this transient left ventricular apical ballooning are beginning to pop up in the U.S. Three presentations at the American College of Physicians (ACP) meeting focused on how imaging is being used to take a closer look at this condition, named after the Japanese fishing pot designed to catch octopus.

Internal medicine doc finesses colon cancer screening guidelines
SAN FRANCISCO - As the U.S. population continues to age, the demand for colorectal cancer screening intensifies, and screening services must work furiously to keep up. So where should referring physicians look to send their patients, at what time of life, and for what kind of test? A presenter at the American College of Physicians (ACP) meeting discussed the available standard screening tools, as well as how to apply those tools to patients.

MR neurography proves itself in sciatica and beyond
Nearly 80% of people who suffer from severe sciatica are never properly diagnosed. The problem is that there is no gold standard for finding the underlying causes of sciatic pain. In fact, most patients have to undergo surgery before a definitive diagnosis can be made. MR neurography could change all that, according to a group of California-based spinal specialists.

Praise for 3D echo-guided beating-heart surgery in atrial defect closure
SAN FRANCISCO - Having shown the feasibility of real-time, 3D echocardiography-guided cardiac surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass, Boston-based surgeons tested the technique in atrial septum defect (ASD) closure. Dr. Yoshihiro Suematsu shared their results Wednesday at the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) meeting.

Lack of ischemic mitral regurgitation on postop echo doesn't preclude additional problems
SAN FRANCISCO - When coronary bypass surgery is performed, ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) must be addressed as this complication is associated with poor long-term survival. But the durability of valve repair for IMR is currently under fire, despite its popularity over replacement procedures. Unfortunately, good postoperative echocardiography results cannot guarantee that the patient will not experience IMR, according to surgeons from Canada.

CT, PET staging may negate need for mediastinoscopy in lung cancer
SAN FRANCISCO - Assessing lung cancer patients with CT and PET may identify some mediastinal lymph node metastases reliably enough to jettison mediastinoscopy, according to a presentation Monday at the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) meeting.

Ultrasound separates fracture from metastasis in the ribs
Bone scintigraphy of the chest cavity can easily reveal malignant disease to clinicians. However, those clinicians may also have to determine if a site of single rib uptake on bone scintigraphy is a matter of metastasis or simply a fracture. South Korean radiologists have found that ultrasound successfully makes that distinction.

Suture-mediated closure puts UAE patients back on their feet sooner
Suture-mediated closure devices (SMCDs) are used routinely in patients undergoing treatment for peripheral vascular disease or anticoagulation. However, SMCD use is controversial for women receiving uterine artery embolization (UAE) for symptomatic leiomyomata. A new study examines the safety and efficacy of these devices in the UAE population.
