Our data report an association between acute stenting and successful reperfusion rates in stroke patients with tandem lesion treated with MT. Further studies are warranted to determine the intracranial bleeding risk after MT and stenting according to the antiplatelet therapy.

Objective The objective of this study was to identify radiological and clinical factors associated with early mortality in malignant superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS). Materials and Methods Chest computed tomography studies of 127 patients with malignancy-associated SVCS were retrospectively reviewed. Involvement of SVC and tributaries, pleural and pericardial effusions, pulmonary artery involvement, and ancillary findings were documented. Univariate and multivariate models determined associations between radiological and clinical variables, and 30-day mortality. Results Thirty-day mortality rate was 16.5% (n = 21). Factors associated with 30-day mortality on univariate analysis included age, cancer stage, SVCS clinical severity, left jugular vein obstruction, number of involved veins, pulmonary arteries involvement, and presence of pleural effusions. Age, SVCS clinical severity, number of veins involved, and pleural effusions were positively associated with 30-day mortality on multivariate analysis. Conclusions Selected clinical and radiological variables are associated with early death in malignant SVCS. These factors may identify a subgroup of patients who may benefit from treatment escalation.

Introduction: Tubular adenomas are rare benign epithelial neoplasms of the breast resembling fibroadenomas on both imaging and pathology. We aimed at characterizing and differentiating these lesions on contrast enhanced mammography and MRI.Material and methods: Out of all percutaneous breast biopsies performed at the Rabin medical center between the years 2010-2019, five cases which also had contrast-based imaging including contrast enhanced mammography and MRI were retrieved. Morphology and enhancement patterns of the lesions were analyzed by two dedicated breast radiologists.Results: The contrast imaging characteristics of all lesions were enhancing masses measuring 4-17 mm. The shape of the lesions was oval, borders well circumscribed, on both CEM and MRI. CEM revealed marked homogenous enhancement. MRI enhancement patterns of the small tumors showed homogenous enhancement, whereas the larger mass showed a more heterogeneous enhancement. Kinetic curves on MRI were of rapid marked enhancement.Conclusion: Tubular adenomas diverge pathologically from known enhancement patterns of fibroadenomas.
