    Abstract Purpose: Prospective evaluation of the prevalence of incomplete distal renal tubular acidosis (idRTA) in idiopathic calcium stone formers (ICSF) diagnosed by half-dose ammonium chloride loading (NH
    Methods: Evaluation of 386 consecutive idiopathic calcium stone formers (ICSF) (280 males, 106 females) for idRTA. If screening fasting urine pH was > 5.80, 1-day NH
    Results: Sixty-four idiopathic calcium stone formers exhibited idRTA, one complete dRTA. Prevalence was higher in women (25.4%) than in men (13.6%). Thus, for more equilibrated comparisons, we formed pairs of 62 idiopathic calcium stone formers (ICSF) with and 62 without idRTA, matched for gender, age, BMI and serum creatinine. Idiopathic calcium stone formers with idRTA more often had hypercalciuria (p < 0.025) and urine citrate < 2 mmol/d (p < 0.05), formed calcium phosphate stones more frequently, exhibited higher numbers of stones/year (1.4 ± 1.5 vs. 0.9 ± 0.8, p = 0.034) and 2.5 times more intrarenal calcifications (4.6 ± 5.9 vs. 1.8 ± 3.6, p = 0.002). All idiopathic calcium stone formers with idRTA were recommended chronic alkali therapy. After 4-15 years of follow-up, stone events /years follow-up (stone passage or urologic intervention) were higher in patients non-adherent to alkali therapy (0.61 ± 0.92) than in patients adherent to treatment (0.11 ± 0.21, p = 0.006).
    Conclusion: Incomplete distal renal tubular acidosis is 1.8-fold more prevalent among female idiopathic calcium stone formers, predicts more stone recurrences, predisposes to calcium phosphate stones and is associated with 2.5 times more intrarenal calcifications vs. non-idRTA patients. Chronic alkali treatment reduces clinical stone recurrences by 5.5 times.

    Abstract Among 208 kidney stone patients referred within 2 years, 75 patients (66 men, nine women) with truly idiopathic calcium oxalate stones (ICSF) were recruited. Dietary advice (DA) aimed at (1) urine dilution, (2) reduced crystallization promotion (lowering oxalate), and (3) increased crystallization inhibition (increasing citrate). We recommended higher intakes of fluid and calcium with meals/snacks (reducing intestinal oxalate absorption) as well as increased alkali and reduced meat protein (acid) for increasing urinary citrate. The intended effects of DA were elevations in urine volume, calcium (U-Ca) and citrate (U-Cit) as well as reductions in oxalate (U-Ox) and uric acid (U-UA). We retrospectively calculated an adherence score (AS), awarding + 1 point for parameters altered in the intended direction and - 1 point for opposite changes. Calcium oxalate supersaturation (CaOx-SS) was calculated using Tiselius' AP(CaOx) index EQ. DA induced changes (all p < 0.0001) in urine volume (2057 ± 79 vs. 2573 ± 71 ml/day) and U-Ca (5.49 ± 0.24 vs. 7.98 ± 0.38 mmol/day) as well as in U-Ox (0.34 ± 0.01 vs. 0.26 ± 0.01 mmol/day) and U-UA (3.48 ± 0.12 vs. 3.13 ± 0.10 mmol/day). U-Cit only tendentially increased (3.07 ± 0.17 vs. 3.36 ± 0.23 mmol/day, p = 0.06). DA induced a 21.5% drop in AP(CaOx) index, from 0.93 ± 0.05 to 0.73 ± 0.05 (p = 0.0005). Decreases in CaOx-SS correlated with AS (R = 0.448, p < 0.0005), and highest AS (+ 5) always indicated lowering of CaOx-SS. Thus, simple DA can reduce CaOx-SS which may be monitored by AS.

    Title translation Diagnostic and management of acute aortic syndrome.
    Abstract Acute aortic syndrome includes a group of serious aortic pathologies, with a mortality rate of up to 90% in the first 40 days after the onset of symptoms. Depending on the location of the lesion, the treatment will be medical or surgical which has been shown to improve the prognosis of these patients both in the short- and long-term. Timey diagnosis is essential to increase survival and decrease the rate of related complications; however, due to the low incidence and sometimes non-specific clinical picture, the diagnosis can be delayed or missed, leading to catastrophic consequences for the patients. This article will focus on the diagnostic approach of type A acute aortic syndrome, in addition to offering a brief review regarding the medical and surgical treatment of these pathologies.

    Abstract We report the case of a 78-year-old female patient who had a PASCAL device implanted for severe degenerative mitral regurgitation. Intraprocedural echocardiography revealed persistent severe mitral regurgitation due to device dislocation. Implanting another device was not possible. After 8 days, the device was explanted, and the valve was replaced with a biological prosthesis. The PASCAL device and resected mitral valve leaflets were sent for histopathological workup.

    Abstract Aortic wrapping is a controversial repair in patients presenting with acute type A aortic dissection or intramural haematoma, but this method may be a potential alternative to medical treatment or conventional repair in patients aged >80 years and in those presenting with prohibitive co-morbidities such as stroke, circulatory collapse, full oral anticoagulation with the last generation drugs. We report on 5 high-risk and/or patients over 80 years who received external aortic wrapping with or without cardiopulmonary bypass during the last 18 months. All survived the procedure and could be extubated early postoperatively. No patient remained on the intensive care longer than 2 days and all were discharged without additional complications. Postoperative radiological control was acceptable and no patient had any new aortic event up to 18 months postoperatively.

    Abstract Objective: While aneurysm of the aortic root, interrupted aortic arch, and aortic coarctation are the most frequent aortic diseases in adolescents and younger adults, there are a number of rare pathologies of the thoracic aorta that need individualized treatment.
    Patients: We present a small case series of unusual aortic pathologies in patients presenting with a broad spectrum of symptoms: tiredness, dysphagia, dyspnea, arterial hypertension, renal failure, and claudication. (1). Segmental agenesia of the descending aorta. (2). Balanced double aortic arch with complete vascular ring. (3). Right descending aortic arch, left lusorian artery with Kommerell diverticulum. (4). Large patent ductus (2.5 cm) and ventricular septal defect. (5). Aneurysm of the aortic arch in the presence of tuberous sclerosis. (6). Pseudo-aneurysm of the proximal descending aorta following coarctation patch plasty. (7). Supravalvular aortic stenosis combined with severe aortic valve stenosis. (8). Pseudo-aneurysm following ascendens-to-descendens bypass because of recurrent coarctation. (9). Takayasu arteriitis with severe stenosis in the thoraco-abdominal aorta.
    Results: The following procedures were performed, using individualized cardiopulmonary bypass, canulation and cerebral protection strategies. (1). Ascending to supraceliac extra-anatomic bypass. (2). Division of the ductus ligament and of the anterior aortic arch distally to the left subclavian artery. (3). Excision of the Kommerell diverticulum and translocation of the left subclavian artery. (4). Patch closure of the aorto-pulmonary window (patent ductus) and closure of the ventricular septal defect. (5). Complete aortic arch replacement combined with debranching of the supra-aortic vessels. (6). Graft interposition of the proximal descending aorta. (7). Enlargement of the ascending aorta and aortic valve replacement. (8). Exclusion of the pseudo-aneurysm, end-to-side graft interposition. (9). Ascending aorta to infrarenal aorta or ascending to bi-iliac artery bypass (planned). All patients were operated on without operative mortality. One patient died in-hospital from pulmonary complications one week after surgery. One patient is still awaiting surgery. All other patients recovered very well from the operation and did not show any residual symptoms.
    Conclusion: Rare pathologies of the thoracic aorta in younger patients may cause a broad spectrum of unusual symptoms; in some of them, diagnosis is delayed. Cross-sectional imaging is mandatory for optimal operative planning Surgical treatment can be performed with very satisfying results. The prognosis of these patients is usually favorable following surgery.
