Does nonresectional single-suture leaflet remodeling for degenerative mitral regurgitation facilitate minimally invasive mitral valve repair?
An effective, highly efficient, and thus far durable single-suture mitral leaflet-remodeling technique facilitates minimally invasive repair of degenerative MR.
In the clinical setting of suspected AIP with the continued need for differentiation from pancreatic cancer due to atypical imaging for AIP, "a 2-week steroid trial and subsequent assessment of its response" may be helpful in confirming the diagnosis of AIP without negative consequences for resectable pancreatic cancer. However, a steroid trial should be performed carefully only by specialists in pancreatology.
