Conversely, immunosuppression intensity and degree of reduction following COVID-19 diagnosis were not associated with either survival or acute allograft rejection. Our findings potentially support a strategy of individualization of immunosuppression targets based on patient-specific risk factors, rather than universal immunosuppression reduction for KTRs at risk from COVID-19.Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a sudden cardiac death syndrome characterized by a coved-type electrocardiogram (ECG). Different disorders, such as ischemia, can emulate a Brugada-pattern ECG (Brugada phenocopy). We report herein, the first case of surgical epicardial electrophysiological mapping in a successfully resuscitated patient with an anomalous aortic origin of the coronary artery (AAOCA) associated with a coved-type ECG. It was debatable whether the coved-type ECG and the abnormal arrhythmogenic substrate in the epicardial right ventricular outflow tract were derived from BrS or from repetitive ischemia due to AAOCA; however, the epicardial electrophysiological mapping helped in deciding the treatment strategy. Management of bile duct stones (BDSs) in patients with surgically altered anatomies (SAAs) remains challenging. An endoscopic ultrasound-guided antegrade (EUS-AG) procedure and double-balloon enteroscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (DB-ERC) have been used to remove BDSs from patients with SAAs. However, few comparative data have been reported. Therefore, we compared the efficacy and safety of the techniques. This was a single-center retrospective study. Patients with SAA who underwent the EUS-AG procedure or DB-ERC to remove intra- or extra-BDSs between November 2010 and March 2020 were included. The primary outcome was the technical success rate, defined as stent insertion or sto
