Emergency stent grafting of type B aortic dissection: technical considerations.

Type B aortic dissection is an uncommon yet potentially catastrophic clinical event that mandates prompt recognition and expeditious treatment. Patient survival depends on early and accurate diagnosis and prompt medical or surgical treatment. Unfortunately, when type B aortic dissection is associated with end-organ ischemia, medical treatment may not prove beneficial, with patients addressed to surgery;…

Advances in neuroimaging of the visual pathways and their use in glaucoma.

Recently developed neuroimaging techniques such as diffusion tensor (DT) free webcams xl magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, functional MR imaging (fMRI), and MR spectroscopy can be used to evaluate the microstructural integrity of white-matter fibers and the functional activity of gray matter. They have been widely employed to investigate various diseases of the central nervous system,…

Emergency stent grafting after unsuccessful surgical repair of a mycotic common femoral artery pseudoaneurysm in a drug abuser.

Mycotic false aneurysm caused by local arterial injury from attempted intravenous injections in drug addicts remains a challenging clinical problem. The continued increase in drug abuse has resulted in an increased incidence of this problem, particularly in high-volume urban centres. In the drug-abusing population, mycotic arterial pseudoaneurysms most often occur because of missed venous injection…

Evaluation of a dedicated balloon catheter for infrapopliteal difficult calcified lesions in diabetic patients with critical limb ischemia.

The purpose of this study was to assess the technical performance and immediate procedural outcome of a new balloon catheter in the treatment of calcified lesions in infrapopliteal arterial disease. Sixty-one patients (81 vessels) with infrapopliteal arterial disease were evaluated. Seventy-four of the 81 treated vessels had total occlusions. The ReeKross 18 peripheral transluminal angioplasty…
