Abstract Background and Aims Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) have demonstrated favourable outcomes following endovascular therapy for femoropopliteal artery (FPA) disease. However, uncertainty remains whether the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) can improve DCBs. Methods This prospective, multicentre, randomized trial, conducted at seven centres in South Korea, compared IVUS-guided vs. angiography-guided angioplasty treating FPA disease with Patients were assigned to receive (n = 119) or...
We sought to investigate the influence of target vessel on prognostic relevance fractional flow reserve (FFR) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).A total 835 patients with available FFR second-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation were included in this study. The primary outcome was target-vessel failure (TVF), including cardiac death, vessel-related myocardial infarction, and clinically driven revascularisation. left anterior descending artery (LAD) 603 (72.2%) non-LAD...
Clinical practice guidelines have been slowly and inconsistently applied in clinical practice, certain evidence-based, guideline-driven therapies for heart failure (HF) significantly underused. The purpose of this study was to survey guideline compliance its effect on outcomes the treatment systolic HF Korea.The SUrvey Guideline Adherence Treatment Systolic Heart Failure Real World (SUGAR) trial a multi-center, retrospective, observational subjects with (ejection fraction <45%) admitted 23...
The popliteal artery is generally regarded as a "no-stent zone." Limited data are available on the outcomes of drug-coated balloons (DCBs) for disease. This study aimed to evaluate 12-month clinical among patients who received DCB treatment atherosclerotic prospective, multicenter registry enrolled 100 from 7 Korean endovascular centers underwent therapy using IN.PACT (Medtronic) symptomatic primary endpoint was patency and secondary clinically driven target lesion revascularization...
This randomized clinical trial was conducted to assess the safety and effectiveness of ErhBMP-2 in alveolar bone regeneration as well preservation β-TCP graft material that contains ErhBMP-2.This study involved 72 patients at 3 centers. The patients, who were divided into 2 groups: experiment group had coated TCP/HA control alone transplanted immediately after tooth extraction. CT taken before months transplantation healing status compared between two groups. efficacy endpoints used measure...
Vascular catheters are associated with complications such as infection, thrombosis and stenosis. The embolization of a venous catheter fragment is rare complication. A 39-year-old woman underwent placement totally implantable access device for chemotherapy to treat recurrent liposarcoma the left thigh. "pinch-off sign" was noted on routine chest X-ray but that ignored. Three-months after implantation intravenous device, indwelling central fractured embolized pulmonary trunk. in trunk...
Central venous stenosis or occlusion occurs in 11-50% of hemodialysis patients with prior subclavian vein cannulation and ipsilateral fistula shunt. Most are asymptomatic but some require treatment to reduce the risk thrombosis improve inadequate pressure. In these cases, endovascular intervention, including ballooning stenting, is a feasible strategy for selected patents. We report an unusual case 40-year-old man on that underwent stenting treat right experienced stent migration ventricle,...

Many studies have examined the relationship between cognition, and cingulum uncinate fasciculus (UF). In this study, diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) was used to investigate correlation fractional-anisotropy (FA) values number of fibers in UF patients with without cognitive impairment. The function, also investigated. Thirty (14 males, age = 70.68 ± 7.99 years) were divided into a control group (n 14) mild-cognitive-impairment (MCI) 16). Seoul Neuropsychological Screening Battery (SNSB)...
Right hemisphere brain damage often results in visual-spatial deficits. Because various microstructural changes of the superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) after a stroke right affect visual perception, including neglect, present study investigates relationship between both change and lateralization SLF using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) patients with lesions hemisphere. Eight strokes (five intracranial hemorrhage, three infarction; mean age 52.5 years) 16 mean-age-matched healthy...
This paper reports a mechanism for corticospinal tract injury in patient with hemiplegia following traumatic brain (TBI) based on diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) finding. A 73-year-old male TBI resulting from fall, without medical history, was diagnosed as having left convexity epidural hematoma (EDH). He underwent craniotomy and suffered motor weakness the right side of body. Two weeks after onset, he transferred to rehabilitation department an alerted level consciousness. Four his...
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP) is characterized by ventricular chamber enlargement and systolic dysfunction which may cause heart failure. Patients with DCMP have overactivation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone systems, can also adversely affect myocardial metabolism in The impairment contribute to progression left remodeling contractile Although angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) been used treat patients DCMP, there has no direct comparison efficacy these agents. objective this...
Pulmonary embolism is a common clinical problem in patients with immobilization, cancer, indwelling central venous catheter and surgery. However, although rare, it may occur inherited thrombophilia. Protein S deficiency known to increase the risk of thrombosis pulmonary embolism. There are many reports protein deficiency, but there few arterial thrombosis, especially recurrent acute Here, we report case associated type II deficiency.
