Extrahepatic portal vein occlusion (EHPVO) from thrombosis is a rare condition associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study to investigate the efficacy transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) for treatment chronic EHPVO, cavernomatosis, mesenteric venous in adults without cirrhosis who are refractory standard-of-care therapy.Thirty-nine patients EHPVO received TIPS. Laboratory parameters follow-up were assessed at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 months, every...
Objectives: Osteocutaneous free flap reconstruction can be complicated by hardware failure. The present study investigates the frequency and predictors of failure in head neck osteocutaneous reconstruction. Methods: Patients who underwent between years 2014 2022 were identified at our institution. Hardware was defined as infection, screw plate loosening, exposed hardware, migration, deformation, or fracture. Results: We 47 patients met inclusion criteria for this study. Common indications...
Abstract High‐grade portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is often considered to be a technically challenging scenario for liver transplantation (LT) and in some centers relative contraindication. This study compares patients with chronic obliterative PVT who underwent recanalization–transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (PVR‐TIPS) subsequent LT those partial nonocclusive without an intervention. institutional review board‐approved analyzed 49 cirrhosis from 2000 2020 at our institution....
Abstract Objective To characterize neighborhood‐level area deprivation's association with oropharyngeal carcinoma clinicodemographics, tumor staging, recurrence, and overall survival. Study Design Retrospective study. Setting Single institution academic medical center. Methods Patients diagnosed squamous cell (OPSCC) between 2007 2022 at our were included in this The Area Deprivation Index (ADI) was used to quantify disadvantage based on patients’ primary residence the time of their...
Although valve-sparing repair remains ideal for patients with tetralogy of Fallot, the durability and which may have been better served a transannular patch remain unclear.Retrospective review was performed Fallot operations at our institution from January 2008 to December 2018. Standard demographic data were collected, including echocardiographic parameters, operative details, clinical outcomes. Statistical analysis comparing groups.Sixty-seven underwent median age 4.5 (3.2-6.0) months...
Abstract Objective To quantify the price that private payers pay hospitals for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treatments identify hospital‐level factors associated with variation. Study Design Cross‐sectional study. Setting Price transparency files. Methods Files from top 50 in otolaryngology according to US News World Report were analyzed between December 2021 June 2022. This study following Food Drug Administration‐approved HNSCC therapies: pembrolizumab, nivolumab,...
Background The present study aims to quantify the opportunity cost of training residents and fellows for head neck surgery. Methods A 2005–2015 review ablative surgical procedures was performed using National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP). Work relative value units (wRVU) generated per hour were compared among by attendings alone, with residents, fellows. Results Among 34,078 procedures, rate wRVU generation greatest alone (10.3), followed (8.9) (7.0, p < 0.001). Resident...
Carcinosarcoma of the salivary gland is a rare malignant biphasic tumor. The present study investigates epidemiology and clinical behavior carcinosarcoma major glands using National Cancer Database (NCDB).Historical cohort study.NCDB.All tumors were selected between 2004 2018. Patient demographics, tumor characteristics, treatments, survival analyzed. Cox regression analysis was performed in surgically treated patients.We identified 154 patients NCDB with gland. Median age at diagnosis 66...
Background Surgical site drainage is important to prevent hematoma, seroma, and abscess formation. However, the placement of drain also predispose patients several postoperative complications. The aim this study clarify risk-benefit profile surgical placement. Methods American College Surgeons National Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) Procedure-Targeted Databases were used identify who underwent hepatectomy, pancreatectomy, nephrectomy, cystectomy, prostatectomy. Patients each...
Distal radius reconstruction after giant cell tumor (GCT) resection is typically performed with free fibular flaps when a vascularized bone needed. However, are contraindicated in patients peroneal artery variants. We present 2 GCTs of the and bilateral peronea arteria magna who underwent wrist fusion using an allograft medial femoral condyle periosteal flaps. Both had excellent outcomes minimal postoperative morbidity.Allograft effective option for reconstructing distal defects GCT...
Introduction: While valve-sparing repair is ideal for Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), it’s durability and which patients may benefit from a transannular patch remains unclear. To this end, we reviewed our experience with TOF repair. Methods: Retrospective review was performed all primary operations at institution 1/2008 to 12/2018. Standard demographic, operative, echo data were collected, along clinical outcomes. Transannular groups then compared. Results: Sixty-eight underwent mean age 4.1±2.2...
Health disparities have a major impact in the quality of life and level clinical care received minority populations United States. Underrepresented patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) may be at risk for worse outcomes. Furthermore, advances biomedical research provided extensive knowledge on genetic role pathogenesis PAH but whether these also minorities is incompletely understood. create an enormous barrier health delivery. Understanding contributors to disparity represent...
