Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) offers a safe alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA), but severe calcification is currently considered contraindication in stenting. This study aims describe the safety and effectiveness of TCAR with intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) patients traditionally prohibitive calcific disease.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) predicts mortality after abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. Few studies are adequately powered to stratify outcomes by CKD severity. This study assesses the effect of severity on survival AAA repair.Patients who underwent repair from 2006 2007 were retrospectively identified in Medicare database and stratified class as follows: normal (CKD 1 2), moderate 3), severe 4 5). Propensity matching (30:1) clinical factors procedure type was performed derive...
Ischemic preconditioning has been shown to improve survival of cutaneous flaps. The authors examined the effect remote ischemic (RIPC) on phosphorylation p38 MAP kinase and related results flap survival. Female Wistar rats had 8 × 12-cm abdominal adipocutaneous flaps raised medial branch superficial epigastric artery. Controls (Group 1) elevated pedicle clamped for 3 hr, then closed with a sheet plastic between wall. Group 2 animals RIPC by tourniquet contralateral hind limb before was...
1. IntroductionMost bullets enter the body and follow a straight trajectory toexit or lodge in soft tissues, but this is not always case. The‘‘wandering missile’’ has been well described with bulletsoccasionally displaying unusual trajectories including travellingalong arteries, veins, tissue planes to thecranium, heart, pulmonary artery, pericardium, distalextremites.
