Background There is a paucity of randomized trials demonstrating superior efficacy drug-coated balloon angioplasty (DCBA) compared with conventional percutaneous transluminal (PTA) for below-the-knee arterial disease in patients critical limb ischemia. Purpose To compare DCBA versus PTA lesions participants critical ischemia through 12 months. Materials and Methods In this prospective, randomized, two-center, double-blind superiority study, rest pain or tissue loss atherosclerotic the...
Introduction: Sirolimus coated balloon (SCB) is a promising treatment option to prevent restenosis for peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD). This pilot first-in-human study of MagicTouch percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) SCB PAOD both femoropopliteal and below the knee arteries (BTK). Material Methods: Xtreme Touch-Neo [MagicTouch PTA] Coated Balloon (XTOSI) prospective, single-arm, open-label, single-center trial evaluating PTA symptomatic PAOD. Primary endpoint was...
Objectives Deep venous stenting with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance is gaining favour as the treatment modality of choice for symptomatic ilio-femoral occlusive disease. The aim was to determine short-term patency and relief gained using Bard Venovo™ Optimed Sinus Obliquus™ stents in endovascular non-thrombotic iliac vein lesions (NIVL) post-thrombotic obstruction (PTO) from two Asian tertiary vascular centres. Methods Sixty patients (males = 21/60 (35.0%); median age 67 years...
Acute limb ischemia is associated with significant mortality and amputation rate. Early restoration of flow can be obtained by various treatment methods that include catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT). These treatments have been shown to effective but complications. There lack data comparing these two treatments. We aim review our experience in the acute (ALI) compare CDT PMT.A total 94 patients [mean age 65 years, 67% male (n = 63)] presented ALI...
Abstract Empirical embolization of the gastroduodenal artery (GDA) is accepted as a safe and effective treatment option for endoscopy-refractory nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) in patients with high surgical risk. Nontarget recognized complication transarterial embolization, however, symptomatic pancreatic injury extremely rare. We report patient who developed acute ischemic pancreatitis immediately after GDA, which was confirmed intraoperatively. Interventionists well...
Summary: Background: Iliofemoral vein stenosis can cause debilitating chronic venous disease. Diagnostic tools include both computed tomography venography (CTV) and intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS). We aim to compare the diagnostic performance of CTV IVUS. Patients methods: performed a retrospective study patients with disease presenting iliac compression or post-thrombotic limb symptoms, excluding those acute deep thrombosis, high anaesthesia risk, who had contrast allergy. All received...
The aim of this study was to identify the ultrasound features which are associated with malignancy in subcentimetre thyroid nodules.This retrospective included 454 nodules <10 mm size 413 patients from 2012 2016, were subjected fine needle aspiration cytology. Each nodule classified according patterns 2015 American Thyroid Association guidelines and high suspicion (solid, hypo-echogenicity, irregular margins, microcalcifications, taller-than-wide, interrupted rim calcifications,...
Spontaneous rupture of the uterine artery during pregnancy is an extremely uncommon condition, which presents as acute emergency, associated with high rates maternal and foetal mortality. This condition challenging to diagnose treat, it entity having nature presentation. They are usually managed by emergency laparotomy diagnosis rarely made preoperatively. We describe a case CT angiographic images clearly demonstrating pseudoaneurysm extensive haemoperitoneum, helped us confirm this rare...
Introduction: This paper presents our experience with deep venous stenting in a multi-ethnic Asian cohort of patients symptomatic Non-Thrombotic Iliac Vein Lesions (NIVL) and Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS). Materials Methods: was multicentre retrospective study who had disease. Stent patency rate evaluated using Duplex ultrasonography immediately post-intervention at 3, 6 12 months. Clinical outcomes were the revised Venous Severity Score (rVCSS) Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score...
