Abstract An improved 10 Fr version of the atrial septal defect (ASD) occlusion system consisting two umbrellas for transvenous introduction over long veno‐arterial guide‐wire was used to attempt closure in five adult patients with large defects (26–35 mm). The are made nitinol wire frame and a thin membrane microporous polyurethane. Supported by metal cannula guided selective left atriography, 45–60 mm were placed individually into atria screwed together at septum level means torquer...
Between February 1985 and May 1987, 72 patients with mitral stenosis (MS) underwent percutaneous transluminal valvuloplasty (PTMV). The retrograde transarterial double-balloon technique was used on 54/72 (75%); 16 males, 38 females; mean age: 39 +/- 11 years. Transseptal catheterization to place two 0.035", 350-cm exchange wires into the ascending aorta in order be snared, retrieved, exteriorized, each through a femoral artery. Over these wires, balloon dilation catheters were advanced...
The aim of the present study was to investigate relationship between mid-trimester ultrasound fetal liver length (FLL) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in a high-risk population.A prospective performed 331 women with singleton pregnancies who were at high risk GDM undergoing examination. scan 23 weeks gestation followed by 100-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) 24 gestation.

Background and Objectives: One of the most frequent genetic alterations reported to date in prostate cancer (PC) is aberrant methylation glutathione transferase P1 (GSTP1). Taking into consideration involvement oxidative stress PC pathogenesis recent advances scientific understanding role GSTP1*Ala114Val rs1138272 polymorphism carcinogenesis, we hypothesized that this single-nucleotide (SNP) influences risk independently of, or combination with, other GST polymorphisms, including...
A new device for transcatheter closure of heart defects was constructed and used to close a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in seven adult patients an atrial septal defect (ASD) six patients. The consisted two self‐opening umbrellas piece Ivalon. Dacron patch sewn on the “male” umbrella ASD closure. required 9 Fr introducing venous sheath PDA 14 ASD. venoarterial (right femoral vein‐PDA or ASD‐left artery) long wire track arranged. Ivalon were inserted transvenously one after another,...
In recent years, the focus of numerous studies has been predictive value inflammatory and nutritional parameters in oncology patients. The aim our study was to examine relationship between histopathological characteristics patients with bladder cancer. A retrospective included 491 who underwent radical cystectomy for cancer 2017 2021. We calculated preoperative values neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived (dNLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), response (SIRI),...

Transcatheter occlusion of cardiac defects has become an effective and less invasive alternative to open heart surgery. Thromboembolic complications are rare events, after both surgical transcatheter closure atrial septal [Galal et al.: Eur Heart J 15:1381–1384, 1994]. We report on a case thrombus formation the defect occluder system (ASDOS) [Sievert Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn 36:232–240, 1995; Hausdorf 75:83–88, 1996]. Two days occlusion, patient suffered acute stroke due embolism despite...
