Meta-analyses and emerging randomized data indicate that second-generation ('mesh') carotid stents (SGS) may improve outcomes versus conventional (single-layer) but clinically-relevant differences in individual SGS-type performance have been identified. No comparisons exist for SGS endarterectomy (CEA).
The broad spectrum of clinical manifestations caused by peripheral arterial disease [PAD] and the morphologic heterogeneity associated atherosclerotic lesions present a considerable management challenge. Endovascular interventions are recognized an effective treatment for PAD. Within this revascularization strategy role atherectomy debulking modalities continue to evolve. Accordingly, study herein assessed efficacy safety novel, solid state, Nd: YAG pulsed-wave [355 nm wavelength] laser in...
Background: The external carotid artery (ECA) plays a vital role in facial perfusion and acts as collateral pathway for cerebral blood flow during internal (ICA) stenosis. In cases of near-occlusion (CNO), characterized by severe ICA stenosis with hemodynamic changes, stenting (CAS) is rising potential new treatment. During CAS, the stent deployed ICA, covering ECA orifice. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate effects CAS on ECA. Materials Methods: This retrospective included 159 patients...
Introduction: Vascular graft infections (VGEIs) are rare but severe complications in vascular surgery. The choice of reconstruction material following removal is critical, particularly for infection prevention. This study evaluates the use No-React® BioIntegral Surgical Grafts, made from bovine pericardium, treatment VGEIs. Materials and Methods: A retrospective 12 patients (mean age 66.5 years; 67% male) treated between 2020 2022 was conducted. follow-up period included extended date...
New therapies for refractory angina are needed.Assessment of transendocardial delivery bone marrow CD133+ cells in patients with angina.Randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 31 recurrent Canadian Cardiovascular Society II-IV angina, despite optimal medical therapy, ≥1 myocardial segment inducible ischemia Tc-99m SPECT who underwent biopsy and were allocated to (n=16) or placebo (n=15). Primary end point was absolute change by SPECT. Secondary points left ventricular...
Mobilization of stem cells in acute MI might signify the reparatory response. Aim Study . Prospective evaluation correlation between CD34+CXCR4+ cell mobilization and improvement LVEF remodeling patients with 1-year followup. Methods 50 MI, 28 stable angina (SAP), 20 individuals no CAD (CTRL). cells, SDF-1, G-CSF, troponin I (TnI) NT-proBNP were measured on admission 1 year after MI. Echocardiography ergospirometry carried out year. Results Number was significantly higher comparison SAP...
Introduction: Recent clinical studies have suggested a relationship between multiple sclerosis (MS) and the occurrence of pathological changes in jugular, vertebral azygous veins that result abnormal blood outflow from brain spinal cord. Together, these been designated chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI). The aim present study was to evaluate usefulness duplex Doppler ultrasound evaluation central nervous system disturbances patients suffering MS. Methods: We examined 181 with...
Summary Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) decreases apoptosis, inflammation and oxidative stress. The aim of the study was to investigate effects intracoronary infusion allogenic bone marrow cells (BMC) overexpressing HO-1 in porcine model myocardial infarction (MI). MI produced by balloon occlusion a coronary artery. BMC were transduced with adenoviruses encoding for (HO-1 BMC) or GFP (GFP-BMC) genes. Prior reperfusion animals received BMC, control (unmodified GFP-BMC) placebo. Left ventricular (LV)...
Esophageus or gaster resection in patients with malignant disease is still a treatment of choice. It obvious that each surgical procedure these carries some possibility complications. Esophageo-gastric esophageo-jejuno anastomosis has 4-27% frequency fistula occurrence. All result 65% mortality cases poorer prognosis. The aim this paper not to present all types complications but objectively analyse the usefulness covered stent placement anastomotic fistulas. We six who were treated for...
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD), caused by atherosclerotic processes, is allied with an increased risk of ischemic events, limb loss, and death. Recently, the use a solid‐state laser at 355 nm within hybrid catheter was suggested for that purpose. In this work, short nanosecond pulses delivered through catheter, composed optical fibers blunt mechanical blade, are used to conduct pre‐clinical study two clinical cases. The consisted calcified cadaveric leg porcine in vivo trial iliac artery,...
Background: The external carotid artery (ECA) supplies blood to various facial and neck regions may contribute collateral cerebral perfusion. With the rise in stenting (CAS) as a treatment for stenosis, ECA overstenting has become common procedure feature. This study aimed assess incidence, characteristics, duration of pain following CAS, hypothesizing that pain. Materials Methods: prospective included 55 patients treated with CAS internal (ICA) stenosis at single center. Patients’ was...
Introduction . This study is a comparative evaluation of the TVT, TOT, and our own modification TOT (mTOT) in treatment female stress urinary incontinence from single center experience.

Background: Peripheral aneurysms, although known about for centuries, are challenging to monitor due their asymptomatic nature. Advanced imaging has improved detection, which is crucial preventing emergent complications. This five-year retrospective study from a single center aimed evaluate the location, presentation, diagnosis, and management of 110 patients with aneurysms femoral popliteal arteries lower limb. Materials methods: The included 71 true 39 pseudoaneurysms treated between...
