Abstract Background and Aims Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) have demonstrated favourable outcomes following endovascular therapy for femoropopliteal artery (FPA) disease. However, uncertainty remains whether the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) can improve DCBs. Methods This prospective, multicentre, randomized trial, conducted at seven centres in South Korea, compared IVUS-guided vs. angiography-guided angioplasty treating FPA disease with Patients were assigned to receive (n = 119) or...
No effective treatment for acute lung injury and fibrosis currently exists. Aim of this study was to investigate the time-dependent effect bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMDMSCs) on bleomycin (BLM)-induced nitric oxide metabolites inflammatory cytokine production. BMDMSCs were transferred 4 days after BLM inhalation. Wet/dry ratio, bronchoalveolar lavage cell profiles, histologic changes deposition collagen analyzed. Nitrite, nitrate cytokines measured weekly through day 28. At...
Background— The aim of this study was to assess whether deferred stenting (DS) reduces infarct size and microvascular obstruction (MVO) compared with immediate (IS) in primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction. Methods Results— From February 2013 August 2015, 114 patients (mean age: 69 years) were randomized into the following 2 groups: DS an intention stent 3 7 days later or IS after reperfusion centers. secondary end points incidence MVO,...
Purpose: To prospectively investigate the effect of injection rate a saline solution as bolus chaser for enhancement aorta and coronary arteries at multidetector computed tomographic (CT) angiography. Materials Methods: Institutional review board approved this study, all patients gave informed consent. One hundred consecutive (59 men, 41 women; mean age, 58 years ± 11 [standard deviation]) underwent 64-section CT angiography artery disease. They were divided into five groups (each group, n =...
Previous studies have demonstrated that a shorter hospital stay reduces adverse outcomes in heart failure (HF), primarily observational study settings. This trend was further emphasized during the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting case-control study-like results. A subanalysis conducted on 239 patients from Japanese multicenter cohort (HINODE), encompassing 32 months before and 6 after pandemic onset. The duration of hospitalization clinical were compared between these 2 periods HF who received...
Background: The premise of this study was that after the correction hallux-metatarsophalangeal pronation, intraoperative interphalangeal angle (HIA) increases significantly, and an additional Akin osteotomy (AO) is often needed. Therefore, purpose to evaluate whether HIAs in hallux valgus (HV) feet were underestimated, assess need for AO during HV correction. Method: This conducted on 54 with moderate severe treated from June 2007 December 2008. medial sesamoid subluxations (MSS) measured...
Scarring on the dorsal first web space after lateral soft tissue release can be a major contributor to patient dissatisfaction following hallux valgus surgery. We hypothesized that performing distal procedure (DSTP), proximal reverse chevron metatarsal osteotomy (PCMO), and Akin through single medial incision would provide better clinical radiographic results with improved satisfaction compared bunion corrections performed 2 incisions.The study included 117 feet (of 98 patients) moderate...
To determine whether C-reactive protein is associated with the type of coronary plaque seen at computed tomographic (CT) angiography.The institutional review board approved this retrospective study, and need for informed consent was waived. levels were measured in 2653 asymptomatic subjects (mean age ± standard deviation, 54.7 years 9.2; 1811 men) who underwent self-referred CT angiography as part a general health checkup. The presence plaque, (calcified, mixed calcified, or noncalcified),...
Background and Objectives: Numbness on the hand occurs infrequently after a transradial cardiac catheterization (TRC).The symptom resembles that of neuropathy.We, therefore, investigated prevalence, predicting factors presence neurological abnormalities numbness, using nerve conduction study (NCS).Subjects Methods: From April to December 2013, all patients who underwent TRC were prospectively enrolled.From among these, experienced numbness ipsilateral instructed describe their symptoms...
Rebaudioside A and erythritol are nonnutritive sweeteners. There have been several studies of their glycemic effects, but the outcomes remain controversial. The purpose this study was to evaluate effects rebaudioside as a sweetener in people with glucose intolerance.This trial evaluated effect after 2 weeks consumption sweeteners pre-diabetic population. patients were for fructosamine, fasting plasma glucose, C-peptide, insulin, 2-hour before sweetener. primary outcome change fructosamine...
PurposeTo investigate the predictors of failed false lumen (FL) volume reduction at 12 months after stent-graft implantation in patients with type B aortic dissection. MethodsThe retrospective analysis comprised 38 (25 men; mean age 60±12 years) double-barrel dissection (9 acute) treated thoracic endovascular repair (TEVAR) and evaluated serial computed tomography (CT) scans up to months. Aortic changes were determined. Based on FL change 1 year implantation, dichotomized according presence...
Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) has been shown to be a prognostic factor in several subgroups of patients due its promotion vascular calcification. However, the impact serum ALP level ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with relatively low calcification burden not determined. We aimed investigate association measured at time presentation on clinical outcomes STEMI requiring primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).A total 1178 undergoing PCI between 2007 and 2014 were...
Lower abdominal soft tissue transfer is the standard procedure for breast reconstruction. However, wall weakness and herniation commonly occur postoperatively at donor site. To reduce morbidities of site, superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) flap was introduced, but inconsistent anatomy SIEA has reduced its utility. In present study, vessels in Korean women determined with regards to reconstructive surgery.The vascular anatomies vein (SIEV) were evaluated on 32 cancer patients...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant risk factor for contrast induced acute injury (CI-AKI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study included 1592 CKD patients extracted from prospective multicenter, all comer-based registry of undergoing PCI. In multivariate logistic analysis CI-AKI development, linear trend was observed between the quartiles HDL-C (quartile 1 vs. 2: odds ratio [OR], 0.716; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.421-1.219; quartile 3: OR, 0.534; CI,...
