Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate if false-negative interpretations at computed tomographic (CT) colonography are due to observer error. Materials and Methods: This study was HIPAA compliant had institutional review board approval, with waiver of informed consent. An initial unblinded CT colonographic image data used generate reconciliation reports for all polyp candidates 6.0 mm or larger. These findings were then verified by two experienced readers. After from the original reviewed,...
Bridging therapy plays an increasingly important role in the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) awaiting liver transplantation (LT). Combination drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) and percutaneous thermal ablation, such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or microwave (MWA), has shown success at prolonging survival bridging to LT. However, few studies have evaluated two combination regimens head-to-head a single institution, fewer compared...
Background An autogenous arteriovenous fistula is the optimal vascular access for hemodialysis. In case of brachiocephalic fistula, cephalic arch stenosis commonly develops leading to failure. We have hypothesized that a contribution failure low wall shear stress resulting from post-fistula creation hemodynamic changes occur in arch. Methods Twenty-two subjects with advanced renal had fistulae placed. The following procedures were performed at mapping (pre-operative) and maturation (8–32...
Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is a constellation of symptoms that develops during stenosis or occlusion the superior (SVC) its main tributaries. Obstruction above azygos vein causes moderate increase in venous pressure because blood can be diverted through chest-wall veins into thoracic and iliac then enters heart by way inferior system. Blockage below level not well tolerated higher required to pump back only patent channel, cava.[1]
