Background: Bedside insertion of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) has higher rates malposition than fluoroscopic-guided PICC placement. This study evaluated the success rate bedside placement, variations in tip location, and risk factors for malposition. Methods: retrospective included patients who underwent placement from January 2013 to September 2014 a single institution. The procedure was conducted under ultrasound guidance or by blind method. After location determined...
We aim to determine the safety and effectiveness of a standard therapeutic package Korean medicine for treatment unexplained infertility in cross-section women who sought at an integrative hospital Seoul, Korea.Infertility affects more than 1.2 million United States alone. Treatment options vary, yet barriers invasiveness, cost, access inhibit use many women. Alternative medical approaches exist this indication, sustain certain popularity. Therefore, we systematically studied treat...
A 41-year-old man presented with alcoholic liver cirrhosis ascites and clotting abnormality. After therapeutic paracentesis, haemoperitoneum ensued without colour Doppler ultrasound or CT evidence of pseudoaneurysm haematoma at the site paracentesis. However, an angiogram inferior epigastric artery revealed obvious small arising from its muscular branch, this was successfully treated by transcatheter embolization N-butyl cyanoacrylate. Transcatheter cyanoacrylate is useful treatment for...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complication that can occur during endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), increasing postoperative mortality and disease-related death. We therefore evaluated the incidence of AKI after elective EVAR, as well related factors affecting occurrence, investigating volume contrast medium (CV)/estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ratio predictive factor.We retrospectively reviewed data patients who underwent EVAR for infrarenal abdominal aorta at single center...
This study compared the possible options for vascular access in breast cancer patients by analyzing complications of each method. We retrospectively evaluated procedures intravenous chemotherapy from 2016 to 2018. A total 300 consecutive were included, 100 who received peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs), arm ports, and chest ports. When selecting a catheter, PICC was considered when four cycles expected. Otherwise, patient preference considered. All but one with an port women,...
Background: Prolonged standing or sitting at work is associated with a high prevalence of chronic venous disease (CVD).We aimed to evaluate the CVD by assessing its occurrence and symptoms in hospital health care workers.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed healthcare workers from one university who agreed take questionnaire on lower extremity symptoms.The VEINES-QOL/Sym was used for clinical evaluation.Results: A total 1,166 participated survey; 247 (21.2%) were male 919 (78.8%) female.The...
Arteriovenous (AV) access practice and its outcomes vary internationally. To provide a better understanding of the patterns AV creation, we investigated patency risk factors arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) grafts (AVGs) as initial in Korean adult population using data from last 10 years.
Purpose: This study was to observe the effect of herbal decoction for sitz bath on dermoepidermal recovery wound tissue in rat's skin. Methods: The samples were assigned 3 groups: control group : without any treatment, positive potarose 10% solution, experiment bath. We made open size that cut deep into dermis. Treating 17 days, we observed diminishing. On 17th cell viability measured by MTT assay. anti-inflammatory and examined H&E staining, immunohystochemical staining MIP-2, FGF. Results:...
This study aims to analyze the entire registry of kidney transplant over past 50 years and understand clinical significance.From data on 3012 transplants performed at our center between March 1969 September 2018, we analyzed retrospectively variables.Until there have been performed. The number primary cases was 2755 (91.8%), which included 16 simultaneous liver-kidney transplant, repeated 245 (225 second [7.5%] 20 third [0.7%]). There were 3 pancreas transplants, small bowel-kidney one them...
Purpose: Hypermethylation of human mut L homologue 1 (hMLH1) promoter region is known to cause sporadic microsatellite instability (MSI) colorectal cancers. 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) the key enzyme in folate metabolism, acting as a methyl donor for DNA methylation. In this study, we investigate whether polymorphism MTHFR 677C>T plays role alteration promoter-specific hypermethylation, predisposing MSI Methods: Total 487 cancer patients CHA Bundang Medical Center were...
Accurate diagnosis and management of a femoral vascular injury is important as it life-threatening with high morbidity mortality. This the case 75-year-old man admitted to emergency room trauma right groin due horse fall. Computed tomography showed active bleeding artery without pelvic or fracture. We inserted stent-graft, but hypotension persisted. Exploration was completed, from external iliac vein identified repaired. In conclusion, rare in associated fracture, however, arterial venous...
Objective: Endovenous ablation can sometimes be challenged by the anatomical factors of great saphenous vein (GSV).We aimed to evaluate distribution reflux and location GSV.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed ultrasound images limbs with varicose veins who underwent surgery.We evaluated depth GSV, as well access site or ablated extent.Results: A total 549 GSV in 450 patients were included this study.The distal end was located upper thigh 9 (1.6%) limbs, mid-thigh 41 (7.5%) lower 157 (28.6%)...
Abstract Background The AJCC 8 edition has changed much in comparison with the 7 edition. In addition to TNM stage, biologic marker (ER, PR, HER2), Histologic grade and multigene assays (oncotype Dx.) should be considered for staging. it been applied since January 1, 2018. patients were recategorized analyzed order know if this more complex classification helps predict real prognosis of patients, Method We review who diagnosed treated as breast cancer at Konyang Universty Hospital. we...
Background: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is known to be more effective in iliac vein stenting than venography.IVUS provides much sufficient information for decision making and malposition of stent around narrow lesion. Material Method:We retrospectively reviewed data patients who underwent pharmacomechanical catheter directed thrombolysis (PCDT) or manual aspiration thrombectomy acute iliofemoral deep thrombosis (DVT) from Aug 2016 Feb 2019.The treatment procedures outcomes under IVUS...
Drug-coated balloons have shown successful results in treating peripheral arterial occlusive disease. However, using multiple for long femoropopliteal lesions (>15 cm) remains challenging; their safety and efficacy need to be explored. Therefore, we aimed evaluate the outcomes of drug-coated terms primary patency, freedom from clinically-driven target lesion revascularization, mortality.
