To compare the safety and efficacy of laser debulking (LD) drug-eluting balloon (DEB) angioplasty to treatment with DEB alone in patients affected by critical limb ischemia (CLI) superficial femoral artery (SFA) chronic stent occlusion a prospective, randomized study.Among 448 CLI treated from December 2009 March 2011, 48 (39 men; mean age 72.7±7.8 years) SFA in-stent were randomly assigned using LD+DEB (n=24) or (n=24). Patency at 12 months was primary outcome measure; secondary outcomes...
To illustrate the use of a mechanical thromboaspiration device originally designed for clot retrieval in acute stroke treatment distal embolism occurring during percutaneous revascularization femoropopliteal and below-the-knee arterial segments.The Penumbra system was adapted aspiration thrombus foot arteries as standalone device. The 2 over-the-wire, tapered lumen catheters have long working lengths (139 cm 4MAX to 153 3MAX) that allow advancement below ankle even with retrograde...
The aims of this study were to: a) evaluate tumor response rates using modified-Response-evaluation-criteria-in-solid-tumors (mRecist) criteria, b) safety Degradable Starch Microspheres Trans-arterial-chemo-embolization (DSMs-TACE) for unresectable hepatocellular-carcinoma (HCC) treatment.We prospectively enrolled 24 HCC cirrhotic patients (21/3 M/F, mean age 66.3 years) to be treated with repeated DSMs-TACE procedures, performed at 4-6 week intervals on the basis and tolerance. Clinical...
According to Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer, the recommended first-line treatment for patients with intermediate stage of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is transarterial chemoembolization. Patients HCC represent 20% a 2-year survival approximately 50%. Nowadays, therapies have proved precious in hepatic malignancies. During last years, there were important developments practiced and their efficacy still controversial. The purpose this review discuss further details these that been used treat...
Background and purpose To report clinical procedural outcomes of acute ischemic stroke patients after endovascular treatment with the new thromboaspiration catheter AXS Catalyst 6. Methods Patients anterior posterior circulation were selected. Successful reperfusion defined as a Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) score ≥2 b 3-month functional independence modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ≤2 main efficacy outcomes. Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage mortality safety Results 107 suitable...
Central nervous system vasculitis (CNSV) is an uncommon and poorly understood form of vasculitis. Early recognition important because medical treatment might improve the outcome. However, randomized clinical trials on CNSV do not exist. Endovascular has been reported in few cases, but no data exist for intracranial stenting. We report 2 cases patients with suspected recurrent episodes, treated A 48-year-old man had relapsing episodes right hemiparesis. Neuroradiological exams showed severe...
Objective Boucher-Neuhäuser Syndrome (BNS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, spinocerebellar ataxia, and chorioretinal syndrome, associated with variant in the PNPLA6 gene. Although many reports have mentioned presence of cognitive impairment, neuropsychological assessment BNS case has never been published. Here, we provide detailed description young adult patient who homozygous pathogenic gene.Method A 21-year-old man progressive ataxia...
Prosopamnesia is a face-selective memory disorder in which face learning impaired, while face-perception (prosopagnosia) and disorders for stimuli other than faces are not present. To date, only two cases of prosopamnesia have been reported adults – one congenital secondary to brain damage. This article reports case 68-year-old woman complaining difficulties recognizing persons she had got know recently. Neuropsychological examination revealed face-specific anterograde amnesia the absence...
