Lumboperitoneal shunt (LPS), ventriculoperitoneal (VPS) and optic nerve sheath fenestration (ONSF) are accepted surgical therapies for medically refractory idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). In the subset of patients with IIH venous sinus stenosis, dural stenting has emerged as an alternative approach.All cases stents at our institution were retrospectively reviewed. Eligibility criteria included documented papilledema stenosis dominant outflow system (gradient ≥10 mm Hg).Fifteen...
To analyze in detail the location and types of stenosis occlusion that occur after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation to determine relative contribution these various TIPS malfunction recurrent symptoms variceal bleeding or ascites.In 116 217 patients who underwent between June 1990 July 1995, follow-up portal venography was performed at 6-month intervals for ascites.Cumulative primary venographic patency by means Kaplan-Meier survival analysis 55% 6 months 5% 2...
Anterior communicating artery (A-comm) aneurysm is one of the most common intracranial aneurysms. Treatments include neurosurgical clipping or endovascular embolization.To retrospectively examine long-term results Neuroform stent-assisted coil embolization incidental A-comms, with a focus on stent-associated stenosis, angiographic occlusion outcome, delayed stent-related thromboembolus, subsequent subarachnoid hemorrhage from treated aneurysm, and procedural complications.Between January 7,...
To prospectively evaluate the clinical efficacy of polyethylene-covered metallic Z-stents in treatment dysphagia secondary to malignant esophageal obstruction and esophagorespiratory fistula.Thirty-five patients with due (n = 32) fistula 3) were treated Gianturco-Rösch Z-stents.Thirty-nine stents placed 35 patients. Stent placement was technically successful all Improvement achieved 34 The average score decreased from 3.1 (dysphagia liquids) 0.6 (essentially normal diet). An completely...
To assess the association between specific heart diseases and suicide.Nationwide retrospective cohort study.A total of 7 298 002 individuals (3 640 632 males 3 657 370 females) aged ≥15 years living in Denmark during 1980-2016.Incidence rate ratios (IRR) with 95% confidence intervals. In multivariate analysis, we adjust for sex, period, age group, status, income level, Charlson Comorbidity Index, psychiatric disorders prior to disease self-harm disease.Excess suicide were found following...
Due to anatomic features, including wide necks and incorporation of important branches, endovascular coiling middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms has proved challenging. Stent assisted embolization may increase the likelihood successful treatment.Consecutive patients undergoing stent coil utilizing Neuroform from 2004 2009 were identified by hospital billing records. Procedural clinical information-including procedure related mortality morbidity long term outcomes-were then obtained...
Devices to close a femoral arteriotomy are frequently used after catheterization for interventional radiology and cardiac procedures decrease the time hemostasis ambulation and, potentially, local complications. The Mynx vascular closure device uses sealant designed occlude access tract, resulting in hemostasis.We retrospectively reviewed all cases which was follow-up angiography available. A total of 146 devices were deployed 135 patients. study visualizing artery performed 26 patients (27...
To retrospectively evaluate the midterm patency rate of nitinol (Viatorr, W.L. Gore and Associates, Flagstaff, Ariz) stent-graft for direct intrahepatic portacaval shunt (DIPS) creation.Institutional Review Board approval this retrospective HIPAA-compliant study was obtained with waiver informed consent. DIPS created in 18 men one woman (median age, 54 years; range, 45-65 years) by using polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered stent-grafts. The primary indications were intractable ascites (n...
The use of bare metal stents (BMS) to prevent recurrent stroke due stenosis the cerebral vasculature is associated with high rates restenosis. Drug-eluting (DES) may decrease this risk. We evaluated performance DES in a cohort patients treated at our institution. Consecutive were identified by case log and billing records; data regarding procedural details, clinical outcome angiographic follow-up was obtained retrospective chart review. Twenty-six (27 vessels; 14 vertebral origin (VO); 13...
PURPOSE: To compare the accuracy of contrast material–enhanced three-dimensional (3D) dedicated calf magnetic resonance (MR) angiography with that bolus-chase MR angiography, conventional as reference standard, in patients symptomatic peripheral vascular disease (PVD). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty men PVD were examined. was performed at 1.5 T before angiography. angiographic examination included 3D contrast-enhanced and three-station Two radiologists blinded to results evaluated angiograms...
