<h3>Objective</h3> To examine the effect of balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) on chronic thromboembolic hypertension (CTEPH) in patients with inoperable disease or persistent after endarterectomy. <h3>Design</h3> Observational cohort study. <h3>Setting</h3> Referred CTEPH. <h3>Patients</h3> Twenty consecutive CTEPH (10 females), aged 60±10 years. <h3>Interventions</h3> BPA. <h3>Main outcome measures</h3> Right heart catheterisation, functional capacity (cardiopulmonary exercise testing...
Left heart catheterization carries a risk for cerebral complications. The aims of this prospective study were to determine the frequency and composition catheterization-related microemboli detect morphological changes acute cognitive impairment due catheterization.Forty-seven unselected patients undergoing elective left catheterization, either by transradial or transfemoral access, monitored using multifrequency transcranial Doppler. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with...
Objective: VASCERN (https://vascern.eu/) is the European Reference Network for Rare Multisystemic Vascular Diseases. VASCERN-VASCA working group within that focuses on study of vascular anomalies. One objectives this to establish patient pathways guide physicians toward efficient diagnostic and management measures. The pathway presented here focused capillary malformations (CMs). Methods: Nominal Group Technique, a structured variation small discussion was used. Two facilitators were...
The treatment of choice for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is endarterectomy (PEA). Balloon angioplasty (BPA) an emerging option inoperable patients. Comparisons the hemodynamic and functional outcome between these treatments are scarce. In this single-center observational cohort study, we compared hemodynamics by right heart catheterization peak oxygen consumption before 5 months (±14 days) after either PEA or BPA. Comprehensive evaluation selection BPA was performed...
Introduction: Lymphatic malformations are rare developmental non-malignant abnormalities that present as masses consisting of abnormal growth fluid filled channels or spaces in the skin deep tissue result lymphatic flow. They may cause symptoms like pain, recurrent lymphorrea, bone growth, and disturbance bodily functions. also be a cosmetic problem. The study aims to describe population with (LM) treated at national referral centre.Materials methods: This is retrospective review patients...
Background Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the treatment of choice for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), while balloon angioplasty (BPA) an alternative inoperable patients. We aimed to compare right ventricular (RV) remodelling and late survival after PEA BPA. Methods In this prospective observational cohort study, we performed echocardiography at baseline follow-up in patients with CTEPH treated (n=54) or BPA (n=44) between 2011 2022. Results Follow-up was 5 months...
Forty‐five patients scheduled for major abdominal or intrathoracic surgery were assigned at random to two different groups. One group received 0.3 mg and the other 0.9 of buprenorphine epidurally abolish postoperative pain. The first dose was given immediately upon arrival in ICU, irrespective Subsequent medication on demand. duration action side‐effects recorded. Both doses produced excellent long‐lasting pain relief, but no statistically significant difference found between groups, with...
We evaluated an extensive profile of clinical variables and immune markers to assess the inflammatory milieu associated with cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) assessed by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) virtual histology (VH). In total, 101 heart transplant (HTx) recipients were included underwent IVUS/VH examination measurement plasma C-reactive protein (CRP), soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor-1, interleukin-6, osteoprotegerin, gp130, von Willebrand factor, vascular cell adhesion...
The effect of a composite demineralized bone mixed with polyorthoester on the healing large segmental defects in rat radius was studied. Sixty male Wistar rats were divided into four groups, A through D, and an osteoperiosteal diaphyseal defect 50 per cent length made right each rat. In Group A, filled bone; B, C, polyorthoester. No material implanted Group-D rats. killed fifty days postoperatively. formation quantified computer-assisted measurements area radiographs. host-tissue response...
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT, Osler-Weber-Rendu disease) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease defined by the presence of epistaxis and mucocutaneous telangiectasias arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in internal organs. In most families (~85%), HHT caused mutations ENG (HHT1) or ACVRL1 (HHT2) genes. Here, we report results genetic testing 113 Norwegian with suspected definite HHT. Variants were found 105 (42 ENG, 63 ACVRL1), including six novel variants uncertain...
Sixty adult patients admitted for emergency major orthopedic surgery were studied according to a doubleblind, randomized design in order evaluate if single dose of 20 mg metoclopramide given intravenously at least 90 min before premedication could evacuate the stomach anesthesia. Three excluded. X‐ray examination following intake barium sulfate anesthesia showed 10 with full stomach, all belonging placebo group. This study demonstrates significantly fewer ( P < 0.002) after...
Objectives. Patients with SLE who undergo kidney transplantation are at increased risk of premature cardiovascular disease. The current study aimed to investigate the prevalence coronary artery calcification in transplanted patients without symptoms and explore factors associated atherosclerosis. Methods. This was a cross-sectional functioning graft. Evaluation included laboratory tests, disease activity indices, multi-slice CT for quantification (Agatston score >400 = high calcification,...
Background Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is an accelerated form of atherosclerosis unique to heart transplant (HTX) patients. Purpose To investigate the detection significant coronary artery stenosis and CAV, determinants image quality, radiation dose in computed tomography angiography (CCTA) HTX patients with 64-slice multidetector CT (64-MDCT). Material Methods Fifty-two recipients scheduled for invasive (ICA) were prospectively enrolled underwent CCTA before ICA intravascular...
