Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) embolization during endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in patients at high risk type II endoleak (T2EL) randomized controlled trial (RCT). Summary Background Data: Several studies have demonstrated a reduction T2EL by IMA before EVAR. However, there been no RCT confirming efficacy embolization. Methods: Patients scheduled for elective EVAR between April 2014 and March 2018 were eligible. (IMA patency with...
Background Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) are broadly used in coronary artery bypass grafting despite their inferior patency compared with arterial grafts. Recently, the no-touch technique (NT), which an SVG is harvested a pedicle of perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) without conduit distension, was shown to improve long-term conventional preparation (CV), wherein outer removed distension. The NT also reportedly associated reduced atherosclerosis. Although endothelial damage provoked by...
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) incidence following minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) is rare. We report a case of acute failure that was diagnosed as ARDS. A 77-year-old female patient with aortic valve stenosis underwent replacement via right thoracotomy. The uneventful, and the extubated on day surgery. However, oxygen saturation steadily declined one postoperatively, re-intubated. Chest radiography revealed bilateral heterogeneous infiltrates. After excluding other...
Abstract OBJECTIVES To examine the outcomes of patients with classical hypoplastic left heart syndrome following extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 812 cases that underwent connection at our hospital between 1994 and 2022. With a median follow-up 10.1 years, we compared survival rate, Fontan-related events, liver function, postoperative haemodynamics, freedom from reintervention, exercise tolerance in 109 (cH group), 205 heterotaxy (Hx 498 other...
We report a case of duodenal neuroendocrine tumor (NET) G1 resected by laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) technique. A 58-year-old woman underwent esophagastroduodenoscopy, revealing an 8-mm, gently rising distal to the pylorus, on anterior wall bulb. Endoscopic ultrasonography suggested might invade submucosal layer. The was pathologically diagnosed as NET, biopsy. dissection attempted, but unsuccessful because difficulty endoscopically performing inversion operation in...
Despite the importance of preoperative evaluation small vessels in flap elevation, conventional methods such as palpation or Doppler probes are technically insufficient. These two do not detect varying venous patterns that would be identified during operation a "trial-and-error" manner. In order to overcome this problem facial vessels, an anatomic study was done using color ultrasonography 12 adults. The artery and vein were located together at lower border mandible. On other hand, around...
We report nine cases with acute or subacute lipodermatosclerosis treated successfully using multilayer bandages. All patients were women aged 52–90 years. Before presenting to our clinic, all had been for a tentative diagnosis of cellulitis caused by bacterial infection inflammation unknown cause 3–19 weeks without improvement. Initially, we instructed their caregivers regarding the bandaging technique achieve an interface pressure >40 mmHg. Subsequently, this was continued...
We previously reported that local subcutaneous echo-free space (SEFS) in the leg was stirringly correlated with extracellular fluid (ECF) status same part of when assessed using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). In this study, we examined whether SEFS represents ECF entire limb.In 51 legs and 40 arms lymphedema (LE), tissue ultrasonography performed to determine severity (range, 0-2). BIA also calculate L-Dex® score (LDS), which is a BIA-derived parameter represent status, for arm...
Purpose: To evaluate the advantages of chimney endovascular aneurysm repair (chEVAR) using an Endurant stent-graft with uncovered balloon-expandable stents (BES) for patients juxtarenal aortic aneurysms. Materials and Methods: Twenty-two (mean age 78.5±9.0 years; 13 men) who underwent chEVAR BES between January 2014 December 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The maximum diameter was 59.1±11.9 mm, proximal neck length 5.2±2.9 mm. Of 22 cases, 9 (40%) involved angulation had a conical neck....
This report introduces the reverse slider technique to obtain proximal sealing effectively in endovascular aneurysm repair short or angulated necks. It is deployment process of stent graft main body by repeatedly rotating and reversing external with slight loosening suprarenal stent. method helps accurate placement edge effective on greater curvature side even an extending zone. gained changing Endurant (Medtronic, Santa Rosa, Calif) as existing popular device.
The seventh and eighth costal cartilages were harvested through a small 1.5 to 2 cm skin incision made in the midinframammary fold female patients inferior border of coastal cartilage male using an endoscope (total, 5 patients). lateral half is dissected subperichondrially under direct visualization access incision, residual endoscope. advantages harvest include better remote site reduced risk perforations pleura bleeding endoscopically-magnified visualization. This technique particularly...
Background: We aimed to clarify whether pathological changes in skin and subcutaneous tissue with lymphedema affected the hardness sensed by palpation. Methods Results: In 50 patients unilateral legs (LE), of lower inner thigh calf was determined using a scale ranging from 1 (softest) 7 (hardest) based on Then, correlated measurements skin/subcutaneous ultrasonography images obtained palpated parts. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that dermal thickness significant...
To clarify the effects of compression and active ankle motion on venous hemodynamics in healthy sitting individuals.In position, 14 participants performed plantar flexion dorsiflexion for 3 s each without compression. Changes calf volume were recorded using air plethysmography. Subsequently, process was repeated with application tubular elastic bandage (TEB), followed by anti-thrombotic stocking (ATS).The median interface pressure at 16 mmHg TEB 21 ATS. Without (N), 76 mL. This reduced to 58...
To clarify the differences in mode of fluid accumulation between arm and leg lymphedema using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA).In 22 arms with (ALE) 65 legs (LLE), as well 54 venous edema (VE) for comparison, BIA was performed twice April 2015 March 2017. Then, changes BIA-derived parameters were correlated extremity volumes. In ALE, change extracellular resistance (Re) negatively volume (r = 0.51), while intracellular (Ri) constant, irrespective 0.19). LLE, Re 0.67), but Ri also...
