To evaluate risk factors for early (<30 days) type I endoleak following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).A retrospective study was conducted of 439 consecutive patients (mean age 74.0±10.0 years; 333 men) who underwent TEVAR at a single center between June 2006 and 2013. Pathologies included 237 arch aneurysms 202 descending (dTAA). Maximum TAA diameter 63.6±13.7 mm. Among the distal aneurysms, 124 required coverage left subclavian artery (LSA), while remaining 113 had debranching...
The aim of the study is to identify potential risk factors cerebral infarction associated with thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR). TEVAR was developed as a less invasive surgical alternative conventional open for aortic treatment. However, outcomes following and distal arch aneurysms remain suboptimal. Cerebral major concern during perioperative period. We included 439 patients who underwent at high-volume teaching hospital between July 2006 June 2013. Univariate multivariate...
It is often difficult to differentiate benign from malignant intraductal papillary mucinous tumors (IPMTs). This study aimed them using various imaging techniques.Receiver operating characteristic curves were used establish optimal cutoff values in 121 patients with histologically confirmed IPMTs.For branch duct type, accuracy for malignancy was highest endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) measure the cyst diameter, and 68.2% at a value of 33.9 mm. For main highest, 71.1% 8.4 mm magnetic...
Abstract Background To respond to increasingly complicated healthcare needs in primary care settings, all health and medical welfare professionals are required collaborate with multiprofessionals, namely via “interprofessional work” (IPW). Interprofessional education (IPE) is essential for effective IPW, especially students. This study aimed determine whether participation IPE can increase students’ readiness interprofessional learning. Method We examined the difference of students learning...
Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), pulse wave velocity (PWV), and the ankle brachial index (ABI) are widely used noninvasive modalities for evaluating atherosclerosis.The aim of this study was to determine relationship carotid IMT, PWV, ABI with severity coronary artery disease (CAD), expressed as Gensini score, presence risk factors.We examined 205 consecutive patients (mean age 65 +/- 12 years) who were clinically suspected having CAD scheduled undergo angiography. thickness,...
Three cases of intussusception the appendix (IA) with distinctive pathologic changes were reported. All patients women different clinical presentations. Grossly, a complete was found in one case (case 1), while others (cases 2 and 3) showed partial intussusception. In 1, almost total segment bearing villous adenoma focal malignant transformation became completely telescoped into cecum. 2, no underlying appendiceal lesion disclosed. 3, endometriosis as point traction. Awareness such rare...
Background This study was designed to determine the factors influencing development of left ventricular (LV) remodeling in patients participating a comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), with special reference exercise intensity and frequency. Methods Results A total 72 AMI participated CR consisting training moderate (heart rate reserve 40-60%) education for 12 weeks. Plasma concentration brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) measured at...
Although no-reflow phenomenon may occur in patients that experience reperfusion after ischemia, there have been no reports describing the postmortem findings these patients. We describe of an autopsy a 56-year-old man who experienced acute coronary syndrome with intervention. Macroscopic study demonstrated myocardial infarction diffuse hemorrhage, and microscopic analysis revealed vascular damage microembolization area. In conclusion, to small artery contribute pathogenesis following...
Endothelium-dependent vasodilation is impaired in patients with congestive heart failure. For vascular endothelium, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) one of the most potent and specific factors, which acts protectively against endothelial dysfunction. HGF production downregulated by angiotensin II (Ang II) vitro. We hypothesized that as result increased Ang failure, if so, should be restored angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I). studied 16 failure caused previous anterior myocardial...
Although stents reduce the rate of vessel restenosis, in-stent restenosis is a recognized clinical problem and it appears that patients positive for allergic patch-test reactions to stent components nickel molybdenum have increased rates it. A patient with angina pectoris had repeated episodes after implantation histological examination demonstrated granulation tissue eosinophil infiltration in restenotic lesion coronary artery.
