Background and Purpose— Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a secretory glycoprotein which belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor family. Various mechanisms have been suggested by calcification might alter atherosclerotic plaque stability, but significance of this intimal controversial. High concentrations OPG associated with presence vascular cardiovascular diseases. This study was designed assess association between gene polymorphisms (TNFRSF11B), serum level, stability in patients carotid...
The object of this study was to investigate the potential role FGF23 on plaque stability in type 2 diabetic patients with internal carotid artery stenosis. In retrospective observational study, we analyzed serum level 361 stenosis undergoing endarterectomy and 598 controls without atherosclerosis. We found that median levels significantly higher than [67.7 (59.5–77.8) pg/mL 43.89 (37.5–50.4), P < 0.001] independently associated unstable [OR, 5,71 (95 % CI, 2.09–15.29]. have found, for first...
Warthin-like papillary carcinoma of the thyroid (WLT), a recently described entity, should be included among lymphocyterich lesions thyroid. The diffuse sclerosing variant (DSV), oxyphilic Hashimoto thyroiditis (OHT) and primary lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (PLT), FNA appearances which have many similarities, belong to same category.A case WLT occurred in 31-year-old female, who was admitted with 1.5-cm, nodular lesion thyroid; fine needle aspiration (FNA) yielded diagnosis carcinoma....
Aorto-esophageal fistula (AEF) is an uncommon but usually fatal disorder. Surgery with resection of aneurysm and esophagus, in situ reconstruction the descending aorta omental flap installation offers gold standard for reduction infections, it burdened by high intraoperative perioperative mortality rates. We report our experience a combined minimally invasive approach multi-stage treatment three cases aorto-esophageal caused thoracic rupture. In all patients, was treated endovascular aortic...
Several studies indicate that in young patients (less than 21 years of age at the time diagnosis), prognosis thyroid carcinoma (TC) is more favorable older patients. However, a radical treatment approach recommended children and adolescents due to higher prevalence local lymph-node involvement these cases. Since extent primary surgical closely related overall prognosis, preoperative diagnosis becomes essential management neoplasms
To evaluate the role of quantitative digital subtraction angiography (Q-DSA) with parametric color coding (PCC) in assessing patients type B chronic thoracic aortic dissection (TBCAD) during endovascular repair (TEVAR) procedures.A total 11 electively treated our Department for a TBCAD were retrospectively enrolled. All cases TEVAR false lumen aneurysm descending aorta. For (DSA) series post-processing, newly implemented PCC algorithm was used to turn consecutive two-dimensional images into...
This study investigated the long-term outcomes of patients treated with open surgical repair for complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (c-AAAs). A total 119 c-AAAs undergoing between January 2010 and June 2016 in a high-volume center were included. The imaging follow-up consisted yearly ultrasound examinations 5-year computed tomography angiography. At median 76 months (IQR 38 months), forty-three deaths (37%) three (2.5%) aortic-related observed. Long-term chronic renal decline was observed...
Background : The present paper describes a training method with objective evaluation to enhance video‐assisted surgical skills in subfascial endoscopic perforator veins surgery (SEPS). Training was scheduled during 2‐day intensive course. Methods Hands‐on exercises were performed (i) on simulator assess whether specific helpful attainment of skills; (ii) known animal model that uses the swine abdominal wall and which allows practice dissection (PV) using appropriate instrumentation an...
To address the potential risk of acute coronary syndrome, current clinical guidelines on artery diseases recommend revascularization in significant and flow-limiting lesions, but emerging data depict vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques as possibly at adverse cardiac events, compared to fibroatheromous or calcific [...].
