The delivery of the rotational atherectomy burr can sometimes be hindered in distal calcified lesions complicated by proximal vessel tortuosity or other obstacles. This problem may result procedural failure fatal complications, including coronary perforation, entrapment, driveshaft fracture. To prevent these catastrophic outcomes and ensure successful delivery, we introduce DELIVER (Deep Engagement guide catheter 5-F chiLd-guIde for deliVEry subsequent Rotational atherectomy) technique....
Study Design. Compression onset rate, anatomic aspects, and morphologic neurophysiologic effects in spinal nerve roots were studied a root compression model pigs. Objectives. To analyze the rate by measuring gradual reduction of inner diameter constrictor, motor conduction velocity electromyography, changes light microscopy, gross vascular anatomy dissection ink injections, respectively, for experimental chronic compression. Summary Background Data. Chronic is recognized to be related back...
Transarticular screw fixation has shown increased stability compared with other posterior stabilization techniques. However, there have been few reports on vertebral artery injury related to the insertion. The current study measured parameters of pedicle and groove axis clarified accuracy safety transarticular fixation. Direct measurements were taken from 98 dry vertebrae. width height measured. mediolateral anteroposterior dimensions also Forty-one percent had asymmetry. In 20% specimens,...
Background:The results of previous clinical trials on the effects ezetimibe-statin combination therapy atherosclerosis are inconsistent, and anti-atherosclerotic effect ezetimibe remains controversial.
Purpose: To describe the feasibility of balloon angioplasty using a long for chronic femoropopliteal occlusions by evaluating angiographic dissection patterns optimization outcomes in angioplasty. Methods: A retrospective, single-center analysis examined 101 symptomatic patients (mean age 75.6±9.9 years; 65 men) with single de novo occlusive lesions treated between August 2012 and October 2016. The were classified into 2 groups comparison patterns: 51 balloons (L-BA; defined as ≥220 mm...
An anatomic study of lumbar nerve root lesions in the foraminal zone was performed on 35 cadavers. Two morphologic abnormalities roots intervertebral foramen were found. The first an abnormal transverse course roots. second indentation dorsal ganglia caused by compression superior articular facet, degenerative bulging discs, or both. incidence dependent location age. For details, at L5 level, located proximal part neuroforamen had highest incidence, and extraforaminally have lowest...
Study Design. This study is a prospective, clinical assessing the efficacy of selective decompression responsible level in two-level stenosis accordance with neurologic findings defined by gait load test, and functional diagnosis based on nerve root block. Objective. To clarify features regarding for symptoms, neurogenic intermittent claudication, outcome decompression. Summary Background Data. Experimental studies have indicated that double-level compression cauda equina induces more severe...
To describe the feasibility and safety of an anterolateral popliteal puncture technique as a retrograde access to chronic total occlusions (CTOs) in femoropopliteal segment.Twenty consecutive patients (mean age 75.1±10.9 years; 13 women) with symptomatic occlusive disease underwent endovascular therapy via using technique. With patient supine, P3 segment artery was accessed sheathless intended provide minimally invasive access. Subsequent wire rendezvous CTO, antegrade guidewire advanced...
Study Design A new model for controlled, graded compression of the dog cauda equina was developed using lumbar spine. The defined regarding macroscopic, microscopic, and vascular anatomy accuracy in pressure transmission. Objectives study performed to develop a that would allow acute, chronic, delayed compression. Summary Background Data There has been an increasing interest reactions spinal nerve roots mechanical deformation. previously used models have had limitations duration onset...
A comparative study regarding the clinical outcome of 2-different surgical procedures for patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM).To describe anatomic basis a segmental partial laminectomy (SPL) treatment and to compare traditional C3 C7 expansive open-door laminoplasty (ELAP).Laminoplasty has been widely accepted CSM. However, some disadvantages have also recognized. To resolve these problems, SPL was performed. No previous studies reported this procedure.A total 13 human...
There are few studies of the therapeutic effects long-term corset wearing in patients with chronic low back pain. The aim this study was to evaluate on pain and examine myoelectrical activities paravertebral muscles. Forty subjects were enrolled randomly divided into two groups: a group corsets for 6 months (CW) not (NW). treatment measured using Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score. Muscle endurance evaluated during Biering-Sorensen test (S-test), degree muscle fatigue by change...
