Background The usefulness of preprocedural nutritional status to stratify prognosis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation has been evaluated; however, the studies conducted so far have relatively small and/or focused on a single index. This study sought assess prevalence and prognostic impact malnutrition in patients with severe stenosis undergoing implantation. Methods Results We applied Controlling Nutritional Status score, Geriatric Risk Index, Prognostic Index 1040 consecutive...
In the Asian cohort, data are limited on risk for coronary obstruction due to sinus of Valsalva (SOV) sequestration in redo transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures.
For pleurodesis, talc administered by poudrage is usually insufflated blindly from a single port of entry using the standard method with small-diameter rigid thoracoscope. In order to visually perform port, we introduced catheter technique through flexi-rigid Patients uncontrolled and symptomatic pleural effusion requiring pleurodesis underwent thoracoscopy under local anesthesia for poudrage. A dedicated 2.1-mm inner diameter was connected atomizer inserted working channel thoracoscope...
Malignant pleural effusions are commonly treated with tube drainage followed by chemical pleurodesis to maintain the patient's quality of life. While talc is now accepted be a worldwide gold-standard sclerosing agent for treating malignant effusion, it not yet approved in Japan. Instead, many patients administered OK-432 pleurodesis, which carries risk complications such as high-grade fever, chest pain, anaphylactic shock, interstitial pneumonia and acute renal failure. To assess efficacy...
Background: Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) usually requires contrast medium during the procedure. However, patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at high risk of developing nephropathy. This study aimed to assess safety and feasibility zero-contrast LAAC in CKD.
A 69-year-old man visited our hospital due to an abnormal shadow on a chest X-ray. Chest CT showed mass in his left lower lobe accompanied by infiltrative the right upper lobe. Thorough examination led diagnosis of pulmonary squamous cell lung carcinoma, stage IIIB (T3N2M0). Combination treatment with chemotherapy and programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) inhibitor was started, leading partial response. However, pre-existing progressed during maintenance PD-1 inhibitor, sputum culture revealed...
Both co-trimoxazole and pentamidine are used for the treatment of pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) known to cause hypoglycemia as an adverse drug reaction. Here, we describe a rare case late-diagnosed female patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) who developed first hypoglycemic attack effect co-trimoxazole, followed by second pentamidine. Physicians caring patients AIDS PCP should be aware possible in many risk factors.
A rare case of a 2-year-old girl with encephalocele is reported. She was admitted at birth to the department pediatric surgery because hydrocele and left buccal tumor. The tumor irradiated up 30 Gy under tentative diagnosis low malignant neurogenic V-P shunt operation performed for hydrocele. gradually enlarged postoperatively, resulting in facial asymmetry. An ulcer formed mucosa close contact ID. patient referred our deformity. size hen's egg had an irregular surface. Intraorally, it...
