Endovascular Therapy of Ruptured Aneurysms on Moyamoya Collateral Vessels: Two Cases.

: Using two case reports of adult women with moyamoya disease presenting with intracranial hemorrhage from ruptured aneurysms on moyamoya collateral vessels, we aim to demonstrate the potential for effective endovascular treatment navigated by CT angiography, digital subtraction angiography, and flat panel CT. : A 45-year-old female patient with sudden onset of headache, followed by somnolency. CT scan showed a four-ventricle hematocephalus caused by a 27 × 31 × 17 mm hematoma located in the left basal ganglia.

Incarcerated left paraduodenal hernia case report and literature review.

Introduction: Left paraduodenal hernia is an internal herniation that develops due to anomalous fetal development. If incarcerated, it becomes an unusual cause of acute abdomen.

Case Report: This case report presents an uncommon case of a 39-year-old man with acute abdominal pain with vomiting.

An Expansible Aortic Ring in Aortic Root Remodeling: Exact Position, Pulsatility, Effectiveness, and Stability in Three-Dimensional CT Study.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess effectiveness, stability, position, and expansibility of an expansible aortic annuloplasty ring with computed tomography (CT).

Methods: Ten men (median age 51 years) scheduled for aortic root remodeling with implantation of external annuloplasty ring underwent contrast-enhanced CT of the aortic root preoperatively, postoperatively, and at a median of 21 months after operation. A reconstructed transverse double oblique view of the aortic base (AB) and of the new defined annuloplasty ring base (ARB; plane of the lower edge of the ring) in systole and diastole were obtained.

One-step supraclavicular approach to the treatment of Dysphagia lusoria.

A one-step supraclavicular approach for the surgical treatment of the aberrant right subclavian artery is described in a case of dysphagia lusoria in a 38-year-old female. The approach allows for safe division of the arteria lusoria and its re-anastomosis to the common carotid artery while the patient benefits from a mini-invasive extrathoracic procedure. doi: 10.

Magnetic resonance imaging in postprostatectomy radiotherapy planning.

Purpose: To investigate whether the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in prostate bed treatment planning could influence definition of the clinical target volume (CTV) and organs at risk.

Methods And Materials: A total of 21 consecutive patients referred for prostate bed radiotherapy were included in the present retrospective study. The CTV was delineated according to the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer recommendations on computed tomography (CT) and T(1)-weighted (T(1)w) and T(2)-weighted (T(2)w) MRI.

[A case report of endoleak type Ib and IIIa combination after endovascular subrenal aneurysm repair].

Authors describe a case report of complications and theirs solutions after endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair. There was symptomatic progression of aneurysmal sac due to endoleak type Ib in this patient 4 years after successful stentgraft treatment. Endovascular treatment was done with optimal effect, but aneurysm sac rupture had early become.

[Changes in target volumes definition by using MRI for prostate bed radiotherapy planning--preliminary results].

Backgrounds: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used quite routinely in radiotherapy treatment planning in the primary radiotherapy of prostate cancer as it provides more contrast imaging of soft tissues in the small pelvis than planning CT, thanks to which it allows more exact delineation of target volumes and thus the saving of organs at risk We tried to verify whether it is possible to use MRI by analogy in the planning of prostate bed radiotherapy.

Patients And Methods: Twentyone patients indicated for prostate bed radiotherapy were considered in this study. Here we present the preliminary results of 10 of them.

[Truncus coeliacus stenosis in duodenopancreatectomy].

Introduction: Patients with celiac axis stenosis are asymptomatic due to the rich collateral blood supply through superior mesenteric artery. Ligating and dividing gastroduodenal artery during pancreatoduodenectomy can cause ischemic threat especially to liver, less frequently stomach and spleen, or failure of anastomoses.

Case Report: The authors present a case of 27-year-old female who underwent duodenopancreatectomy for pseudopapillary tumour of the head of pancreas.

Liver, meconium, haemorrhage: the value of T1-weighted images in fetal MRI.

Background: Ultrafast T2-weighted (T2-W) MRI sequences are currently considered a routine technique for fetal MR imaging. Limited experience exists with fetal T1-weighted (T1-W) imaging techniques.

Objective: To determine MRI patterns of some fetal abdominal or haemorrhagic disorders with particular respect to the diagnostic value of T1-W images.

[Long-term outcomes of carotid endarterectomies].

The prevention of ischemic stroke by surgical means goes back half a century. Interventional treatment of significant carotid artery occlusive disease should be performed by the method that provides the least periprocedural risk and best durability while providing long-term freedom from stroke. The aim of this study was to analyzed the group of 108 patients following 130 carotid endarterectomies from the point of view of risk and clinical importance of restenosis and occlusion, and probability of recurrent ischemic stroke.

[Spontaneous rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm into the inferior vena cava--case report].

A 76-year-old man was admitted to the surgical department with acute abdominal pain and impaired sensation of the lower extremities. An aneurysm of the abdominal aorta (AAA) was diagnosed already in the past. There were no signs of cardiovascular failure.

[Treatment of internal carotid artery occlusion and the ocular ischemic syndrome].

The picture of severe ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS) drew attention to and investigations (sonography and carotid angiography) showed extensive atherosclerotic damage of vessels on more levels by a 46 year old patient with ischemic oculopathy, venous stasis retinopathy and neurological difficulties. The successful desobliteration of a. carotis interna adjusted the neurological difficulties of the patient and stabilized visual functions.

[Interventional procedures in patients after vascular reconstructive surgery of the lower extremities].

This study reports the results and complications of local thrombolysis therapy of recently occluded grafts manifested by acute ischemia in comparison with transluminal angioplasty of graft stenoses. Stenoses were diagnosed by means of ultrasound (asymptomatic patients) or manifested by claudications. The aim of our study is to emphasize the difference between efficacy of these two kinds of treatment and their difficulties.

[Experience with implantation of a permanent electrode for cardiac pacing directly through the subclavian vein in 2,309 patients].

Since April 1975 to the end of 1988 permanent cardiac stimulation was employed in 2,309 patients. The stimulating electrode was placed in the right ventricle in 2,258 patients and in the right atrium in 29 patients. Two electrodes were introduced in 22 patients one in the right ventricle and the other in the right atrium.

[Aortic stenoses and pulmonary hypertension].

Authors have been catheterized a total of 36 patients with isolated aortal stenosis. In 14 from them (38%), the mean pression value in pulmonar artery was ranged as over 25 torrs (3.33 kPa).
