Endovascular Recanalization of the Chronically Occluded Native Superficial Artery After Failed Bypass Graft: Midterm Results.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and outcomes of endovascular recanalization of chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) after failed surgical bypass graft.

Methods: Endovascular recanalization of SFA CTO was performed for 26 consecutive CLI patients with failed bypass grafts from 2016 to 2020. Patient demographics, bypass and lesion characteristics, procedural data, technical, and clinical outcomes were evaluated.

The Feasibility of Low-dose Chest CT Acquisition Protocol for the Imaging of COVID-19 Pneumonia.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of low-dose chest CT acquisition protocol for the imaging of COVID 19 disease or suspects of this disease in adults.

Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, the study group consisted of 141 patients who were imaged with low dose chest CT acquisition protocol. The control group consisted of 92 patients who were imaged with standard protocol.

Transhepatic Pharmacomechanical Thrombectomy of Symptomatic Acute Noncirrhotic, Nonmalignant Portomesenteric Venous Thrombosis: Midterm Results.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transhepatic pharmacomechanical thrombectomy of symptomatic acute portomesenteric venous thrombosis. Transhepatic pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (catheter-directed thrombolysis with mechanical thrombectomy) was performed in the treatment of nine patients with symptomatic acute noncirrhotic, nonmalignant porto-mesenteric venous thrombosis. The medical records, imaging examinations, technique of transhepatic pharmacomechanical thrombectomy, and clinical outcomes were reviewed.

The Prevalence of Open and Closed Posterior Superior Iliac Spine.

Aim: To determine the prevalence of open and closed posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) using lower abdominal computed tomography (CT) examinations.

Material And Methods: Eight hundred and fifty (M/F:464/386) adult patients who underwent lower abdominal CT between January 2018 and December 2018 were evaluated retrospectively. One radiologist reviewed CT images of patient pelvises to assess the presence of open and closed PSIS.

Role of acoustic radiation force-based elasticity imaging in endometrium pathologies.

Backround: Ultrasonography is difficult to distinguish between endometrial pathologies and often requires curettage. ARFI (Acoustic Radiation Force-Based Elasticity Imaging) is a new ultrasonography elastography method. Using ARFI, it is possible to obtain information about the likelihood of the tissue benign or malignant.
