May 2022
Article Synopsis
- Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disorder affecting connective tissues, and this study investigates the prevalence of osteitis in patients with SSc.
- The research included 48 patients, finding that 54.1% had osteitis under digital tip ulcers and symptoms often included pain, erythema, and warmth.
- The study concluded that digital tip ulcers are linked to osteitis in SSc, highlighting the high occurrence of complications and recommending specific antibiotic treatments.
Purpose: To demonstrate the effectiveness of endovascular treatment (EVT) with self-expandable bare stents for malignant superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) and to analyze predictive factors of EVT efficacy.
Methods: Retrospective review of the 164 patients with malignant SVCS treated with EVT in our hospital from August 1992 to December 2007 and followed until February 2009. Endovascular treatment includes angioplasty before and after stent placement.
