Background: Reports our experience for the first 50 cases of use of Supera stent for popliteal atherosclerotic lesions treatment.
Methods: This prospective single-arm trial enrolled the first 50 limbs (46 patients) treated in our center with a Supera stent for symptomatic atherosclerotic disease of the popliteal artery. Also, a follow-up of 36 months is reported.
Background: Statins have been reported to help prevent the development and the recurrence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). We conducted a prospective randomized clinical trial to compare the effects of rosuvastatin plus a low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), bemiparin, with conventional LMWH therapy in the treatment of DVT.
Patients And Methods: In total, 234 patients were randomized into two groups, 116 in the LMWH group and 118 in the statin plus LMWH group.
Pseudoaneurysm of the internal mammary artery is an unusual complication of wounds to the chest. We report a case of a 41-year-old man who sustained a stab chest wound and posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm of the internal mammary artery, resulting in hemomediastinum and hemothorax. The patient was successfully treated using emergency endovascular coil embolization.

Methods: During January 2012 we collected 504 IC protocols of different specialties. To calculate readability parameters the following criteria were assessed: number of words, syllables and phrases, syllables/word and word/phrase averages, Word correlation index, Flesch-Szigriszt index, Huerta Fernández index, Inflesz scale degree and the Gunning-Fog index.
Article Synopsis
- Surgical excision is the main treatment for carotid body tumors, but it has a high rate of postoperative complications, including serious issues like nerve dysfunction, stroke, and significant blood loss.
- To reduce blood loss and complications during surgery, embolization of the external carotid artery's feeding branches can be done before surgery, though it risks causing blockages in the brain.
- The text discusses a new intraoperative method using poloxamer 407, a unique polymer that changes states with temperature, to effectively cut off blood supply to carotid body tumors.
Patent false lumen after endovascular stent graft treatment of type B aortic dissection is a predictor for late death and retreatment. Between June 2008 and March 2010, five men with patent false lumen, due to a type B dissection previously treated with thoracic stent graft, underwent endovascular coiling treatment. Within a 30-day period, there were no deaths or major complications.
