In situ reconstruction of ruptured mycotic iliac artery aneurysm with autologous fascial-peritoneal tissue: a case report and literature review.

Background: Infectious aneurysms are rare in clinic with poor therapeutic outcomes. When artery rupture occurs, the disease tends to progress resulting in a high mortality, and there remains no ideal treatment.

Case Presentation: We report a case of rupture of infectious iliac artery pseudoaneurysm, who was assigned to receive artery reconstruction with autologous fascial-peritoneal tissue and obtained satisfied short-term outcome.

Endovascular Aneurysm Treatment with the Numen Coil Embolization System: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Open-Label Multicenter Noninferiority Trial in China.

Objective: We investigated the safety and efficacy of the Numen coil compared with the Axium coil in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

Methods: Because CATCH (Coil Application Trial in China) is a prospective randomized controlled open-label noninferiority trial conducted in 10 centers across China, patients who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomized 1:1 to either a test group (Numen) or a control group (Axium). The primary outcome was based on successful aneurysm occlusion at 6 months follow-up, whereas secondary outcomes included technical success, the recanalization and retreatment rates, and the rate of serious adverse events (SAEs) at 6 months and 12 months follow-up.

Pooled-analysis of efficacy and safety of minimally invasive versus standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Background: This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (MPCNL) versus standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy in patients with renal and upper ureteric stones.

Methods: We conducted a pooled analysis on randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The eligible RCTs were selected from the following databases: MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library.

Guidance of Venous Stent Implantation after Catheter-directed Thrombosis in Patients with Acute Left Lower Extremity Deep Venous Thrombosis based on Pressure Gradient Differences between the Iliac Vein and Inferior Vena Cava: A Single-center Retrospective Study.

Background: Iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) can lead to acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Endovascular venous stenting has become a preferred treatment for IVCS. In this article, we guide stent implantation by the pressure gradient of iliac vein and inferior vena cava.

Popliteal Vein Puncture Technique Based on Bony Landmark Positioning in Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis of Deep Venous Thrombosis: A Retrospective Review.

Background: Catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) is an effective method for the treatment of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). The most widely used puncture technique involves the popliteal vein of the affected leg. We introduce a new puncture technique based on bony landmark positioning.

Effects of repeated high dosage of chloral hydrate and pentobarbital sodium anesthesia on hepatocellular system in rats.

This study aims to investigate the possible effects of repeated high dosage of chloral hydrate and pentobarbital sodium anesthesia on hepatocellular system in rats. Thirty Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (group A), chloral hydrate group (group B) and pentobarbital sodium group (group C). Antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione s transferase (GST) and catalase (CAT) activities and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) level as well as serum biochemical parameters alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and total bilirubin (T-BIL) were determined.
