Impact of adjuvant amniotic membrane transplantation in infectious ulcerative keratitis.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of cryopreserved human amniotic membrane transplantation (hAMT) in patients with infectious ulcerative keratitis.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study based on medical records of patients who underwent hAMT procedure over a 2-year period (2020-2021) was conducted at Ege University Hospital, Turkey. Cryopreserved hAM was used.

Comparison of endoscopic ultrasound-guided coil deployment with and without cyanoacrylate injection for gastric varices.

Background And Study Aims: Gastric variceal bleeding is more severe than esophageal variceal bleeding, and is associated with higher rebleeding and mortality rates. The benefits of endoscopic ultrasound-guided coil deployment alone for treating gastric varices, compared with concomitant cyanoacrylate injection, remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the outcomes of both modalities.

Rescue of Severely Twice-Kinked Catheter During Transradial Coronary Intervention Using Balloon Technique.

Transradial (TR) approach demonstrates a significant reduction in vascular complication rates when compared with femoral approach. Nevertheless, minor kinking during this approach is not rare and in most of time can be resolved with a gentle opposite rotation maneuver. Sometimes a kinking is more severe and results in catheter entrapment in narrow radial or brachial artery.
