Differences in Management and Outcomes in Atraumatic Splenic Rupture Compared to Traumatic Injury Following Blunt Abdominal Trauma.

: To evaluate the differences in treatment and outcomes between traumatic and atraumatic splenic lacerations. : This retrospective study included all patients with a diagnosis of splenic lacerations confirmed by computed tomography that presented from 01/2010 to 03/2023 at one tertiary hospital. The exclusion criteria included missing image data and death in the first 24 h due to extensive trauma.

Technical success and associated economic implications of conventional re-entry devices in subintimal recanalization of femoro-popliteal chronic total occlusions.

Purpose: Re-entry devices contribute to the high success rate of subintimal recanalization of chronic total occlusions (CTO). However, to date, there are no studies comparing the available conventional re-entry devices concerning the impact of their technical success on economic aspects, as these devices differ greatly in their acquisition costs. This prospective observational study intends to contribute to this question.

Non-operative management of blunt splenic trauma: The role of splenic artery embolization depending on the severity of parenchymal injury.

Purpose: To address the disagreement about the need for splenic artery embolization (SAE) in medium grade blunt splenic trauma this retrospective study evaluates the clinical outcome of non-operative management (NOM) and the possible impact of a more liberal indication for primary SAE.

Method: From 01/2010 to 12/2019 186 patients presented with splenic injury on computed tomography (CT) after blunt abdominal trauma. The extent of splenic injuries according to Marmery, vascular pathologies, active bleeding as well as clinical and laboratory parameters were recorded and analyzed with regard to the success rates of NOM and SAE.

Targeted tibio-peroneal re-entry during subintimal revascularization using the Outback® catheter.

Background: Re-entry devices are used regularly in subintimal recanalization of chronic occlusions of the iliac and femoro-popliteal arteries and significantly contribute to the high success rate of these interventions. However, the use in tibio-peroneal arteries has only been described in few cases so far. The present work is a retrospective evaluation of the Outback® re-entry device for gaining targeted true lumen access at the level of the tibio-peroneal arteries.
