Retrieval of -Butyl Cyanoacrylate Cast Migrated to the Dorsalis Pedis and Posterior Tibial Artery During Embolization of the Deep Circumflex Iliac Artery Using the Stent Retriever Device: A Case Report.

This case highlights the innovative application of stent retriever devices for retrieving migrated NBCA casts, traditionally used for stroke management in peripheral arterial occlusions.

Ultrasonography Causes Agitation and Pain Leading to Hemodynamic Disturbance in Neonates: A Prospective Observational Study.

Background: Ultrasonography is widely used in neonatological practice and studies investigating the hemodynamic effects of various treatment protocols or clinical situations. On the other hand, pain causes changes in the cardiovascular system; so, in the case of ultrasonography leading to pain in neonates, it may cause hemodynamic alterations. In this prospective study, we evaluate whether ultrasonographic application causes pain and changes in the hemodynamic system.

Total patellectomy for patellar aneurysmal bone cyst.

Herein we report a case of patellar aneurysmal bone cyst of a 32-year-old female patient who was admitted to our outpatient clinic due to the swelling on her left knee. She was describing no trauma history but increasing pain and that the mass was expanding gradually by the time. Although it occurs rarely in patella, evaluation by radiographic and magnetic resonance images revealed that the mass was due to the patellar aneurysmal bone cyst, which also destructed the surface of the joint.
