Acute inversion injury of the ankle without radiological abnormalities: assessment with high-field MR imaging and correlation of findings with clinical outcome.

Background: Acute inversion injuries of the ankle are the most common sports accidents, accounting for approximately 10% of emergency room admissions. In up to 85%, an injury of the lateral collateral ligaments is observed. Classically, the assessment of these injuries has relied on clinical examination and radiographs, including stress views.

Laser ablation of liver metastases from colorectal cancer with MR thermometry: 5-year survival.

Purpose: To determine technical success, technique effectiveness, complications, and survival after laser ablation of liver metastases from colorectal cancer.

Materials And Methods: Eighty-seven consecutive patients (65 men and 22 women; mean age, 62.8 years) with 180 liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma were included between 1998 and 2005.

Percutaneous treatment of infrarenal aortic aneurysm with a polytetrafluoroethylene-covered nitinol stent-graft via a 10-F introducer sheath.

Two patients with dissecting (n = 1) and saccular (n = 1) aneurysms of the infrarenal abdominal aorta with very narrow proximal and distal aortic necks underwent treatment with percutaneous implantation of self-expandable polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered nitinol stent-grafts on an off-label basis. The stent-grafts had maximum diameters of 13.5 mm and were deployed via 10-F introducer sheaths.
