Occlusion Type, Number of Recanalization Passages and Dose Program Determine Radiation Dose in Endovascular Stroke Thrombectomy.

Purpose: Identification of independent treatment factors associated with high radiation exposure during endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EMT) in acute ischemic stroke.

Methods: This retrospective analysis included all patients treated by means of EMT during the 2‑year period 2017-2018 in a comprehensive stroke center. The EMT were performed by four internal and three external certified neuroradiologists in a clinic overlapping on call system.

One hundred consecutive kidney transplantations with simultaneous ipsilateral nephrectomy in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

Purpose: Surgical management of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in patients awaiting renal transplantation is a challenging task.

Methods: From 1998 to 2009, a total of 100 consecutive renal transplantations with simultaneous unilateral nephrectomy were performed in 59 men and 41 women with ADPKD and end-stage renal failure. About 38% received kidney allografts from living donors.
