Giant Infected Pseudoaneurysms of Left Anterior Descending Artery After Percutaneous Intervention: A Fatal Complication.

Infected coronary aneurysms are rare in clinical practice and represent a catastrophic complication following percutaneous coronary interventions. A high index of suspicion is imperative in patients presenting with fever a few weeks after percutaneous coronary intervention. Early diagnosis and surgical repair are key to mitigating the morbidity and mortality associated with it.

Assessment of post-pyeloplasty renal drainage in antenatally detected hydronephrosis by Tc-L, L-Ethylenedicysteine renal scintigraphy: the importance of delayed imaging.

Objective: Diuretic renal scintigraphy is important in diagnosing pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) in antenatally detected hydronephrotic (ANH) kidneys. Early-phase dynamic renal scintigraphy has several pitfalls contributing to the false interpretation of obstructed drainage, especially after pyeloplasty. This study explores the utility of delayed imaging in Tc-L,L-Ethylenedicysteine (EC) diuretic renal scintigraphy to assess post-pyeloplasty renal drainage in ANH.

A prospective-randomized placebo-controlled trial comparing the effects of nebulized dexmedetomidine v/s dexmedetomidine-lignocaine mixture on intraoperative hemodynamics and surgical field quality in patients undergoing endoscopic transnasal transsphenoidal pituitary tumor surgery.

Background: During transnasal transsphenoidal pituitary surgery (TNTSS), the primary objective is to maintain stable hemodynamics while ensuring ideal surgical conditions. This study aimed to investigate the effect of nebulized dexmedetomidine on hemodynamic parameters and the quality of the surgical field during TNTSS.

Methods: Seventy-five patients scheduled for TNTSS were randomized into three groups of 25 each and received preoperative nebulization with 5 mL of nebulizing fluid consisting of 1.
