Nasopharyngeal Coil Dislocation of an Embolized Internal Carotid Artery Pseudoaneurysm.

Objective: Severe epistaxis caused by ruptured intracranial pseudoaneurysms can be effectively treated by coil embolization. This is generally an efficient and safe procedure and provides sufficient protection recurrent epistaxis. However, complications such as aneurysm rupture, arterial dissection, bleeding, and emboli can occur.

A novel technique for patulous Eustachian tube augmentation.

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of a soft-tissue bulking agent comparing novel approaches of Eustachian tube (ET) augmentation procedures: transpalatinatal Eustachian tube augmentation in local and general anesthesia versus an augmentation with velotraction under general anesthesia. The clinical endpoint was the resolution of symptoms related to unilateral patulous Eustachian tube dysfunction (PETD) requiring no additional revision augmentations.

Study Design: Combined retrospective clinical chart review.

Management of Complex Facial Injuries: Cutting Traumas by Angle Grinders.

The use of angle grinders can lead to complex facial injuries. The most frequent sites affected are within the head and face region. Anatomical boundaries or structures are not respected by the high-speed disc of angle grinders, and thus, injuries can be mutilating, permanently disabling, or even lethal.

Experience from a real-life cohort: outcome of 606 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma following transarterial chemoembolization.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most lethal cancers. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) has been accepted as the standard care for intermediate stage disease.

Methods: In this study, we characterized 606 with HCC patients from Hannover Medical School treated with TACE.
