Endovascular Management of Mycotic Pseudoaneurysm After Pancreas Transplantation: Case Report and Literature Review.

Introduction: Mycotic pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of pancreas transplantation. Successful management relies on early diagnosis and expedient treatment comprising surgery and antibiotics. While the standard of care in recipients of pancreatic transplants is open repair of pseudoaneurysm with or without excision of the allograft, endovascular management has been reported.

Dual kidney transplant techniques: A systematic review.

Background: Dual kidney transplantation (DKT) was developed to improve outcomes from transplantation of extended criteria donors (ECD). This study examined which surgical techniques have been reported for DKT and whether any technique had superior patient and graft survival.

Method: Electronic databases were searched for published studies mapping to MESH terms: "kidney or renal" AND "transplan*" AND "dual or double.

Systematic review of actual 10-year survival following resection for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: Hepatic resection is a potentially curative therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but recurrence of disease is very common. Few studies have reported 10-year actual survival rates following hepatic resection; instead, most have used actuarial measures based on the Kaplan-Meier method. This systematic review aims to document 10-year actual survival rates and to identify factors significant in determining prognosis.
