Effect of clinician's experience and expertise on the inter- and intra-observer reliability of hip migration index in children with cerebral palsy: A STROBE-compliant retrospective study.

Few studies have investigated the reliability of Reimers' hip migration percentage (RMP) in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Most studies on the topic reflected rating results of physician with a similar level of experience from the same expertise. This study aimed to determine the effect of clinician's experience and expertise on the intra-and inter-observer reliability of RMP.

Current role of laser angioplasty of restenotic coronary stents.

Treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR) with conventional percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) causes significant recurrent neointimal tissue growth in 30-85%. Therefore, laser ablation of intrastent neointimal hyperplasia before balloon dilation can be an attractive alternative. However, the long-term outcomes of such treatment have not been studied thoroughly enough.

Femoral pseudoaneurysm due to diagnostic or interventional angiographic procedures.

The authors investigated the incidence of, diagnostic methods for, and treatment strategies for iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms in their hospital and compared the results with those in the literature. The hospital records of 25,273 patients who had coronary or peripheral angiography and angioplasty in Sani Konukoglu Medical Center from September 1997 to December 2002 were collected retrospectively. All the complications were detected and femoral pseudoaneurysm cases were selected.

Management of 28 consecutive iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms with ultrasound-guided compression.

We attempted to evaluate nonsurgical methods of treating postcatheterization iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms at our hospital and compared the results with those in the literature. The hospital records of 25 273 patients who underwent femoral catheterization at our institution from September 1997 to December 2002 were collected retrospectively. All complications were detected and femoral pseudoaneurysm cases were selected.
