- A multicenter study in Japan evaluated the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, as it hasn't been fully approved in the country.
- The study involved 485 elderly patients and found no serious adverse events, with cement leakage occurring in 35.7% and new fractures in 18.6% of cases, indicating these rates were comparable to balloon kyphoplasty (BKP).
- PVP significantly improved pain levels and helped restore walking ability in many patients, demonstrating it as a safe and effective treatment option for the elderly.
Objectives: Isolated superior mesenteric arterial dissection (ISMAD) is an uncommon type of arterial dissection and treated with surgery, stenting, or conservative management. This study aimed to evaluate the criteria for conservative therapy for ISMAD patients based on imaging findings.
Methods: Eighteen consecutive ISMAD patients without peritoneal irritation at onset were retrospectively studied.
