Superficial Femoral Artery Rupture "Bailed Out" Using Novel Design of Supera Stent.

Peripheral artery disease is a condition that occurs due to narrowing or occlusion of arterial lumen usually secondary to atherosclerosis. Endovascular treatments are minimally invasive procedures that have become popular for recanalization of such calcified/sclerosed arteries. However, heavily calcified arteries make these procedures challenging and are more prone to complications like balloon rupture and bleeding.

CT chest analysis of 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia: An Indian perspective.

Context: Since its outbreak, the COVID-19 pneumonia pandemic is rapidly spreading across India; although computed tomography of chest (CT chest) is not recommended as a screening tool, there is a rapid surge in the CT chest performed in suspected cases. We should be aware of the imaging features among the Indian population.

Aim: To analyze the CT chest features in Indian COVID-19 patients.

Laparoscopic management of celiac artery compression syndrome: A case report.

Introduction: Celiac artery compression syndrome is a rare disorder found mainly in young females. It many a times goes undiagnosed as the symptoms are non-specific and varied.

Presentation Of The Case: We present a case of celiac artery compression syndrome in a young female where laparoscopic median arcuate ligament release with celiac ganglionectomy was effective in relieving the symptoms.

Unmasking the culprit: MAPCA masquerading as RV failure in post surgical correction of TOF.

Pulmonary regurgitation and right ventricular dilatation are major determinants of long-term follow up of surgically corrected tetralogy of Fallot. Occasionally, there are undiagnosed associated anomalies, which can exaggerate pulmonary regurgitation. The present report describes long-term effect of major aorto pulmonary collateral on right ventricular volume also a result of successful intervention.

Transjugular renal biopsy in a case of nephrotic syndrome with extrahepatic portal venous obstruction.

Renal biopsy in patients with nephrotic syndrome helps to establish the pathological diagnosis and subsequent treatment. In certain circumstances, biopsies are difficult to obtain because of the risk of bleeding. We report a case where renal biopsy was obtained through the transjugular route in a patient who had nephrotic syndrome with extrahepatic portal venous obstruction.

Treatment of acute lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage by superselective transcatheter embolization.

Aim: To evaluate the technical feasibility, success of hemostasis and complications of transcatheter embolization in the treatment of acute lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding.

Methods: Retrospective review of 63 patients with acute lower GI bleed who had undergone transcatheter selective embolization of mesenteric arteries over a two-year period. Embolization was carried out only if the arteria recta leading to the bleed could be successfully catheterized (n=52).

Percutaneous retrieval of misplaced intravascular foreign objects with the Dormia basket: an effective solution.

Purpose: We report our experience of the retrieval of intravascular foreign body objects by the percutaneous use of the Gemini Dormia basket.

Methods: Over a period of 2 years we attempted the percutaneous removal of intravascular foreign bodies in 26 patients. Twenty-six foreign bodies were removed: 8 intravascular stents, 4 embolization coils, 9 guidewires, 1 pacemaker lead, and 4 catheter fragments.

Transjugular liver biopsy--experience in fifty patients.

Objective: We evaluated the safety, adequacy, clinical impact and cost of transjugular liver biopsies performed at our institution.

Methods: Eighty-four biopsies performed in 50 consecutive patients with coagulopathy (INR >1.4; n=20), thrombocytopenia (platelet count <75,000/cmm; n=17), ascites (n=10), or coagulopathy and thrombocytopenia (n=3) from April 1999 to July 2002 were analyzed.

Endoscopic and radiological appraisal of gastric varices.

Of 104 patients with portal hypertension who were subjected to oesophageal variceal sclerotherapy, gastric varices were seen in 81 (78 per cent) at endoscopy and 69 (74 per cent) at splenoportography. In 50 (48 per cent) patients gastric varices were seen at the initial endoscopic examination and in 31 they developed during follow-up at intervals varying from 1 to 56 weeks. Gastric varices were seen significantly more often along the lesser curvature than in the gastric fundus and the left gastric vein was the main feeding vessel in 75 per cent of cases.

Antipyrine clearance: prognostic marker for obstructive jaundice.

A prospective study was undertaken to determine prognostic markers for patients with obstructive jaundice. Along with routine liver function tests, antipyrine clearance was determined in 20 patients. Four patients died after basal investigations.

Deflation of the 'obstinate' Foley's urinary catheter balloon: a new technique.

We have successfully deflated "obstinate" Foley's urinary catheter balloons in 15 cases in the last six months with the help of a simple bedside procedure using an angiographic guide-wire.
