Gastric necrosis and perforation following treatment of Dieulafoy's lesion with embolization of multiple gastric arteries: A case report.

Diagnosis, management, and treatment of Dieulafoy's lesion have been complicated since its first mention in 1884. With increased awareness over the decades, Dieulafoy's lesions are being managed differently based on the physician's expertise. Herein, we report a case of a 58-year-old female who was found to have a Dieulafoy's lesion on endoscopy, with her treatment complicated by gastric necrosis and perforation after multiple embolizations and limited surgical resection.

Expedient Endovascular Hemorrhage Control During Anterior Lumbar Spinal Exposure Allows Procedural Completion in Rescued Patients.

Objectives: To propose a contemporary management strategy for venous injury during anterior lumbar spinal exposure that incorporates endovascular treatment.

Methods: Vein injuries suffered by patients treated in a single practice were reviewed. A treatment algorithm based on these experiences was formulated.

Plasma Levels of Advanced Glycation End Products Are Related to the Clinical Presentation and Angiographic Severity of Symptomatic Lower Extremity Peripheral Arterial Disease.

Evidence implicates a role of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in the development of atherosclerosis. The present study examined the relationship between plasma levels of AGEs and the clinical and angiographic characteristics of patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD). A total of 40 consecutive patients with symptomatic lower extremity PAD undergoing invasive evaluation were enrolled.
