Azole-Induced Myositis after Combined Lung-Liver Transplantation.

Lung transplant recipients experience a high rate of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis infections, for which voriconazole is the treatment of choice. We report a patient who developed voriconazole-induced myositis that relapsed after one dose of isavuconazole. Our patient was a 38-year-old man who received a single sequential lung transplantation and liver transplantation because of end-stage cystic fibrosis.

Multicenter, Randomized Trial of Conventional Balloon Angioplasty versus Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon Angioplasty for the Treatment of Dysfunctioning Autologous Dialysis Fistulae.

Purpose: To investigate the potential added value of paclitaxel-coated balloon (PCB) angioplasty to reduce fistula dysfunction related to recurrent stenoses in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Materials And Methods: A prospective, randomized study was conducted in 3 dialysis referral centers. From January 2013 to October 2015, 64 patients (22 female, 42 male) with dysfunctional autologous dialysis fistulae were randomized to undergo conventional percutaneous balloon angioplasty (n = 31) or PCB angioplasty (n = 33).

Long-term clinical and radiological outcome of endovascular embolization of pancreatitis-related pseudoaneurysms.

Background Long-term outcome after embolization of pancreatitis-induced pseudoaneurysm is not yet determined. Purpose To assess the long-term efficacy and patients' overall survival after embolization of pancreatitis-induced pseudoaneurysm. Material and Methods Patients referred for endovascular treatment of a pancreatitis-induced pseudoaneurysm between January 1998 and January 2014 were analyzed.
