The use of dual and triple rule-out computerized tomography angiography by using diagnostic low-dose contrast material and radiation in acute chest pain.

Background: Triple rule-out computed tomography angiography (CTA) provides imaging of the coronary arteries, pulmonary arteries, and thoracic aorta filled with contrast material (CM) to exclude or diagnose the pathologies of these three systems. Although dual rule-out adapted to exclude aortic and pulmonary pathologies. Iodinated CM may result in contrast-induced nephropathy, which lengthens hospital stay.

Retrieval of -Butyl Cyanoacrylate Cast Migrated to the Dorsalis Pedis and Posterior Tibial Artery During Embolization of the Deep Circumflex Iliac Artery Using the Stent Retriever Device: A Case Report.

This case highlights the innovative application of stent retriever devices for retrieving migrated NBCA casts, traditionally used for stroke management in peripheral arterial occlusions. This adaptation offers clinicians a new, effective tool for managing embolization complications, such as unintended material migration that can cause severe ischemia. Implementing this technique could change clinical practice by providing a reliable method to swiftly address and resolve potentially limb-threatening situations, thereby improving patient outcomes and procedural safety.

A new ventricular index based on coronal brain magnetic resonance images in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a new quantitative index for the diagnosis of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at İstanbul University Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty between January 2016 and November 2022. A total of 31 patients diagnosed with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus were included in the study group and 48 patients were included in the control group.

Supraorbital ethmoid cells (SOECs), anterior ethmoid artery notch and ethmoid roof relation in PNSCT.

Objectives: We investigated supraorbital ethmoid cell (SOEC) presence and types in paranasal sinus computed tomography (PNSCT).

Methods: The PNSCT images of 188 adult patients (93 males and 95 females) were evaluated as SOEC group (n = 87 sides), and non-SOEC group (n = 289 sides, control). In both groups, anterior ethmoid artery (AEA) notch-ethmoid roof distance and presence of AEA canal were evaluated.

Deficits in peripheric and central olfactory measurements in smokers: evaluated by cranial MRI.

Objectives: Cigarette smoking remains a serious health problem all over the world. We investigated the peripheral and central olfactory pathways in young male smokers to determine whether there is a relationship between the amount of cigarettes smoked and duration of smoking and the dimensions of the olfactory areas.

Methods: In this retrospective study, cranial Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images of adult male smokers aged ≤ 40 years (n = 51) and 50 healthy male adults were analyzed.

Relation between optic and carotid canals with sphenoid sinus in patients with communicant hydrocephalus: a computed tomography evaluation study.

Background: There are neuro-ophthalmologic findings in patients with communicant hydrocephalus (CH).

Purpose: To investigate the relationships of the optic canal and carotid canal classifications at sphenoid sinus and anterior clinoid process (ACP) pneumatization in patients with CH.

Material And Methods: In this multicentric retrospective cross-sectional study, the cranial computed tomography (CT) images of 38 patients with CH (20 men, 18 women) and 40 controls (25 men, 15 women) were included.

Long-term results of endovascular treatment for arteriovenous dialysis access thrombosis in 143 patients: A single center experience.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the long-term patency duration and rate of thrombosis of autologous arteriovenous fistulas and synthetic grafts treated with endovascular methods in a large patient population.

Methods: A total of 144 arteriovenous accesses (37 radiocephalic, 51 brachiobasilic, 41 brachiocephalic, and 15 femorofemoral) from 143 patients were included in the study. A total of 304 endovascular thrombolytic treatment procedures were performed for 94 (65%) arteriovenous fistula and 50 (35%) arteriovenous graft accesses.
