Electrocoagulation-free strategy in minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass with hybrid revascularisation - a case report.
J Cardiothorac Surg
January 2025
Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Deutsches Herzzentrum der Charité (DHZC), Augustenburger Platz 1, 13353, Berlin, Germany.
Background: Hybrid coronary revascularisation benefits patients with multivessel disease, as it amalgamates the minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) procedure and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We present a 63-year-old female with triple-vessel coronary artery disease including marked ostial stenosis of the left main coronary artery, as well as moderate stenosis of the right coronary artery. The risk of death following heart surgery (EuroSCORE II) is 4.

Background: People with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) have a 20-fold higher risk of developing trigeminal neuralgia compared to the general population. Treating trigeminal neuralgia in these patients is particularly challenging due to reduced tolerance and increased side effects from medications. When no neurovascular conflict exist, percutaneous treatments are usually the first option after drug therapy.

Purpose: The location characteristic of the lumbar 3 sympathetic trunk under Computed Tomography (CT) was discovered through 106 cases, imaging analysis after successful lumbar 3 sympathetic radiofrequency thermocoagulation operations serving the clinic and reducing the operation time.
Methods: There are 113 patients underwent bilateral L3 lumbar sympathetic thermal radiofrequency procedures in our hospital from January 2017 to January 2021, with 106 cases of successful procedure. Four operation image distances were measured: 1.

Article Synopsis
- * Among 59 patients, results indicated that muscle fat changes, evaluated through MRI, correlated significantly with pain levels and disability scores at various time points post-procedure.
- * The findings suggest that these fatty changes adversely affect recovery, highlighting the need to consider them in treatment planning and pointing to the potential for further research on this topic.
Comparative study of CT-guided radiofrequency and alcohol ablation in the treatment of primary hyperhidrosis.

Pain Medicine Department, Ningbo Rehabilition Hospital, Ningbo, China.
Objective: This study compared the efficacy and complications of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation with anhydrous alcohol ablation of sympathetic nerves in treating hyperhidrosis of the head and palms.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 54 patients with primary hyperhidrosis in our department from June 2018 to June 2021, divided into a radiofrequency ablation group (30 cases) and an anhydrous alcohol ablation group (24 cases). Treatment outcomes were compared by analyzing the number of CT scans, effectiveness, and complications.
