Article Abstract
Experimental arterial occlusion was performed on eight dogs by means of inflatable and releasable balloons, in five of which a reliable and long lasting arterial occlusion was obtained. Three accidents occurred. One dog died when the liquid latex was emptied spontaneously from the balloon and the territory was embolized causing a severe general reaction. In two other dogs the emptying of the balloon, inflated with iodine, was followed by distal embolization of the empty latex balloon. The possibility of such accidents would be too great a risk for human application, but it now seems possible with the new glue, isobutyl-2-cyanoacrylate, to embolize vascular territories more accurately and more safely by means of inflatable and releasable balloons.

Endotracheal tube extubation force: adhesive tape versus endotracheal tube holder.
Respir Care
November 2011
Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan.
Background: Adhesive tape is commonly used to secure the endotracheal tube (ETT) in anesthesia and intensive-care settings.
Objective: To determine the force required to extubate when the ETT is secured with adhesive tape or commercially available ETT holders.
Methods: We orally intubated a simulation manikin with a standard 8.

Rev Stomatol Chir Maxillofac

There has been remarkable progress in the therapy of maxillofacial disorders, mainly as a result of the development of Djinjian and Merland's techniques for the exploration and selective embolization of the region supplied by the external carotid artery. These methods facilitate management of bone and skin angiomas and help to resolve problems of therapeutic arteriography for orofacial tumors. Two particularly hypervascular types of tumor: nasopharyngeal angiofibroma and carotid glomus tumor, as well as the hemorrhagic complications of facial epitheliomas, are conditions in which extremely useful data is obtained.

Surg Neurol
November 1979
A new catheter with a releasable balloon has been developed for the controllable embolization of intracranial vascular lesions located beyond many arterial curves such as the carotid siphon. Embolization is accomplished by introduction of the balloon to the lesion, followed by inflating the balloon with a polymerizable liquid. After this liquid sets to a gel, the catheter is twisted off to detach the balloon at a specially designed joint.

We consider our method with an inflatable and releasable balloon to be trustworthy and now applicable to the treatment of carotido-cavernous fistulas; it may not be possible in all cases to pass the ballon on through the fistula and inflate it in the cavernous sinus, but it seems to us so very important to preserve the carotid flow that we think that this should be achieved whenever possible. Certain arterial aneurysms could profit from this technique. We have purposely omitted all diagnostic application of the method which serbinenko has described in his article: selective opacifcation of certain branches of the internal carotid, deliberate temporary occlusion of certain branches to enable the amount of tolerance to be assessed.
