Radiographics

September 2017

From the Department of Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine (D.D., U.K.B., S.E.M.), Division of Plastic Surgery (A.J.N.), and Department of Surgery (D.M.S.), University of Maryland Medical Center, R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, 22 S Greene St, Baltimore, MD 21201; Department of Radiology, The George Washington Hospital, Washington, DC (N.T.); School of Dental Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa (M.D.L.); and Department of Diagnostic Radiology, University of Miami Leonard Miller School of Medicine and Jackson Memorial Hospital & Ryder Trauma Center, Miami, Fla (F.M.).

After the nasal bones, the mandible is the second most common site of facial fractures, and mandibular fractures frequently require open reduction. In the trauma injury setting, multidetector computed tomography (CT) has become the cornerstone imaging modality for determining the most appropriate treatment management, fixation method, and surgical approach. Multidetector CT is also used to assess the adequacy of the reduction and evaluate potential complications in the postoperative period.

Objectives: The authors' current understanding of the phenomenon of significant and sustained decrease in arterial pressure following liver graft reperfusion (postreperfusion syndrome [PRS]), is derived from relatively small observational reports, and no large scale analysis of PRS exists up to date. This study investigated its incidence, risk factors, temporal course of hemodynamic recovery, and its impact on functional graft outcome.

Design: Retrospective observational study of 1,024 electronic records of orthotopic liver transplant recipients.

Objectives: Resection of renal cell carcinomas (RCC) with tumor thrombus invasion into the inferior vena cava (IVC) is associated with significant perioperative morbidity and mortality. This study examined the intra- and inter-departmental collaboration among cardiac, liver transplantation, and urologic surgeons and anesthesiologists in caring for these patients.

Design: After IRB approval, medical records of patients who underwent resection of RCC tumor thrombus level III and IV, from 1997 to 2010 in this institution, were reviewed.
