Risk and Benefit of STA/MCA Anastomoses
The advantage of EC/IC operation has not yet been proved unequivocally enough. We therefore attempted to analyze our cases in order to establish the possible benefit and risk of the operation. We compared the outcome of the operated and nonoperated patients with reference to the literature.
Supplementary Material for: Relapsing and Progressive Complications of Severe Hypertriglyceridemia: Effective Long-Term Treatment with Double Filtration Plasmapheresis
Background: Severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is associated with major complications such as acute or relapsing pancreatitis (AP) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Rapid elimination of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins (LP) with double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) without need for substitution has been found to be effective for the acute, short-term treatment of HTG-induced AP. Data on the long-term use of DFPP to prevent HTG-associated complications are scarce. Objectives: To evaluate the use and efficacy of regular DFPP treatment in clinical practice for preventing recurrence of HTG-associated complications in therapy refractory patients. Methods: Retrospective mu…
