Background Patients with retinal vascular occlusion disease have an increased risk for ischemic stroke and share some risk factors with cerebrovascular disease. The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in subjects with retinal vascular occlusive disease and anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and to compare these data to an ischemic stroke group. Methods Prospective, observational single-center trial. Subjects with retinal artery occlusion (RAO), retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) were included. Patients with ischemic stroke (IS) from a previous observational trial were used as control. Investigation included …
Systemische fibrinolytische Therapie mit Urokinase bei Zentralarterienverschluss der Netzhaut
2005
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Systemic fibrinolysis has become an important therapeutical option in patients with thrombotic occlusion of coronary or pulmonary arteries. In view of the hemorrhagic risk systemic fibrinolytic therapy for retinal vessel occlusion has been discussed controversial. In the present case study results and complications of systemic fibrinolysis should be investigated in patients with central retinal artery occlusion. PATIENTS AND METHODS From 1995 to 2002 a case series of 19 consecutive patients (8 female, 11 male, age: 63.2+/-14,3 years) with central retinal artery occlusion were treated by systemic application of urokinase using a standardized scheme. The latency from …
Chronic Total Coronary Artery Occlusion Recanalisation with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention — Single Centre 10-Year Experience
2018
Abstract Coronary artery chronic total occlusions (CTO) are common — approximately one-third of patients with significant coronary artery disease on angiography have at least 1 CTO. Invasive treatment of these lesions still remain a major challenge for interventional cardiology due to their complexity. Historically, success rates have improved to about 60–70% by using only the traditional antegrade approach. The results have dramatically improved during the last decade after more widespread application of new retrograde techniques. The aim of our study was to review and analyse single hospital experience in CTO invasive treatment and to evaluate the long-term results. A total of 519 patient…

(1) Background: This cross-sectional study aims to compare a new and non-invasive approach using hyperspectral imaging (HSI) with the conventional modified Allen’s test (MAT) for the assessment of collateral perfusion prior to radial forearm free flap harvest in healthy adults. (2) HSI of the right hand of 114 patients was recorded. Here, three recordings were carried out: (I) basic status (perfusion), (II) after occlusion of ulnar and radial artery (occlusion) and (III) after releasing the ulnar artery (reperfusion). At all recordings, tissue oxygenation/superficial perfusion (StO2 (0–100%); 0–1 mm depth), tissue hemoglobin index (THI (0–100)) and near infrared perfusion index/deep perfusi…
Síndrome de Susac de presentación ocular atípica
2007
espanolCaso clinico: Mujer de 25 anos de edad afecta de encefalopatia y perdida auditiva neurosensorial, remitida a nuestro servicio para confirmar un sindrome de Susac por presentar una disminucion de agudeza visual bilateral. En la exploracion funduscopica se aprecio una microangiopatia retiniana periferica. Discusion: El sindrome de Susac se caracteriza tipicamente por la triada encefalopatia, perdida auditiva neurosensorial, y oclusiones de ramas arteriales retinianas. En nuestro caso las alteraciones oculares eran atipicas, apreciandose amputacion de vasos terminales con cumulo de microaneurismas en retina periferica de ambos ojos.
