El consentimiento informado de los menores de edad en el ámbito sanitario

2021

: El consentimiento informado aparece como un derecho de todo paciente a decidir en el ámbito sanitario. En este marco, es necesario determinar si los menores de edad han de ejercitar este derecho o si, por el contrario, precisan de la intervención de un tercero para llevarlo a cabo. A este respecto, nuestra legislación actual reconoce, con carácter general, el derecho a decidir de este colectivo. No obstante, en ocasiones pueden producirse limitaciones a su ejercicio motivadas bien por la ausencia de capacidad real, bien por el principio de interés superior. En definitiva, se trata de alcanzar el mayor beneficio para los menores de edad en el campo de la salud, evitando que se produzcan pe…

Estudio de la evolución del sellado distal ilíaco en el tratamiento endovascular de la aorta abdominal

2018

Introducción: En las endoprótesis aórticas (EVAR) existen diferentes opciones y teorías respecto al sellado distal para ilíacas comunes dilatadas y controversia en cuanto a su evolución. Objetivo: conocer los resultados, la evolución del sellado distal en EVAR y formalizar un algoritmo terapéutico. Pacientes y metodología: Se realiza un análisis retrospectivo de los pacientes sometidos a EVAR, en el Hospital Universitario Doctor Peset, entre 2007 y 2015. La investigación consta de 5 estudios. Los tres primeros estudios son comparativos: • El primero compara los resultados y la evolución del sellado entre ilíaca externa y común tras el cambio de estrategia en nuestro centro (sellado en ilíac…

Assessment of EVAR Complications using CIRSE Complication Classification System in the UK Tertiary Referral Centre: A ∼6-Year Retrospective Analysis …

2021

Purpose: To retrospectively analyse complications in endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) interventions and evaluate if the CIRSE (Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe) complication classification system is appropriate as a standardized classification tool for EVAR patients. Materials and Methods: Demographic, procedural and complication data in 719 consecutive patients undergoing EVAR at one institution from January 2014 to October 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Data (imaging reports, procedural reports, nurse notes, discharge summary reports) were collected consulting the electronic patient record system (EPR) of the hospital and cleaned and stored in a Micro…

Biomechanical implications of excessive endograft protrusion into the aortic arch after thoracic endovascular repair

2015

Endografts placed in the aorta for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) may determine malappositioning to the lesser curvature of the aortic wall, thus resulting in a devastating complication known as endograft collapse. This premature device failure commonly occurs in young individuals after TEVAR for traumatic aortic injuries as a result of applications outside the physical conditions for which the endograft was designed. In this study, an experimentally-calibrated fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model was developed to assess the hemodynamic and stress/strain distributions acting on the excessive protrusion extension (PE) of endografts deployed in four young patients underwent TE…

Tropes of Travel in Bernardine Evaristo’s Novels

2011

This paper is informed by an interpretative framework in which the theoretical paradigms of Cultural, Gender, (Post-)colonial and Tourism studies are interwoven. It is claimed that fostering a specific kind of literary and cultural tourism, centred on (post-)colonial authors’ works, might emerge as a political practice able to reshape the self-fashioning of Western European cultural heritage in non-essentialized terms. Consequently, this would also help promote cross-cultural exchanges. In this respect, Lara (1997), The Emperor’s Babe (2001) and Soul Tourists (2005), the first three novels by the London-born Anglo-Nigerian writer Bernardine Evaristo, appear to be extremely relevant literary…
