Anatomical Variations in the Sinoatrial Nodal Artery: A Meta-Analysis and Clinical Considerations

2016

Background and Objective The sinoatrial nodal artery (SANa) is a highly variable vessel which supplies blood to the sinoatrial node (SAN). Due to its variability and susceptibility to iatrogenic injury, our study aimed to assess the anatomy of the SANa and determine the prevalence of its anatomical variations. Study Design An extensive search of major electronic databases was performed to identify all articles reporting anatomical data on the SANa. No lower date limit or language restrictions were applied. Anatomical data regarding the artery were extracted and pooled into a meta-analysis. Results Sixty-six studies (n = 21455 hearts) were included in the meta-analysis. The SANa usually aros…

Pudendal nerve branch injury during radical perineal prostatectomy

2005

We report the first case of direct surgical injury to a pudendal nerve branch during radical perineal prostatectomy. A 65-year-old patient presented with typical symptoms of a pudendal nerve lesion after radical perineal prostatectomy. As the patient did not respond to conservative treatment, surgical exploration and exeresis of the injured sensory branch of the pudendal nerve was necessary, resulting in pain improvement. Urologic surgeons should be aware of the typical symptoms after iatrogenic injury to the pudendal nerve or its branches. Early diagnosis and neurosurgical intervention are important to obtain a more favorable outcome.

Increases of intracanal and root surface temperatures during the obturation of canal using the E&Q master system and the system

2010

Objectives: The purpose of our study is to assess the increases of intracanal and root surface temperatures during the obturation of canal system using the E&Q Master System and the System B. Materials and methods: A split-tooth model was built. To measure the temperature, 6 grooves for the placement of thermocouples were made in the buccal half of the model. On the mesial side, three grooves were made at 2, 4 and 6 mm from the anatomical apex and were extended to the root surface, while on the distal side three grooves were made at 2, 4 and 6 mm up to the intracanal portion. In each of these grooves was inserted a type T thermocouple (Copper-Costantana) with a diameter of 0.076 mm. 40 cana…
