Prospective comparison of CT angiography of the legs with intraarterial digital subtraction angiography.
1996
The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of CT angiography (CTA) with a single spiral acquisition for the diagnosis of arterial stenoses and occlusion in patients with peripheral vascular occlusive disease.In a prospective study, intraarterial digital subtraction angiography and i.v. CTA from the groin to the lower calves were performed on 50 patients with vascular occlusive disease. Maximum-intensity-projection images in multiple views were produced. The accuracy of CTA with and without analysis of the axial scans was determined with digital subtraction angiography as the standard.The sensitivities of CTA were 100% for the diagnosis of femoral artery occlusion, 100% for the dete…
Assoziation einer arteriellen Verschlußkrankheit mit Ciclosporin-Therapie nach Nierentransplantation
2008
Renal transplantation followed by immunosuppression with cyclosporine (whole-blood levels 200-300 micrograms/l) and methylprednisolone (4 mg daily) was performed in a 54-year-old man with chronic glomerulonephritis. Three years later rapidly progressive arterial obstructive disease (peripheral type) developed. Parenteral treatment with prostaglandins, calcium antagonists and nitrates, as well as a lumbar sympathectomy, was unsuccessful so that, in rapid succession, several amputations on upper and lower limbs became necessary. The disease progression was arrested only when azathioprine replaced cyclosporine. Raynaud's phenomenon, present at the time, also disappeared and analgesics were no …
CT-Angiographie bei arterieller Verschlußkrankheit: Vergleich von 3 Rekonstruktionsverfahren
1997
Purpose To evaluate different rendering techniques of CT data for the assessment of long vessel segments in peripheral vascular occlusive disease. Material and methods 40 CT angiograms (aortoiliac: n = 20, leg arteries: n = 20) were viewed using three different rendering techniques: 1, maximum intensity projection (MIP); 2, volume rendering (VR); 3, shaded surface display (SSD). CT angiograms were obtained in 6 or 8 projections. Axial cross-section images were analysed using an interactive cine mode. Intraarterial DSA was the standard in all cases. Results The sensitivities for the diagnosis of occlusive disease were 100% (cross-section images), 94% (MIP), 91% (VR) and 93% (SSD). The specif…
Funktionsangiographie der kniegelenknahen Arterien: Konsequenzen für die Stentimplantation?
1990
Angiographic studies of the arteries adjoining the knee in 25 patients show extensive kinking and stenoses of the popliteal artery and less frequently of the distal femoral artery during flexion of the knee joint. This is due to the loss of elasticity with increasing age forcing the vessel into a tortuous course during shortening of the pathway of the popliteal artery with knee flexion. Independent of the principle of the different stents available they probably will not increase the contractility of the stented vessel in the longitudinal axis. It is to expect that after implantation of stents into the popliteal artery kinking will occur predominantly in the original segments of the vessel …
Līdzestība ārstēšanā pacientiem ar perifēro artēriju okluzīvām saslimšanām
2022
Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Līdzestība ārstēšanā pacientiem ar perifēro artēriju okluzīvām saslimšanām”. Darbs sastāv no 41 lappusēm, 6 attēliem, 1 tabulas un 6 pielikumiem. Pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot pacientu līdzestību perifēro artēriju okluzīvo saslimšanu ārstēšanā. Pētījumā izmantota kvantitatīvā pētniecības metode – aptaujas anketa. Pētījumam izvirzīta hipotēze – pacientu ar perifēro artēriju okluzīvo saslimšanu līdzestība ārstēšanas procesā ir daļēji apmierinoša. Pacienti ir līdzestīgi medikamentozai terapijai, bet nevēlas mainīt dzīvesveida un uztura paradumus. Bakalaura darbam izvirzītā hipotēze, ka perifēro artēriju okluzīvo saslimšanu pacientu līdzestība ir daļēja – pacienti ir lī…
