Reperfusion of liver graft during transplantation: techniques used in transplant centres within Eurotransplant and meta-analysis of the literature
2013
Abstract: It remains unclear which liver graft reperfusion technique leads to the best outcome following transplantation. An online survey was sent to all transplant centres (n=37) within Eurotransplant (ET) to collect information on their technique used for reperfusion of liver grafts. Furthermore, a systematic review of all literature was performed and a meta-analysis was conducted based on patients' mortality, number of retransplantations and incidence of biliary complications, depending on the technique used. Of the 28 evaluated centres, 11 (39%) reported performing simultaneous reperfusion (SIMR), 13 (46%) perform initial portal vein reperfusion (IPR), 1 (4%) performs an initial hepati…
Artefaktreduzierung bei der Lungenemboliediagnostik mittels Spiral-CT unter Verwendung eines Kochsalzbolus
2001
nary Arteries Using a Saline Push. Purpose: To improve the diagnostic efficacy of bolus-enhanced spiral CT (SCT) in the detection of pulmonary embolism using a saline push immediately after bolus injection of the contrast medium. Patients and Methods: The study included 90 patients with suspected acute or chronic pulmonary embolism. The CT scan was performed in a caudocephaled direction. In Group I (n=60) we applied a bolus contrast injection (120 ml, 3 ml/s, 300 mg J/ml), after a median delay of 25 s. Group II (n = 30) had the same contrast injection which was immediately followed by an additional saline push (60 ml, 2 ml/s). Streak artifacts originating from high contrast concentrations i…
Gradual angioplasty and stent implantation to treat complete superior vena cava occlusion after Mustard procedure
1996
A 16-year-old male was admitted with complete occlusion of the superior vena cava pathway 14 years after Mustard procedure for transposition of the great arteries. From a left subclavian vein approach, the atretic vein segment was perforated using a straight guidewire, and was followed by sequential balloon dilation. Implantation of a 30 mm Palmaz-stent through a femoral vein approach resulted in a widely patent channel of the vena cava superior into the systemic venous atrium. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy of the inferior vena cava and iliac veins with the use of Aspirex®S device in a paediatric patient
2017
Phlegmasia cerulea dolens, which is the most severe clinical presentation of deep venous thrombosis and results from an almost complete occlusion of the major and collateral venous outflow routes from the extremity, is very rarely seen in children. Here we describe the treatment of an 11-year-old boy with Down syndrome who presented with thrombotic occlusion of the inferior vena cava and both iliac veins. We present a step-by-step technique of endovascular mechanical thrombectomy of these veins with the use of the Aspirex®S thrombectomy device. Endovascular treatment was followed by local intravenous thrombolysis. Because of recurrent thrombosis, which occurred 4 days later, endovascular th…
Therapeutic Advances in Emergency Cardiology: Acute Pulmonary Embolism.
2019
Background Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) requires rapid diagnosis and early and appropriate treatment, often under conditions of hemodynamic instability. The therapeutic strategy should optimally integrate the therapeutic arsenal in a multidisciplinary but unitary approach. Areas of uncertainty The short list of the major uncertainties associated with acute PE should include limited general public awareness on venous thromboembolism, acute hemodynamic support not based on evidence from randomized clinical trials, with few updates lately, mainly linked to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, thrombolytic therapy having firm indications only in high-risk PE, without clear strategies for parti…
Endovascular management of a large aneurysm of the superior vena cava involving internal thoracic vein with remodeling technique
2016
International audience; We report a case describing endovascular treatment of a large aneurysm of the superior vena cava involving internal thoracic vein. The goal of this case report is to highlight the contributing role of embolization with remodeling technique in such an exceptional condition.
Transesophageal contrast echocardiography is not always the gold standard method in the identification of a patent foramen ovale: A clinical case
2015
In the embryo, Eustachian valve is a crescent-shaped membrane extending from the lower margin of the inferior vena cava and the ostium of the coronary sinus into the right atrium toward fossa ovalis and tricuspid valve. At birth, after the functional closure of the foramen ovale, the Eustachian valve loses its function, reducing to an embryo remnant. According to growing evidence, a persistent Eustachian valve is a frequent finding in patients with a patent foramen ovale (PFO). By directing the blood from the inferior cava to the interatrial septum, it may prevent the spontaneous closure of PFO after birth and indirectly predispose to paradoxical embolism. Transesophageal contrast enhanced …
Para-aortic lymphadenectomy in abnormal common iliac bifurcation
2021
A 60-year-old-woman was diagnosed with serous endometrial cancer and on pre-operative CT there was evidence of a higher confluence of the common iliac veins in the inferior vena cava ([Figure 1][1]). Due to the presence of ascites (800 mL) and of a neoplastic ileal nodule at laparoscopy, to avoid
Un'iconografia "trasfigurata": da santa Cecilia di Riccardo Quartararo a Santa Barbara di Cristoforo Faffeo
2016
Il volume, concepito secondo una metodologia multidisciplinare, propone all'attenzione degli studiosi nuovi dati per la conoscenza di una tavola dipinta dell'ultimo quarto del XV secolo proveniente al Museo Diocesano di Palermo dalla Cattedrale; finora attribuita a Riccardo Quartararo e identificata come Santa Cecilia solo per la presenza dell'angelo musico, l'opera viene qui correttamente riconosciuta, dopo il restauro, come Santa Barbara per l'imponente torre a donjon retrostante e attribuita al pittore napoletano Cristoforo Faffeo sulla base non solo di analogie stilistico-formali, ma di evidenze tecnico-esecutive e scientifiche nel confronto con altre opere riferite allo stesso e al Qua…
Effect of fertilization on growth of lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.)
2021
Received: January 29th, 2021 ; Accepted: April 10th, 2021 ; Published: April 20th, 2021 ; Correspondence: andis.karlsons@lu.lv Today, most of the global berry crop of Vaccinium vitis-idaea L. is obtained from wild berries. In recent years, however, their cultivation has become slightly more widespread, especially as demand has increased. As the commercial production of lingonberries is a completely new fruit-growing sector in Latvia, research on mineral nutrition, development of the crop production system and proper fertilizer management is critically important. The objective of this study was to elucidate the effect of different fertilizer rates on the nutrient status of lingonberry plant …
