Brachytherapy for refractory coronary artery restenosis.
A 76-year-old female patient complained of progressive episodes of chest and left arm pain and numbness, accompanied by a burning sensation in the left breast. The symptoms were nitroglycerine-responsive and consistent with her prior angina. Cardiac history included an initial percutaneous coronary intervention and 4 subsequent occurrences of restenosis in a stented area of the left anterior de...
متن کاملOutcomes Following Gamma Knife for Metastases
Brain metastases occur in approximately 20-40% of all cancer patients, with an annual incidence of 170,000-200,000 cases, outnumbering primary brain tumors by a factor of ten to one (Gavrilovic, 2005; Posner, 1992). The management of brain metastases has evolved significantly in the past 10-20 years. These changes are attributable not only to improvements in the fields of neurosurgery and radia...
متن کاملVascular brachytherapy versus sirolimus eluting stents for the treatment of in-stent restenosis: a prospective registry.
S ince they were first introduced 17 years ago, bare metallic stents have improved the outcome of angioplasty. However, in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a major limitation with an incidence of additional revascularisation of 17–21 %. Among the several approaches proposed to address this problem, vascular brachytherapy (VBT) has given the best results, with an incidence of major cardiac events ...
متن کاملLipids and vascular restenosis.
Coronary artery restenosis after angioplasty continues to affect about 30% of patients undergoing this procedure despite extensive efforts to reduce its incidence.3 Recurrent carotid artery stenosis after endarterectomy occurs in about 20% of these arteries, but functional impairment necessitating surgery develops in only a fraction of the cases.4,5 Whereas angioplasty and carotid endarterectom...
متن کاملFatal vascular outcomes following major orthopedic surgery.
Major orthopedic surgery is known to be associated with potentially serious arterial and venous vascular complications, although uncertainty exists about current event rates. Using electronic databases and investigator contact, we identified randomized and cohort studies reporting overall mortality and fatal vascular events. Where possible, studies reporting high autopsy rates (>60%) were exami...
