Percutaneous interventions for lower extremity peripheral vascular disease.
Peripheral vascular disease of the lower extremities is an important cause of morbidity that affects up to 10 million people in the United States. The primary care physician can easily identify patients who are at risk for the disease with a questionnaire and a relatively simple test-the ankle brachial index. More than 70 percent of patients diagnosed with the disease remain stable or improve w...
متن کاملEfficiency of Imaging Methods Prior to Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
The most important step of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is planning the puncture site. A well selected puncture will facilitate nephroscopic navigation and stone clearance. The traditional methods for planning the puncture are intravenous urogram or retrograde pyelogram. Either of these imaging tools is adequate, but new tools such as 3D reconstructed tomography should be more accurate. ...
متن کامل[Percutaneous treatment of peripheral vascular malformations].
OBJECTIVE Vascular malformations are uncommon pathologic entities in which surgery is usually not possible or is inefficient.

MATERIAL AND METHODS During the 1993-1997 period a total of 35 patient, 20 females (57%) and 15 males (43%) ...
متن کاملPercutaneous vascular interventions for acute ischaemic stroke.
BACKGROUND Most disabling strokes are due to blockage of a large artery in the brain by a blood clot. Prompt removal of the clot with intra-arterial thrombolytic drugs or mechanical devices, or both, can restore blood flow before major brain damage has occurred, leading to improved recovery. However, these so-called percutaneous vascular interventions can cause bleeding in the brain. OBJECTIV...
متن کاملPerioperative Cross-sectional Imaging
Development of electrocardiographically (ECG) gated multisection computed tomography (CT) has had a significant, immediate impact in cardiovascular imaging. The capabilities of this new technique have become particularly important in the preoperative assessment of the cardiac surgery patient. Cardiac surgery in the 21st century has become increasingly complex because of an aging population need...
