Small-Diameter PTFE Portosystemic Shunts: Portocaval vs Mesocaval
Fifty-seven patients with failed sclerotherapy received a mesocaval interposition shunt with an externally supported, ringed polytetrafluoroethylene prosthesis of either 10 or 12 mm diameter. Thirty-one patients had Child-Pugh grade A disease and 26 grade B; all had a liver volume of 1000-2500 ml. Follow-up ranged from 16 months to 6 years 3 months. Three patients (5 per cent) died in the posto...

متن کاملVisibility of Balloon Dilatation Catheters
In this study, an easy to use measurement method was developed to quantify the balloon dilatation catheters visibility, thus making them comparable. The visibility of the distal and proximal markers and the balloon (average values of the markers) was determined for fourteen balloons of the same type and material, but different lengths and diameters. Repeatability of these values was tested by o...
متن کاملEmergency Portasystemic Shunting in Cirrhotics With Bleeding Varices — A Comparison of Portacaval and Mesocaval Shunts
Despite the best conservative measures available for the control of major variceal hemorrhage, some patients either continue to bleed, or rebleed early, and require emergency surgery. One hundred patients with cirrhosis and uncontrolled bleeding were treated with emergency portasystemic shunts between 1968 and 1983. Fifty eight patients had end-to-side portacaval shunts and 42 had Dacron interp...
متن کاملBalloon catheter dilatation of common canaliculus stenoses.
OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of balloon catheter dacryocystoplasty in treating stenoses of the common canaliculus. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 1997 and 2004, elective balloon catheter dilatation was performed under local anesthesia in 36 patients with epiphora and dacryocystography (DCG)-proven high-grade stenosis of the common canaliculus.
