Use of Amplatzer device for endobronchial closure of bronchopleural fistulas.
Postpneumonectomy bronchopleural fistulas (BPFs) remain difficult management problems associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Traditional therapies have included primary repair or delayed closure with the creation of an Eloesser cavity and tissue flap reinforcement. New bronchoscopic modalities have included the use of bioglues, stents, and coils. We describe another additional, l...
متن کاملEfficacy of bronchoscopic closure of a bronchopleural fistula with amplatzer devices: long-term follow-up.
BACKGROUND The development of a bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. We have developed a minimally invasive method of bronchoscopic BPF closure using Amplatzer devices (AD) and Amplatzer vascular plugs (AVP), with excellent short-term results. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present report was to explore the long-term outcome of patients treated by ...
متن کامل[Percutaneous closure of ventricular septal defect with an Amplatzer device].
We present a series of 4 patients in whom a ventricular septal defect (VSD) was closed with an Amplatzer muscular VSD device during cardiac catheterization. In one patient with type I truncus arteriosus and subarterial VSD, closure of a wide apical defect was done to allow further surgical correction while avoiding left ventricular ventriculotomy. The second patient had congenitally corrected t...

catecholamines. Verapamil, which should not usually be administered for the treatment of wide QRS complex tachycardia, was used in this patient, following consultation with the arrhythmia specialist, as the pattern clearly indicated a fascicular origin, in the presence of normal ventricular function. The efficacy of verapamil may support an abnormal sinoatrial node pacemaker activity mechanism ...
متن کاملRetrograde ureteral stent exchange under fluoroscopic guidance.
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of fluoroscopy-guided retrograde double-J stent exchange. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between March 2003 and June 2005, 39 retrograde ureteral stent exchange procedures on 19 patients and 24 ureters were performed under fluoroscopic guidance. Seventeen of the patients were female and 2 were male. All procedures were done on an outp...
