Early Post-operative CT-Angiography Imaging After EC-IC Bypass Surgery in Moyamoya Patients

Intraoperative EC-IC bypass blood flow assessment with indocyanine green angiography in moyamoya and non-moyamoya ischemic stroke.

OBJECTIVE Superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) anastomosis has been used in moyamoya disease (MD) and non-moyamoya ischemic stroke (non-MD). It is important to monitor hemodynamic changes caused by bypass surgery for postoperative management. We evaluated the bypass blood flow during STA-MCA anastomosis by using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography. METHODS...

Early Post Operative Enteral Versus Parenteral Feeding after Esophageal Cancer Surgery

Introduction: The incidence of malnutrition in hospitalized patients is reported to be high. In particular, patients with esophageal cancer are prone to malnutrition, due to preoperative digestive system dysfunctions and short-term non-oral feeding postoperatively. Selection of an appropriate method for feeding in the postoperative period is important in these patients.   Materials and Methods:...

4D-flow assessment of cerebral hemodynamic in patients with post EC-IC bypass

Background EC-IC bypass surgery is performed in the patients with internal carotid artery occlusion (ICO) or who undergo ligature of the internal carotid artery (ICA) for the treatment of aneurysm. The flow directions are varied according to the relative pressure of some intracranial arteries following post EC-IC bypass. Abnormal retrograde flow is often observed at the ipsilateral M1 segment o...

Early Post-Operative Complications in Cataract Surgery

To date a number of techniques have been used for cataract surgery. However phacoemulsification is the most common method. Other methods such as intraand extracapsular cataract extraction, mini-nuc, phacosection, sandwich and phaconit have also been used by many surgeons. Over the years, the techniques of cataract surgery have evolved into a safe and successful procedure for visual rehabilitati...
