Knotting of the guide wires: A rare complication during minimally invasive procedure on kidney-Lessons learnt
Guide wires are frequently used in various endourologic procedures to access the upper as well as lower urinary tract. Flexible guide wires have lesser complication rate of tissue injury as compared to stiff guide wires. Flexible guide wires are however more prone to bending and kinking due to their mechanical properties. We report an unusual complication of knotting of flexible guide wires dur...
متن کاملKnotting dynamics during DNA replication.
The topology of plasmid DNA changes continuously as replication progresses. But the dynamics of the process remains to be fully understood. Knotted bubbles form when topo IV knots the daughter duplexes behind the fork in response to their degree of intertwining. Here, we show that knotted bubbles can form during unimpaired DNA replication, but they become more evident in partially replicated in...
متن کاملFatal cerebral air embolism complicating esophageal dilation.
We present the case of a 72-year-old man with cardiac adenocarcinoma treated with a metal stent and radiation therapy for pulmonarymetastases. After 6 months of this treatment he developed a malignant esophageal stricture. Endoscopy was carried out under moderate sedation and constant monitoring. Dilation with an over-the-scope balloon dilator (CRE single-use, wire-guided esophageal dilation ba...
متن کاملDeleterious effects of reprocessing guide wires: an alert.
Gelamo et al., on page 331 of this issue, present the elegant work entitled “Effects of reprocessing on chemical and morphological properties of guide wires used in angioplasty” [1], in which they describe significant morphological changes after washing the guide wires once or twice using ultrasonic vibration and enzymatic detergent, and no significant changes when sterilized with ethylene oxid...
متن کاملJailing polymer jacketed guide-wires during bifurcation coronary interventions is associated with procedural myocardial infarction
AIM To study the relationship of jailed polymer jacketed guide wires (PGW) with procedural myocardial infarction (PMI) after bifurcation coronary interventions. METHODS Consecutive bifurcation interventions performed from January 2010 to October 2014 were included in the study. Chart review was performed to obtain demographic, clinical and procedural data. PMI was defined as Creatine Kinase M...
