Nitinol stenting and an unsuccessful surgical operation

Case Report Nitinol stenting and an unsuccessful surgical operation

Stent implantation in vascular access for haemodialysis has grown up in the last few years. Nine percent of percutaneous transluminal angioplasties (PTA) performed in 2001 on haemodialysis accesses was associated with stent implantation, according to the United States Renal Data System 2003 annual data report [1]. Furthermore, graft longevity is improved when stenoses are treated with stents in...

Emergency surgical intervention after unsuccessful percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting of aortic coarctation.

Coarctation of thoracic aorta is an uncommon diagnosis in adults. Catheter-based intervention consisting of primary ballooning and stenting is becoming one of the methods of choice for the treatment of native coarctation. We describe the case of a young adult with coarctation of the aorta treated unsuccessfully with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stent implantation that resulted in s...

[Investigation on unsuccessful endoscopic operation for cases with vesicoureteral reflux].

Endoscopic operation of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) has several advantages such as less invasiveness and technical ease with the procedure and shorter hospitalization for the operation in comparison with coeliotomy, but the cure rate achieved by endoscopic operation compares unfavorably with that by coeliotomy. The unsuccessful cases of VUR by endoscopic operation were investigated to promote t...
