Palliation of intrathoracic tracheal compression with a silastic tracheobronchial stent.
Asphyxia due to extrinsic tracheal compression by nonresectable tumour in the mediastinum is a particularly distressing problem, hitherto not amenable to relief by surgical means. Tracheostomy may be inappropriate, either because the tube falls short of the area of compression or because the segment of trachea at the tracheostomy site is affected by the pathological process; and endotracheal in...
متن کاملInterrupting gel layer between Double cuffs prevents fluid leakage past tracheal tube cuffs.
BACKGROUND Current tracheal tubes (TTs) cannot guarantee a perfect seal against pulmonary aspiration of upper airway secretions. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a gel layer between the tracheal tube with double cuffs (Double cuffs) prevents fluid leakage past TT cuffs. METHODS In vitro fluid leakage tests were performed using the Double cuff with or without a gel layer be...
متن کاملTracheal suture in rats with hypothyroidism: wound healing study.
PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of hypothyroidism in tracheal wound healing process. METHODS A controlled study was designed with 48 male Wistar rats, divided into two groups: study and control groups. In the first one hypothyroidism was surgically induced and 10 weeks after, a tracheal opening followed by suture was performed in both groups, subdivided into 7, 14, and 21 days in accordance...
متن کاملPlatelet deposition on Dacron aortic bifurcation grafts in man: quantitation with indium-111 platelet imaging.
The interaction between platelets and chronically implanted prosthetic arterial graft surfaces in man was assessed by imaging indium-111-labeled platelet deposition in 15 patients with Dacron aortic bifurcation grafts. Grafts had been in place for 9-120 months. These results were compared with those obtained by platelet imaging of the aortofemoral vessels of 13 normal young adults without graft...
متن کاملEfficacy of TachoSil® patches in controlling Dacron suture-hole bleeding after abdominal aortic aneurysm open repair
PURPOSE The aim of this study is evaluate the efficacy of TachoSil patches in controlling suture-hole bleeding after elective infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) replacement with Dacron graft. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients undergoing elective replacement of infrarenal AAA with Dacron grafts were prospectively randomized to TachoSil patches (Group I) or standard compression with surgic...
