We report the case of a patient that developed hepatic hydrothorax as the first complication of liver cirrhosis. Due to the lack of response to diuretics, pleurodesis and TIPS, treatment with octreotide was started with resolution of hydrothorax.

متن کاملRisk of late-acquired incomplete stent apposition after drug-eluting stent versus bare-metal stent. A meta-analysis from 12 randomized trials.
BACKGROUND Incomplete stent apposition (ISA) is an unusual finding of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) that may occur both after drug-eluting stent (DES) or bare-metal stent (BMS) implantation and could be associated with late stent thrombosis.
