BACKGROUND On the basis of brachytherapy experience, edge stenosis has been raised as a potential limitation for drug-eluting stents. We used serial intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to prospectively analyze vessel responses in adjacent reference segments after implantation of polymer-controlled paclitaxel-eluting stents. METHODS AND RESULTS TAXUS II was a randomized, double-blind trial with 2 ...
Measurements were performed to assess the dose equivalent outside a primary proton treatment field, using a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) microdosimeter. The SOI microdosimeter was placed on the surface of an anthropomorphic phantom and dose equivalents were determined as a function of lateral distance from a typical passively scattered and modulated prostate treatment field. Measurements were als...
The main mechanisms of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation are vessel expansion and plaque redistribution, and one of the major complications is dissection originating from the proximal or distal stent edge. Although angiographic criteria for a significant dissection have been published, the criteria for a significant intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)–detected stent e...
Quantitative imaging of perfusion using a single subtraction, second version (QUIPSS II) is a pulsed arterial spin labeling (ASL) technique for improving the quantitation of perfusion imaging by minimizing two major systematic errors: the variable transit delay from the distal edge of the tagged region to the imaging slices, and the contamination by intravascular signal from tagged blood that f...
To investigate the cause of rupture of the flexor pollicis longus (FPL) after volar plate fixation of distal radius fractures, previous studies have examined the shape of the distal radius in the sagittal plane or in the lateral view. However, there are no reports on the anatomical shape of the volar surface concavity of the distal radius in the axial plane. We hypothesized that this concavity ...
BACKGROUND Differences in needle design may impact nerve localization. This study evaluates the electrical properties of two insulated Tuohy needles using computational finite element modeling. METHODS Three-dimensional geometric computer-based models were created representing two 18-gauge, insulated Tuohy needles: (1) with an exposed metal tip and (2) with an insulated tip. The models were p...
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of partial excision of the A2 pulley on the gliding resistance and the strength of the residual pulleys in a human in vitro model with or without tendon repair. METHODS We used 32 cadaveric human fingers from 11 cadavers. The A2 pulley was excised successively 25%, 50%, and 75%, cutting either from the distal toward the proximal ...
BACKGROUND Adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus and gastric cardia are defined by the relationship of its epicenter to the gastro-esophageal junction, which is presently defined as the end of the tubular esophagus. We have recently suggested that the true gastro-esophageal junction is best defined by the proximal limit of gastric oxyntic mucosa. AIM To reclassify adenocarcinomas of this reg...
We report a case in which saccular aneurysms formed at both ends of an endograft that exhibited maladaptive aortic changes after endovascular aortic repair in a patient without significant evidence of connective tissue disease. A 66-year old male underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for a distal aortic arch aneurysm. A follow-up computed tomography (CT) scan performed at 6 mont...
