PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical outcome and MRI findings after carotid artery stenting (CAS) without post-dilatation. METHODS Between May 2005 and April 2012, a total of 169 consecutive patients (61.4% symptomatic) underwent 176 CAS procedures performed with an embolic protection device (GuardWire, n=116; FilterWire EZ, n=60). All stents were deployed without post-dilatation. Periprocedural ...

Fourth ventricular dilatation is usually seen along with tri-ventriculomegaly in patients with communicating hydrocephalus. Isolated fourth ventricular dilatation is uncommon, especially as a sequelae following infective or post hemorrhagic communicating hydrocephalus.1 Ventricular shunting often causes a collapse in the system, and postinflammatory scarring in the aqueduct causes adhesions bet...

four crossbred cows with mummified fetus were utilized for the study. the cows were subjected to gynecological examination and based on the findings the cases were diagnosed as mummified fetus. the cows were treated with 2 mg estradiol valerate and 500 µg cloprostenol and were examined every 12 hr after 24 hr of the treatment for cervical dilatation and other signs related to fetal expulsion. t...

Objective: To evaluate the impact of post dilatation performed with Non- Compliant Balloon on Angiographical outcome (that is TIMI flow grade) in patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
 Study Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study.
 Place and Duration Study: At Tertiary Cardiac Care Center, Rawalpindi Pakistan from Nov 2020 to Apr 2021.
 Methodolo...

women dying from various diseases, and they gave figures for the incidence of ureteric dilatation, which varied within wide limits but averaged out at about 40 per cent. The reason for this variation is not far to seek. First, it is not easy to estimate dilatation of a ureter on the post-mortem table, and under such conditions all but very gross degrees of dilatation remain largely a matter of ...

BACKGROUND EUS, as it images the full thickness of the gastrointestinal tract wall, could provide more detailed information on benign esophageal strictures. Aim of this study was to evaluate the role of EUS in predicting the response to endoscopic dilatation in benign esophageal strictures. METHODS 27 patients with benign strictures (corrosive 14, peptic 10 & post-radiation 3) were prospectiv...

Post haemorrhagic ventricular dilatation occurs in a minority of newborn infants, but is associated with a high risk of cerebral palsy and developmental delay. Neither the relation of ventricular size to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure, nor the effect of CSF removal on prognosis, have been established. Normal CSF pressure measured at subarachnoid cannulation was mean (SD) 2-8 (1.4) mm Hg. Va...

Abstract The steady flow of Jeffrey fluid through a tube with both constrictions and dilatations have been studied. The expressions for velocity, pressure drop, volumetric flow rate, resistance to the flow, wall shear stress have been derived by assuming that the stenosis is mild. It is found that the resistance to the flow increases with the height of the stenosis and decreases with post steno...

An elderly hypertensive lady presented to us with acute coronary syndrome; an angiogram revealed total thrombotic occlusion of large left circumflex artery. After thrombosuction, there was proximal tight stenosis followed by an aneurysmal segment of the culprit vessel that was stented successfully. Subsequent post-dilatation at the site of aneurysm produced a large perforation, which was sealed...
