OBJECTIVE Although relevant information exists regarding the chance of obliterating arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) using radiosurgery, the overall chance of cure after gamma knife radiosurgery is usually only extrapolated from a portion of all monitored patients. This chance and the risks involved in radiosurgery, including repeat treatment when necessary in a defined population of treated ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of preradiosurgical embolization on obliteration rate, reduction of size, irradiation dose, and neurological outcome, in 90 patients presenting large arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). METHODS Between October 1993 and October 2006, 90 radiosurgical procedures were performed to treat brain AVMs Spetzler-Martin (SM) grades III, IV, and V at the Department of Radi...

Objective The treatment of large aneurysms the posterior circulation is complicated and remains challenging. We here analyzed our institutional clinical outcomes unruptured circulation. Methods This study included 56 patients who presented with a (>10 mm) aneurysm between 2002 2018. Results There were 18 (32.1%) male 38 (67.9%) female patients, mean age 53.4 years. most common location was vert...

OBJECTIVE To detect parameters that may augment the therapeutic strategy in patients with a cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) that is considered equally suitable for treatment by neurosurgery or radiosurgery, we compared the efficacy and risks of these two methods in a paired series with similar patient and AVM characteristics. PATIENTS AND METHODS Two series of patients with AVM were...

BACKGROUND Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are dynamic lesions and have been documented to arise de novo, enlarge, regress, obliterate, and even recur. Spontaneous obliteration of AVM is a rare and poorly understood phenomenon. CASE DESCRIPTION We present a case of spontaneous obliteration of AVM in a 60-year-old gentleman who presented with intraparenchymal hemorrhage from a rupt...

Gastric variceal bleeding has a poor prognosis and high mortality rate. Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration traditionally been applied in the treatment of gastric varix. Recently, plug-assisted (PARTO) widely popularly for There have no reports cases which PARTO was performed patients with both gastrorenal shunt gastrocaval shunt. We report case on patient varix who had

Introduction: In 2016, a new approach to endodontics using CAD/CAM printed guides or splints emerged, mostly in pieces with pulp obliteration. Objective: To analyze the literature on some current endodontic techniques for treatment of obliteration, such as static guided endodontics, dynamic and microsurgery. Methodology: PubMed, SCOPUS Google Scholar databases were reviewed find recent articles...

Sir, In their article in Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation w1x, discussing the pathophysiology of acute renal failure in the nephrotic syndrome, Koomans et al. (p. 223) mention that obliteration of epithelial slit pores, as visualized by electron microscopy, is not correlated with the reduction in glomer-ular ®ltration rate (GFR) in humans. However, in a previous
