Routine Cardiac Catheterization Prior to Fontan Operation: Is It a Necessity? Prior to the Fontan procedure, patients with single ventricle physiology with Glenn shunt are typically referred for cardiac catheterization to assess hemo... B Mohammad Nijres,JJ Murphy,K Diab,... - 《Pediatric ...
The preference of a JJ stent over a nephro-stent is strongly recommended. Isthmectomy is unnecessary as the same outcomes can be achieved with less morbidity. Conclusions Laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty for a PUJO in a horseshoe kidney is a very effective and safe procedure. However, ...
Longer hospital stay and adjunctive procedures (most commonly the insertion of a JJ stent) were more common when primary treatment was URS. Complications were reported in 11 out of 22 studies. In eight studies, it was possible to report this as a Clavien-Dindo Grade. Higher complication rates...

IVUS studies have shown the mechanisms of lumen enlargement with balloon angioplasty, atherectomy, and stent implantation. IVUS studies have also shown the mechanisms of restenosis. Therapeutic ultrasound (thrombolysis with adjunctive ultrasound and ultrasound-assisted local gene therapy) is promising....
.When the FDA first approved DES on the basis of 9-month clinical trials, the risk of stent thrombosis did not appear to be increased, compared with the risk with BMS.6,7 Recent postmarket surveillance studies, however, suggest that the risk of late stent thrombosis with DES is increased,...
In early September, Alcon announced the voluntary global market withdrawal of the CyPass Micro-Stent due to concerns of progressive ECL. Any time patient safety is of concern, erring on the side of caution is the preferred approach. We applaud Alcon’s swift handling of the situation. Th...

Endovascular sealing is based on the principle that a close interaction between the stent graft and the aortic wall is needed to exclude the aneurysm sac. Thrombus, calcification, short length, and gutters violate this principle. Selection of the landing zone has significant ramifications on endovascu...
