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, ...
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....
The development of SVD is thought to be related to both prosthesis characteristics such as anticalcification treatments, stent and leaflet design, and transvalvular gradients, as well as clinical factors such as infection, patient age (with younger patients experiencing more immune-related leaflet ...

is highly prevalent, only a small number of women have a persistent HPV infection and subsequently develop clinically significant disease. There is emerging evidence which leads us to conclude that increased diversity of vaginal microbiota combined with reduced relative abundance ofLactobacillusspp. is ...
Quality improvement is an international priority, and health organisations invest heavily in this endeavour. Little, however, is known of the role and perspectives of Quality Improvement Managers who are responsible for quality improvement implementation
While bleeding was thought to be a necessary side effect and of little clinical significance in the past, it is now clear that bleeding is an independent predictor of adverse ischemic events and mortality. The mechanisms underlying this relationship are not yet fully elucidated and are likely ...
Cirrhosis is associated with global homodynamic changes, but the majority of the complications are usually manifested through the gastrointestinal tract. T
To understand common complications of post-endovascular stent-graft placement 19.1 Introduction Aortic aneurysmal disease of the thoracic and abdominal aorta is a potentially life-threatening disease and requires besides preventive measures early detection of the disease and if present for the patient-tailor...
