Hace 10 horas · Background and Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the mid-term effectiveness and safety of a combined ultrasound (US) and fluoroscopy (FL)-guided approach in comparison to US-guided and FL-guided caudal epidural steroid injections (CESI) for treating unilateral lower lumbar radicular pain. Materials and Methods: A total of 154 patients who underwent CESI between 2018 and 2022 were included.
Hace 10 horas · However, as the application of machine learning for the detection of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) in this paper’s case study reveals, there are some scenarios where an insistence on keeping humans in the loop (or in other words, the resistance to automation) seems unwarranted and could possibly lead us to miss out on very real and important opportunities in healthcare—particularly in low ...
Hace 10 horas · Ole De Backer presents NOTION-2 trial results at EuroPCR. Analysis of one-year results from the NOTION-2 trial, in which investigators compared transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in younger, low-risk patients, point towards less favourable outcomes after TAVI in patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis.
Hace 10 horas · In severe aortic stenosis, the long-term mortality or disabling stroke risk of TAVR is similar to SAVR, but with higher risk of pacemaker implantation, especially with self-expanding valves. As compared with SAVR, the relative reduction in death or stroke risk and valve thrombosis was greater with self-expanding than with balloon-expandable valves.
Hace 10 horas · Dumon et al. reported a mucostasis frequency of 5.7% for silicone stents used for tracheal stenosis; Brichet et al. reported mucostasis in 5 of 18 patients stented due to postintubation tracheal stenosis ; and Karush and colleagues identified mucus accumulation as the most frequent cause of reintervention in patients with silicone stents placed for benign central airway stenosis (60%, 131/220) .
Hace 10 horas · Edited by: Karolyn Judge. Sciatica can be caused by various conditions affecting the spine, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease and piriformis syndrome. Surgical treatment options for sciatica include microdiscectomy, laminectomy and spinal fusion, depending on the underlying cause and severity of the symptoms.
Hace 10 horas · If left untreated, 50% of patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis can die from heart failure in as little as two years. As pioneers in cardiovascular health since 1956, doctors at the UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute in central Pennsylvania were the first in the region to perform open heart surgery and the first to perform coronary artery balloon angioplasty.
