Carotid anastomosis using diode lasers of different wavelengths and the evaluation of the arterial wall resistance in swine
Journal Title: International Journal of Vascular Surgery and Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: due to the advantages of Laser Assisted Vascular Anastomosis (less occurrence of myointimal hyperplasia with better hemodynamic evolution, shorter surgical time, absence of diameter incompatibility, absence of anaphylaxis, easy execution) the evaluation of the ideal diode laser wavelength to perform anastomosis in elastic arteries, without solder, is a great advance in the surgical practice.

Comparison of MELD and Child-Pugh Score for the Prediction of Survival in Portal Hypertension Undergoing Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt
Objectives: Recently, the model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) was proposed for the prediction of survival in transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) patients. We therefore compared the prognostic accura...
Management of a Common Iliac Artery Aneurysm Causing Contralateral Iliac Venous Thrombosis
A 73-year-old male patient was diagnosed with thrombotic obstruction of the left common iliac vein (LCIV). Computed tomography imaging revealed a known -under follow-up- isolated aneurysm of the right common iliac artery...
