The correlation described by obtained equations between pelvimetry parameters and the quality of TME represents a new tool for use in preoperative decision-making with regard to resection via the transanal approach (TaTME).
Primary endovascular therapy for acute embolic SMA occlusion with on-demand laparotomy is a recommended algorithm used in our centre to treat SMA occlusion. This combined approach for the treatment of AMI is associated with in-hospital mortality rate of 27.0 %.
Horseshoe kidney complicates aortic aneurysm surgery in 1 of 200 cases. A patient with asymptomatic juxtarenal aortic aneurysm associated with a horseshoe kidney was successfully treated by stent graft placement. The kidney was supplied by 4 renal arteries. The proximal uncovered part of the stent graft was anchored across the origin of 1 renal artery. Another renal artery, arising from the aneurysmal sac, was occluded by the covered part of the stent graft. A kidney infarction developed postoperatively, which did not affect renal function or blood pressure. The patient was discharged from the hospital in good condition. Follow-up computed tomography and angiography confirmed a satisfactory result of the endovascular treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
