In this meta-analysis comparing DES with BMS use in PCI of SVG lesions, DES use was associated with improved mortality, MACE, TLR, and TVR. There was no evidence of increased risk of myocardial infarction or stent thrombosis.
This is the first case of Fanconi syndrome reported after the administration of capecitabine, irinotecan, and bevacizumab. More studies are needed to confirm this association.
The AngioVac suction cannula and circuit were designed for the percutaneous removal of soft thrombus and emboli in procedures requiring extracorporeal circulatory support. We describe a modification of the AngioVac suction catheter and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit to effectively remove thrombus while maintaining the ability to rapidly initiate full CPBs during a medical crisis. This article will discuss the design concepts of the modified circuit as well as procedural protocols and considerations. The design modifications of incorporating an oxygenator, reservoir, and bridge allow for an increased flexibility that allows adaption to veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or full CPB support when required for oxygenation or hemodynamic support.
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.
