A recent study led by Decan Jiang and colleagues from RWTH Aachen and Heidelberg University Hospitals in Germany has shed light on how porcine models are helping surgical training—particularly in the complex field of kidney transplantation. Pigs are anatomically and physiologically close to humans, making them ideal candidates for surgical training. Practicing renal ...
Background This paper outlines the first in-patient implantation of the EluNIR™ ridaforolimus eluting elastomeric stent (Medinol Ltd.). This complex case involved a patient with a flow-limiting lesion in a native coronary artery post bypass surgery. The new EluNIR stent system includes a stent with a low metal footprint which comprises struts of variable width: ultra-narrow struts having ...

Background: This paper describes a challenging case of implantation of the EluNIR™ Ridaforolimus eluting elastomeric stent (Medinol Ltd.). This complex case involved a patient with a flow-limiting lesion in a native coronary artery post bypass surgery. The new EluNIR stent system includes a stent with a low metal footprint that comprises struts of variable width: ultra-narrow struts ...

Intimal hyperplasia in the outflow vein of TEVGs was assessed at the anastomosis and at juxta-anastomotic regions via histological analysis, and was compared to intimal hyperplasia with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts in the baboon model and in literature reports from other animal models. ...
Background Esophagectomy for cancer involves two- or three-phase procedures, such as abdominal, chest and/or neck incisions, is more invasive than other types of gastrointestinal surgery, and is associated with high risk for postoperative morbidity. Because of this risk, perioperative management of circulatory conditions such as hypovolemic hypotension is especially important to avoid ...
A parents perspective If you have not had the chance to read A Parent’s Perspective: Our Son’s Short Bowel Syndrome Diagnosis, I encourage you to do so. While the goal is to give as much insight into Short Bowel Syndrome as possible, we want to steer clear of the boring clinical information online. From one Short Bowel Parent to another, trust me, you’ll have no better teacher ...
Thus, we thought it best to avoid an anastomosis in an unaffected limb. Therefore, the use of the HAV was requested from and approved by the U.S. ...
Surgeon perception of factors affecting post-operative continence such as quality of bladder neck preservation, nerve sparing, urethral length, anastomosis, striated sphincter thickness, quality of Rocco repair and bladder neck plication suture (total 7 variables) were graded as ‘‘poor’’, ‘‘average’’ or ...
