Dissolution behaviour and imageability of ternary borate glasses for use in geniculate artery embolization

Geniculate artery embolization for recurrent postarthroplasty hemarthrosis of the knee

Hemarthrosis after total knee arthroplasty is an uncommon condition. We present a unique case of recurrent hemarthrosis in a 93-year-old woman two years after an uneventful total knee arthroplasty and describe how we successfully treated her with selective angiographic embolization of the geniculate arteries.

THERAPEUTIC EMBOLIZATION OF BRONCHIAL ARTERY FOR MASSIVE HEMOPTYSIS

34 bronchial and 13 intercostal arteries were selectively embolized in 27 patients. The most frequent predisposing factor was either active or residual pulmonary tuberculosis. The procedure was performed with Urografin as the contrast agent, cobra shaped or headhunter catheters, and gelfoam (no. 18) or Ivalon (no. 9) particles. The most common anatomic pattern was a common bonchial artery ...

Mechanical Properties of Alkali Borate Glasses

A GLASS is, formally, a solid that solidifies without a well-defined melting point— defined as a singular temperature at which there occurs a discontinuous change in a physical property, for example specific volume, during transition between a liquid state and its corresponding solid state—but instead exhibits a continuous change in that property over a range of temperature. Glasses tend to inh...

Bronchial Artery Embolization for Massive Hemoptysis: a Retrospective Study

  Introduction: To assess the efficacy and safety of bronchial artery embolization in the treatment of massive hemoptysis.   Materials and Methods: A retrospective study on 46 patients (26 males and 20 females) who were referred to the Razavi Hospital from April 2009 to May 2012 with massive hemoptysis and had bronchial artery embolization procedures. General characteristics of the patients inc...
