Three-dimensional reconstruction of New Zealand rabbit antebrachium by multidetector computed tomography
The aim of this study was to reveal biometric peculiarities of New Zealand white rabbit antebrachium (radius and ulna) by means of three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) images. Under general anesthesia, the antebrachiums of a total of sixteen rabbits of both sexes were scanned with a general diagnostic MDCT. Biometric measurements of the reconstructed...
متن کاملThe CardioWest total artificial heart for chronic heart transplant rejection.
Mechanical circulatory support has been used to treat graft failure after heart transplantation, but in patients who needed mechanical circulatory support because of chronic rejection, we have suffered from the treatment because its outcome was catastrophic. Multiple organ failure was often caused by the addition of or increase in immunosuppressive medications, and it is known as a cause of the...
متن کاملImplanted Jarvik 2000 FlowMaker left ventricular assist device: three-dimensional computed tomography reconstruction.
A 45-year-old man with recurrence of acute HF due to end-stage dilatative cardiomyopathy, evolving from hy-pertrophic non-obstructive cardiomyopathy, despite maximal medical therapy and mitral-annuloplasty (Carpentier Physio N 30), underwent a Jarvik 2000 FlowMaker implantation (Fig. 1). Heart transplantation was contra-indicated due to severe fixed pulmonary hypertension (11 UW). Fig. 1. A pos...
متن کاملSurgical implantation of the CardioWest Total Artificial Heart.
The CardioWest Total Artificial Heart (CW-TAH) is a pneumatically driven pump that completely replaces the patient’s native ventricles orthotopically. The device weighs 160 g and consists of two artificial ventricles, four Medtronic Hall tilting disk valves, two membranes, and two drivelines tunneled through the skin, which connect the ventricles to an external console generating pulsatile flow...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Computed Tomography Reconstruction for Revision Parathyroidectomy
A 57-year-old man presented with persistent hyperparathyroidism following primary parathyroidectomy. A four-dimensional computed tomography scan with three-dimensional reconstruction showed two parathyroid glands (one right and one left) and anatomic variation from previous surgery. Revision surgery was performed revealing the parathyroid glands as expected from the preoperative three-dimension...
