Laparoscopic Management of Malfunctioning Peritoneal Dialysis Catheters
Objectives: Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is an established alternative method to hemodialysis for treating endstage renal disease patients. Malfunction of the peritoneal catheter is a frequent complication in peritoneal dialysis (PD). Laparoscopy is a minimal invasive technique that allows rescue therapy of malfunctioning catheters and consecutive immediate resumption of PD....
متن کاملUse of laparoscopy in the management of malfunctioning peritoneal dialysis catheters.
The proper function of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters can be compromised by catheter malposition, fibrin clot, or omental wrapping. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of laparoscopy in the treatment of malfunctioning PD catheters. All patients undergoing laparoscopy for catheter dysfunction at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio, from 1991 to 1995, were review...
متن کاملLeft ventricular rupture without obstructive coronary artery disease.
A 48-year old man complained of dyspnoea and palpitation for 6 h. There was no history of trauma and angina. The initial ECG and laboratory tests showed no evidence of myocardial infarction. Computed tomographic angiography revealed left ventricular free wall rupture while coronary angiography was negative. Surgical intervention was carried out, and the perforation was repaired (Figs 1 and 2). ...
متن کاملModel-Guided Placement of Cerebral Ventricular Catheters
Purpose: Freehand placement of external ventricular drainage is not sufficiently accurate and precise. In the absence of high quality pre-operative 3D images, we propose the use of an average model for guidance of ventricular catheters. Methods: The model was segmented to extract the ventricles and registered to five normal volunteers using a combination of landmark based and surface based regi...
متن کاملEvaluation of Right Ventricular Function by Tissue Doppler Echocardiography in Asthmatic Children
BackgroundAsthma is the most chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in children and asthmatic patients can experience cardiac dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension and finally cor pulmonale later in life. We aimed to investigate Right Ventricular (RV) functions in asthmatic children by conventional and tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE).Materials and Methods Pulmonary function tests, con...
