Carotid artery stenting is widely performed for extracranial carotid artery stenosis. In-stent thrombosis is a rare but potentially devastating complication. We present a case of acute in-stent thrombosis immediately following stent insertion and post-balloon dilatation in a 64-year-old male. Thrombosis was successfully treated by intravenous tirofiban, a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitor.

OBJECTIVES To determine thresholds for the fetal renal pelvic anterior-posterior diameter (APD) predicting postnatal clinically relevant pelvicaliceal dilatation. METHODS One hundred and forty-eight infants whose prenatal sonography had identified an isolated uni- or bilateral fetal APD of > or = 4 mm before 33 and/or > or = 7 mm after 33 weeks' gestational age were investigated postnatally. ...

background: difficulty in cervical dilatation is a hard situation during the procedure of diagnostic dilatation and curettage in some cases. this study was performed to evaluate the effect of vaginal misoprostol for cervical priming before diagnostic dilatation and curettage. methods: in this study 56 women were selected as the candidates for dilatation and curettage. the study was double blind...

the goals of post-transplant management are to manage and treat postoperative complications, and develop a balanced long-term immunotherapy regimen that minimizes infection and side effects but controls rejection. while modern immunosuppressant regimes have reduced rates of graft loss due to rejection, they impart major risks for infection, growth failure, metabolic complications, and malignanc...

Background: Abnormal uterine Bleeding (AUB) is one of the most common gynecological disorders. Dilatation and curettage is a diagnostic procedure in the management of AUB. Definite treatments such as hysterectomy may be applied based on the results of dilatation and curettage. This study was conducted to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of dilatation and curettage. Materials and method...

background: the treatment of urethral stricture in female patients is through dilatation of the urethra by tubes of increasing diameter. there are two main methods: intermittent dilatation and on demand dilatation. objectives: the main aim of this study was to compare the results of these two methods, and to determine the best one. patients and methods: in this clinical trial study, we reviewed...

percutaneous dilatation tracheostomy (pdt) is one of the most frequent interventions in ventilator dependant icu patients. ciaglia and griggs are two common pdt techniques. few studies are available comparing these two methods, but there is no data available to compare these two techniques in iranian population. the aim of this study was to compare ciaglia and griggs technique in our population...
