Despite asymptomatic mild clinical features hosts with infection, serious complications are frequently found patients, especially patients kidney transplantation. Accordingly, BKV-associated nephropathy (BKVN) demonstrates a wide range manifesta...

PURPOSE The aim of this case report is to present the successful clinical treatment of two cases of postoperative infection following maxillary sinus augmentation.

TOPIC Preoperative corneal neovascularization (CNV) is thought to be associated with an increased rate of corneal graft failure and potentially also graft rejection. CLINICAL RELEVANCE New therapeutic options that offer differential influence on the ingrowths or regression of either corneal blood or lymphatic vessels force us to re-evaluate the known data about the role of CNV in keratoplasty...

Although encouraging initial results have been demonstrated after directional atherectomy, the mechanisms and predictors of late lumen loss and restenosis after this procedure have not been evaluated. To examine these issues, clinical and angiographic follow-up were obtained in 262 (96%) and 212 (77%) of 274 patients undergoing successful directional coronary atherectomy. Symptom recurrence dev...

We report the 8-year clinical and radiographic outcome of an adolescent patient with a large osteochondral defect of the lateral femoral condyle, and ipsilateral genu valgum secondary to an epiphyseal injury, managed with autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) and supracondylar re-alignment femoral osteotomy. Long-term clinical success was achieved using this method, illustrating the effecti...

Popliteal artery injury is a very rare complication of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The authors experienced a case of popliteal arterial pseudoaneurysm after re-revision of ACL reconstruction using Rigidfix for femoral tunnel fixation. Pseudoaneurysm was detected in knee magnetic resonance imaging, which caused pain, limit of motion, common peroneal nerve palsy, leg swelling...
