Abstract Background Recent guidelines recommend against deferred stenting as a routine strategy in STEMI patients. Objectives Current study aimed to assess whether primary PCI might reduce angiographic or in-hospital major adverse cardiac events comparison immediate stenting. Methods one hundred patients of with high thrombus burden divided equally into; 50 (group 1) treated and 2) Procedural w...

The aim of the present study was to determine the ventilation/perfusion ratio that contributes to hypoxemia in pulmonary embolism by analyzing blood gases and volumetric capnography in a model of experimental acute pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolization with autologous blood clots was induced in seven pigs weighing 24.00 +/- 0.6 kg, anesthetized and mechanically ventilated. Significant chan...

Objective: To study the efficacy of middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization for treatment chronic subdural hematoma (SDH) and characterize its post-embolization volumetric resolution. Methods: Ten patients diagnosed with 13 cSDH underwent MMA embolization. SDH volumes were measured from time initial discovery on imaging to pre-operative, post-operative, short-term long-term follow-up. Time b...
