Influence of portal vein occlusion on portal flow and liver elasticity in an animal model [PDF]
NMR in Biomedicine, Wiley, 2021, pp.e4498, 2021 Hepatic fibrosis causes an increase in liver stiffness, a parameter measured by elastography and widely used as a diagnosis method. The concomitant presence of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) implies a change in hepatic portal inflow that could also affect liver elasticity.

Lumen Shape Reconstruction using a Soft Robotic Balloon Catheter and Electrical Impedance Tomography [PDF]
, 2022 Incorrectly sized balloon catheters can lead to increased post-surgical complications, yet even with preoperative imaging, correct selection remains a challenge. With limited feedback during surgery, it is difficult to verify correct deployment. We propose the use of integrated impedance measurements and Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) imaging to

A multiscale model of vascular function in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension [PDF]
, 2021 Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is caused by recurrent or unresolved pulmonary thromboemboli, leading to perfusion defects and increased arterial wave reflections. CTEPH treatment aims to reduce pulmonary arterial pressure and reestablish adequate lung perfusion, yet patients with distal lesions are inoperable by standard surgical

Merit of Zone III Resuscitative Endovascular Occlusion of the Aorta under Real-Time Fluoroscopy in Hybrid ER: A Case of REBOA in Traumatic Cardiac Arrest [PDF]
Journal of Trauma and Injury, 2020 Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a novel technique to maintain proximal arterial pressure. It is important to locate the balloon catheter correctly in performing REBOA but it is inaccurate to check the catheter ...

Removal of a Foley catheter misplaced into the ureter by percutaneous puncture: a rare case report
BMC Urology, 2022 Background The incidence of aberrant catheterization into a ureter is extremely low, and there is a 20% chance that the balloon cannot be deflated. Regrettably, the mechanism underlying this complication remains unknown.
