Fully Automatic and Real-Time Catheter Segmentation in X-Ray Fluoroscopy [PDF]

International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, 2017
Augmenting X-ray imaging with 3D roadmap to improve guidance is a common strategy. Such approaches benefit from automated analysis of the X-ray images, such as the automatic detection and tracking of instruments.

Bronchoscopy Robot with Enhanced Flexibility and Stability via Multi‐Segment Variable Stiffness Catheter

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a magnetic bronchoscopy robot with a novel multi‐segment variable stiffness catheter. This catheter can not only move flexibly in the narrow bronchi but also harden according to the need to provide support. Combined with remote wireless magnetic field drive, it provides a more precise and effective solution for biopsy of deep lung ...

Ultrasound versus C-arm fluoroscopic-guided subarachnoid block in patients with predicted difficulty for subarachnoid block posted for infraumbilical surgeries: A prospective randomized controlled study

Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia
Background: Subarachnoid block (SAB) is a preferred anesthetic technique for infraumbilical surgeries. However, in obese patients, landmark identification for SAB can be difficult, increasing the risk of procedural failure and complications.

Feasibility of zero or near zero fluoroscopy during catheter ablation procedures

Cardiology Journal, 2019
Background Awareness of risks associated with radiation exposure to patients and medical staff has significantly increased. It has been reported before that the use of advanced three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping (EAM) system significantly ...

Dual Labral and Ligamentum Teres Reconstruction Achieves High Functional Outcomes and Arthroplasty‐Free Survivorship at 2 Years

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate the clinical outcomes and survivorship of hip arthroscopy with simultaneous labral and ligamentum teres (LT) reconstruction for the treatment of irreparable labral and LT tears, with a minimum follow‐up of 2 years. Methods Prospectively collected data were retrospectively reviewed for patients who underwent combined arthroscopic ...

Radiation Training, Radiation Protection and Fluoroscopy Utilization Practices Amongst United States Therapeutic Endoscopists

Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 2019
BackgroundFluoroscopy use during ERCP exposes patients and providers to deleterious effects of radiation. Formal training in fluoroscopy/radiation protection is not widely emphasized during therapeutic endoscopy training, and radiation use during GI ...

Lateral and Anterior Closing Wedge “9/9” Degree Osteotomy to Correct Both Tibia Vara and Excessive Tibial Slope

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract High tibial osteotomy is a key option for patients with unicompartmental overload or instability. Although coronal correction for varus deformity is well established, excessive posterior tibial slope (PTS) is increasingly recognized as a contributor to anterior cruciate ligament graft failure.

Mechanical Tricuspid Valve Thrombosis Successfully Treated With Tissue Plasminogen Activator

JACC: Case Reports
Prosthetic mechanical valve thrombosis has traditionally been managed with urgent surgical intervention. However, the risk of redo sternotomy can be prohibitively high in some patients.

Repositioned Kirschner Wires as a Temporary Metaphyseal Block to Prevent Articular Extension During Opening‐Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Lateral hinge fracture is a frequent complication of medial opening‐wedge high tibial osteotomy. Previous strategies—such as inserting an additional third Kirschner wire (K‐wire) from the lateral tibial cortex—reinforce the lateral cortex but do not address the potential fracture line that propagates proximally toward the tibial plateau and ...

Operative Fixation of a Lateral Acromion Fracture in a Native Shoulder Using Nice Knot Suture Cerclage

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Acromion fractures are challenging injuries to manage. Nonoperative treatment for nondisplaced fractures can yield satisfactory outcomes for most patients. Displaced acromion fractures can be difficult to manage given the vector of displacement and limited bone for fixation. There is no consensus on surgical approach to these fractures as they
