Impact of Ceiling Suspended Shield Size on Primary Operator Radiation Dose During Coronary Angiography and Intervention

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Reducing radiation exposure to staff performing coronary angiography and intervention is an occupational health and safety priority for hospitals. We demonstrate that a larger lead acrylic shield, with lead rubber pleats on the lower edge will reduce radiation exposure to the cardiologist performing the procedure by approximately 40%. We recommend that

Saphenous vein graft aneurysm formation in a patient with idiopathic multiple aneurysms

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2018
True aneurysmal vein graft dilation is rare, and its etiology remains speculative. However, systemic dilation diathesis is regarded as a risk factor. We herein report a case of a rapidly expanding aneurysm in a great saphenous vein graft, resulting in ...

Vascular Reconstruction in Extremity Soft Tissue Sarcomas: A Systematic Review and Single‐Arm Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The management of extremity soft tissue sarcomas (STS) involving major vessels presents unique challenges, historically leading to amputation. Advances in vascular reconstruction have enabled limb‐sparing surgery (LSS), but outcomes and perioperative risks remain uncertain.

Polyglycolic Acid Polymer Versus Porcine Small Intestine Submucosa Graft After Plaque Incision in Peyronie's Disease: A Comparative Study

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Peyronie's disease (PD) with severe penile curvature often requires surgical correction through plaque incision and grafting (PIG). Objectives To compare surgical outcomes between polyglycolic acid polymer grafts and porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) grafts in patients undergoing PIG for PD.

A Retrospective Study of Adult and Pediatric D‐Dimer Tests to Identify Opportunities for Improved Utilization

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction D‐dimers are produced by lysis of cross‐linked fibrin. In children, D‐dimer testing is used to evaluate disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and some inflammatory states, but its use is not validated for screening or ruling out suspected venous thromboembolic events (VTE).

Ventricular Fibrillation Due to Aortocoronary Vein Graft Spasm During Angiography

JACC: Case Reports, 2021
A 69-year-old man underwent coronary angiography 7 years after coronary artery bypass. Saphenous vein graft spasm was observed during contrast injection, resulting in ventricular fibrillation. Angiography 6 years later showed graft patency.
