Three-year clinical follow-up after strontium-90/yttrium-90 beta-irradiation for the treatment of in-stent coronary restenosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Because late vessel failure has been speculated as a possible limitation of vascular brachytherapy, we conducted a prospective clinical evaluation at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months of follow-up after irradiation with strontium-90/yttrium-90 for in-stent restenosis, regardless of the patient's symptomatic

Epicardial neodymium. YAG laser photocoagulation of ventricular tachycardia without ventriculotomy in patients after myocardial infarction.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Surgical ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) after myocardial infarction has been reported by different endocardial approaches. The ventriculotomy may increase mortality of the procedure. RESULTS We report on nine patients who suffered from recurrent VT in the late post-myocardial

Histological Comparison of Kidney Tissue Following Radioembolization with Yttrium-90 Resin Microspheres and Embolization with Bland Microspheres.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Intra-arterial brachytherapy with yttrium-90 (90Y) resin microspheres (radioembolization) is a procedure to selectively deliver high-dose radiation to tumors. The purpose of this research was to compare the radioembolic effect of 90Y-radioembolization versus the embolic effect of bland

Yttrium-90 radioembolization as a possible new treatment for brain cancer: proof of concept and safety analysis in a canine model

Only registered users can translate articles

Purpose: To evaluate the safety, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of yttrium-90 (⁹⁰Y) radioembolization (RE) as a minimally invasive treatment in a canine model with presumed spontaneous brain cancers.

Excimer and holmium yttrium aluminum garnet laser coronary angioplasty.

Only registered users can translate articles

Recently access to the coronary arteries became available to laser angioplasty because of a new technique utilizes a pulsed laser source and multifiber, "over-the-wire" guided catheters. The aim of this study was to evaluate the early and long-term results and the side effects of coronary

Radioembolization with Yttrium-90 microspheres (SIRT) in pancreatic cancer patients with liver metastases: efficacy, safety and prognostic factors.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical efficacy of (90)Y radioembolization in liver metastases from pancreatic cancer, to describe treatment toxicities and to identify biomarkers as predictors of outcome. METHODS Data from 19 pancreatic cancer patients (9 females/10 males) who had received (90)Y

The treatment of malignant endobronchial obstruction with laser ablation.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND We compared a new endoscopic treatment for malignant endobronchial obstruction known as photodynamic therapy (PDT) with the more established therapy of neodymium: yttrium-aluminum garnet laser (Nd:YAG) therapy. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted of the medical records at our

N-butyl cyanoacrylate glue embolization of arterial networks to facilitate hepatic arterial skeletonization before radioembolization.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Avoidance of nontarget microsphere deposition via hepatoenteric anastomoses is essential to the safety of yttrium-90 radioembolization (RE). The hepatic hilar arterial network may remain partially patent after coil embolization of major arteries, resulting in persistent risk. We

Laser-mediated transmural myocardial channels do not salvage acutely ischemic myocardium.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE We sought to determine whether the presence of transmural laser-made channels could provide blood flow to ischemic myocardium. BACKGROUND Laser-made transmural channels have been used in patients to restore blood flow to ischemic myocardium. Whether such channels actually relieve ischemia

Prevention of acute regional ischemia with endocardial laser channels.

Only registered users can translate articles

Laser myocardial revascularization has been shown to reduce mortality and infarct size after left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) ligation in dogs. It has not been shown to improve myocardial contractility in acute ischemia. In this study a holmium-yttrium-aluminum garnet laser

Laparoscopic treatment of acute cholecystitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Retrospective review of the first 210 patients treated by laparoscopic cholecystectomy revealed 55 patients (26%) with acute cholecystitis diagnosed preoperatively or intraoperatively. Average age was 52 years amongst 38 women and 17 men. Cardiac history was present in 4%, pulmonary disease was
