US-guided percutaneous injection of thrombin is successful and safe in the management of femoral pseudoaneurysms. The increase of thrombin-antithrombin III complex indicates the possibility of thrombin passage into the arterial circulation.
The angiographic outcome at 6 months did not show a significant difference between BMS and SES. Renal artery stenting with both stents significantly improved blood pressure. Future studies with a larger patient population and longer angiographic follow-up are warranted to determine if there is a significant benefit of drug-eluting stents in treating ostial renal artery stenosis.
The Misago rapid-exchange nitinol stent showed promising efficacy and safety results, with a low stent fracture rate, in patients with femoropopliteal disease, making it a safe and reliable treatment option.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
