Normalization of cardiovascular risk factors following L-T4 replacement in SCH potentially explains reduced CIMT. Increased carotid and brachial artery diameters and normalized eGFR indicates a haemodynamic effect of L-T4 replacement, the importance of which requires further investigation.
Endovascular grafting of abdominal aortic aneurysms provides a good alternative to open surgery, especially in high-risk patients. Endoleaks are a well-recognized complication and are typically diagnosed on CT. We describe a case in which a patient's endoleak was evaluated by MRI and successfully treated by direct thrombin injection into the site of the leak.
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.
