section findings or final surgical staging (p>0.05 Cohen's Kappa) with a tendency for upstaging patients preoperatively. Conclusions: Although there is a tendency to preoperatively upstage patients using either ultrasound of MRI, our results favour the agreement between these two exams. Preoperative TVS might reasonably be proposed as a method for staging early endometrial cancer, especially if performed by a gynecologist with advanced ultrasound skills.
Blunt aortic injury (BAI) as a result of thoracic trauma is a rare entity in the adult and pediatric population. The endovascular approach has been the preferred method of management over operative repair in adults. However, data on pediatrics is limited to case reports and case series with no long-term follow-up. There are no current guidelines for management in the pediatric population. We are reporting a successful repair of a traumatic thoracic aortic aneurysm in a 13 year old boy with covered stents, with a review of relevant literature.
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.
