  2. 1. Aspects on Imaging and Endovascular Treatment of Aortic Dissection and Aneurysm

    Author : Mats-Ola Eriksson; Rickard Nyman; Anders Wanhainen; Johnny Steuer; Mårten Falkenberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Aneurysms; aorta; stents; ultrasound; colour Doppler; vascular; interventional; aortic dissection; complicated; TEVAR; EVAR; re-intervention; survival; thrombosis; false lumen; aortic remodelling; Radiology; Radiologi;

    Abstract : Aortic aneurysm and dissections are potentially life threatening conditions. The advent of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) and thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has reduced perioperative mortality and morbidity and are now established therapy methods for treatment of aortic disease.

  4. 2. Factors influencing outcome in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - Effects of pharmacotherapy, pacing and surgical myectomy

    Author : Davood Javidgonbadi; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy; myectomy; pacing; beta-blocker; survival; sex; re-intervention rate;

    Abstract : Background: Most studies on risk factors for disease-related mortality in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) have emanated from specialized tertiary centres which are subject to possible referral bias. About one quarter of HCM-patients have outflow obstruction in the left ventricle, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). READ MORE

  5. 3. Re-interventions after endovascular aortic repair: clinical and experimental studies

    Author : Håkan Roos; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; EVAR; stent graft; blood flow; displacement forces; aortic aneurysm; angulation; reoperation;

    Abstract : Background: Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) has lower morbidity and mortality than open surgery. Late complications and re-interventions are more common, however, and the timing of different re-interventions and their respective underlying causes are not fully understood. READ MORE

  6. 4. Interventions for portal hypertension in patients with portal vein occlusion and possible effects of a stent-graft on hepatic circulation

    Author : Inger Keussen; Malmö Diagnostisk radiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; recanalization; TIPS; hepatic vein occlusion; children; Key words: portal vein occlusion; scintigraphy; stent; portal hypertension;

    Abstract : Symptomatic portal hypertension (PH), is often treated by transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). Patients with PH, caused by prehepatic portal vein occlusion, require recanalization with stent or stent-graft often followed by additional TIPS. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cholecystectomy : studies on surgical methods, incidence and economy

    Author : Axel Ros; Ulf Haglund; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : After almost a century without change in the surgical care of gallstone disease since the first cholecystectomy in 1882, a profound change in surgical treatment of gallstones has taken place over the last three decades with the introduction of endoscopic sphincterotomy for treatment of bile duct stones (EST), minilaparotomy cholecystectomy (MC), and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). The epidemiology of gallstone surgery has changed since these minimally invasive procedures were introduced. READ MORE
