Abstract

To report the mid term results of a prospective cohort of iliac artery aneurysms (IAAs) treated with endovascular tubular stent-grafts. All IAAs referred to the University Medical Center Groningen between June 1998 and June 2005 were evaluated for endovascular repair. Criteria for repair were a diameter of > or = 30 mm for anastomotic aneurysms and > or = 35 mm for true aneurysms. Preferentially, tubular grafts were used. Follow-up included both radiographs of the abdomen and duplex examination. In 35 patients, 40 IAAs were treated endovascularly with a tubular stent-graft. Elective repair was performed in 30 patients (86%) and emergent repair in five patients (14%). Aneurysms were false in 26 cases (65%) and true in 14 cases (35%). Local anesthesia was used in 74% of the cases. The stent-grafts that were used included the Excluder contralateral limb (n = 28, 70%), Passager (n = 9, 22.5%), Hemobahn (n = 2, 5%), and Wallgraft (n = 1, 2.5%). The mean operation time was 83 +/- 28 minutes (range, 50 to 150 minutes). Mean hospital stay was 3.3 +/- 2.3 days (range, 1 to 12 days). There was no 30-day mortality. Patients were followed up for a mean of 31.2 +/- 20.7 months (range, 3 to 83 months). Complications occurred in two patients ...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
