Acute Thrombotic Mesenteric Ischemia: Primary Endovascular Treatment in Eight Patients

Introduction  

The purpose of this study was to evaluate our experience with initial percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) ± stenting as valuable options in the acute setting.     

Hyperintense acute reperfusion marker on FLAIR is not associated with early haemorrhagic transformation in the elderly

Objectives  

The hyperintense acute reperfusion marker (HARM) has been described as a predictor for haemorrhagic transformation (HT) in acute ischaemic stroke. We hypothesised that this phenomenon is not present in the elderly.     

Utility of diffusion-weighted imaging in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis

Objectives  

To evaluate the value of diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.     

Endovascular Treatment of Acute Arterial Hemorrhage in Trauma Patients Using Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer (Onyx)

Percutaneous Cholecystostomy as a First-Line Therapy in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients with Acute Cholecystitis with Midterm Follow-up

Purpose  

The purpose of this article was to share midterm results of percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) as a first-line therapy in chronic hemodialysis patients with acute cholecystitis.     

Thrombolysis and thromboaspiration for acute thromboembolic occlusion in the upper extremity

Purpose  

To report technical aspects of thrombolysis and thromboaspiration for acute thromboembolic occlusion in the upper extremity.     

Contrast-fluid level in the inferior vena cava (IVC niveau sign) in patients with acute type A aortic dissection: computed tomography findings during acute cardiac tamponade

Purpose  

The purpose of this study was to report a new computed tomography (CT) finding in acute cardiac tamponade: a contrast-fluid level in the hepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) during an arterial dominant phase CT study (IVC niveau sign) in patients with acute type A aortic dissection.     

Accelerated BMIPP uptake immediately after reperfused ischemia in the isolated rat heart model

Objective  

¹²³I-beta-methyl iodophenyl pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) can visualize myocardial fatty acid metabolism and has extensive potential for diagnosing cardiac diseases such as acute coronary syndrome in the clinical setting. Increased BMIPP uptake with decreased perfusion occasionally occurs under acute reperfusion ischemia and the kinetics of BMIPP remain unclear. The present study uses the isolated rat heart model to measure kinetic changes in BMIPP under acute reperfusion ischemia.     

Acute appendicitis: prospective evaluation of a diagnostic algorithm integrating ultrasound and low-dose CT to reduce the need of standard CT

Objectives  

To evaluate an algorithm integrating ultrasound and low-dose unenhanced CT with oral contrast medium (LDCT) in the assessment of acute appendicitis, to reduce the need of conventional CT.     

CT angiography helps to differentiate acute from chronic carotid occlusion: the “carotid ring sign”

Introduction  

Currently, there is no reliable method to differentiate acute from chronic carotid occlusion. We propose a novel CTA-based method to differentiate acute from chronic carotid occlusions that could potentially aid clinical management of patients.     

Derivation of a T2-weighted MRI total colonic inflammation score (TCIS) for assessment of patients with severe acute inflammatory colitis��a preliminary study

Objective  

To derive an MRI score for assessing severity, therapeutic response and prognosis in acute severe inflammatory colitis.     

Tibiofibular syndesmosis in acute ankle fractures: additional value of an oblique MR image plane

Objective  

To evaluate the additional value of a 45° oblique MRI scan plane for assessing the anterior and posterior distal tibiofibular syndesmotic ligaments in patients with an acute ankle fracture.

Objectives:  

To evaluate technical success rate and clinical outcome of patients with acute embolic superior mesenteric artery (SMA) occlusion who were treated with primary percutaneous revascularization.     

Carotid stenting in acute ischemic stroke patients with intraluminal thrombus

Introduction  

Carotid stenosis with intraluminal thrombus is associated with a high risk of early recurrent stroke. We evaluated the feasibility and outcome of carotid stenting in acute ischemic stroke patients with carotid stenosis and intraluminal thrombus.     

Quantification of renal allograft perfusion using arterial spin labeling MRI: initial results
