Filter by:The purpose of this research is to evaluate the use of Mepitel Film® in preventing radiation epidermitis in patients receiving radiation treatment for breast cancer. Mepitel® Film is a thin, flexible, waterproof, and breathable film made of a soft silicone layer and polyurethane film. Mepitel ® film is not made with natural rubber latex (NRL). It is FDA approved for the management of superficial wounds, such as superficial burns. As a part of this research study, the Mepitel Film® will be placed prior to participant's first radiation treatment, and will be removed one week following the end of treatment. Throughout the study, information will be collected to analyze at the end of the research study to determine if the Mepitel Film® helps prevent skin breakdown. The subjects will be followed per standard of care and examined for skin redness, warmth or swelling as normally examined and cared for during standard radiation therapy. If radiation burns are noted, the subject will be treated normally and depending on the severity of the radiation burns, may be removed from the study treatment and treated through standard of care.
This is a randomized prospective monocentric study to evaluate the benefits of a 3D rotational acquisition (3DRA) to assess technical success after treatment of infra-renal aneurysm with bifurcated endograft. Patients will be randomized between the standard strategy (2D angiography at the end of the procedure and angioCT-scan before discharge) and the new strategy (3DRA at the end of the procedure). Expected findings are a reduction of radiation exposure and contrast medium used during the hospital stay, with a similar resolution between angioCT-scan and 3DRA to depict the main complications after EVAR (occlusion, kinking, endoleak). Furthermore, any complication depicted after 3DRA group could benefit from an additional procedure during the same operating time, and therefore avoid a second intervention for the patient.
