Filter by:The investigators will retrospectively study lumbar spinal stenosis patients who underwent OLIF or MIS-TLIF with percutaneous pedicle screw fixation between January 2016 and December 2019.The investigators will measure estimated blood loss, operative time, hospital stay, cost, reoperation, and complication incidence, visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA), and Short Form-36 (SF-36) scores, discal and foraminal height, lumbar lordotic angle, and fusion status.The investigators will conduct to evaluate postoperative improvements, complications, and reoperation rates between patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) undergoing oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) or minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF).
1. To estimate the importance of bronchoscopic treatment of tracheal stenosis and its effectiveness and safety. 2. To diagnose and evaluate tracheal stenosis characteristics as location, vertical extension and severity of obstruction.
The device involved in this trail is a diagnostic software with a Prospective, Multicenter, Self Controlled design. FFRCT diagnostic performance was calculated by CardioSimFFRct Analysis software, and the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive performance of FFRCT for myocardial ischemia were calculated per-patient level and per-vessel level with invasive FFR value as gold standard.
Metal or plastic biliary stents placement under Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) is a well-established treatment for patients with benign biliary obstruction to relieve jaundice, a palliative treatment for patients with unresectable malignant pancreaticobiliary obstruction and a bridge to surgery for patients with resectable disease. The main limitation of long time plastic stents is stents occlusion. Biliary plastic stents are changed every 2 to 3 months due to an expected median patency from 77 to 126 days.Metal stents present a lower risk of recurring biliary occlusion, yet high cost and stents occlusion are eventually inevitable. The mechanism of biliary stents occlusion include biliary sludge of the accumulation of bacteria and duodenal biliary reflux .The anti-reflux barrier of Oddi's sphincter disappears after the insertion of biliary stents and the pressure in bile duct lowers the duodenale, which cause the retrograde flow of duodenal material into the biliary ducts. Besides, ordinary biliary plastic stent is short which can also shortens the length of duodenal biliary reflux . Therefore, trying to prevent the duodenal biliary reflux is very important in reducing biliary stents occlusion and it is gradually concerned by clinical researchers. Some studies have showed that plastic stents with antireflux valves can effectively reduce the biliary stent stricture and prolong the stents patency, which means reducing duodenobiliary reflux is surely useful for keeping biliary stent patency.So,we assume to explore an innovatively intraintestinal extended biliary stents (reformed with nasobiliary tube ) as substitution for ordinary biliary plastic stent to prevent the duodenobiliary reflux by extending the length of duodenal content reflux and avoid the stents shift via suspending in intrahepatic duct. In this study,we will design a multicenter stratified randomized controlled trial to compare the patency of intraintestinal extended biliary stents and ordinary plastic biliary stents in patients with malignant or benign biliary obstruction respectively and evaluate the effect of intraintestinal extended biliary stents for the prevention of duodenobiliary reflux.
The objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate, in a controlled setting, the long-term (up to 12 months) safety and efficacy of the Solaris Vascular Stent Graft (Scitech) in clinical settings when used according to the indications of the IFU.
To evaluate the efficacy of Intra-lesional triamcinolone injection in the management of refractory benign esophageal Stricture in children.
Prospective study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using buccal mucosal graft for repairing complex cases of iatrogenic pelvi ureteric junction obstruction and long segment ureteric stricture disease.
Vascular access (VA) is the most important for carrying out hemodialysis, yet it may bring in complications and leads to hemodialysis quality decline. This study aimed to explore the impact of vascular access types, including temporary vs.long term hemodialysis catheter on central vein stenosis.
Anastomotic stricture is a common complication following foregut surgery. The standard of care for these benign foregut anastomotic strictures is balloon dilatation. However, re-stenosis of strictures is also common, requiring frequent repetition of balloon dilatation. Cryotherapy is a novel therapy that may improve clinical outcomes following dilatation. The purpose of the present study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial to characterize the impact of cryotherapy on clinical outcomes and complications for benign anastomotic strictures following esophagectomy, gastrectomy, and bariatric surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two minimal invasive spine surgery, minimally invasive spinal decompression (MIS-D) and minimally invasive spinal decompression and fusion (MIS-TLIF), for patients diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis in terms of clinical outcomes, complications, reoperations, and other perioperative data.
