Filter by:The objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of 3M™ Cavilon™ Advanced Skin Protectant when used in the management of damaged skin exposed to caustic body fluids from an ostomy, drain site or fistula.
Here investigators will carry out this phase II clinical trial to explore a effective therapeutic regimen of MSC in the Crohn's perianal fistula.
Evaluation of the incidence of palatal fistula in Furlow double-opposing z-plasty versus two-flap palatoplasty for cleft palate repair.
Our study seeks to define the effect of each component of the distal revascularization interval ligation (DRIL) procedure on the in vivo distal blood pressure of patients with ischemic steal, and to determine whether the interval ligation component of the DRIL procedure is necessary or not.
Peripheral regional anesthesia induces a sympathectomy-like effect with neurovascular changes causing increased arterial blood flow and venodilatation . Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can be applied to different kinds of tissue providing oxygen saturation by detecting the absorption and reflection of near-infrared light . The effect on peripheral tissue oxygenation in patients undergoing arteriovenous fistula revision has not yet been examined. We postulate an increase in tissue oxygenation by sympathicolysis caused by peripheral regional anesthesia that might be the reason for beneficial outcome. The aim of our study was to demonstrate the effect of a supraclavicular plexus block in this group of patients.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the IN.PACT™ AV Access Drug Coated Balloon (DCB) compared to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for treatment of subjects presenting with de novo or non-stented restenotic obstructive lesion of native arteriovenous dialysis fistulae (AVF) in the upper extremity.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of drug-eluting balloons is effective in the treatment of (re)stenosis in dialysis fistulae.
This study evaluates the use of extending time of continual urinary drainage (using transurethral foley catheter) for patients with early failures of vesicovaginal fistula repairs. Half of those included will be randomized to replacement of foley catheter for a length of 14 additional days, while the other half will be discharged (no intervention). Both groups will be examined for outcomes at 3 months post-repair.
The investigators aim to evaluate chewing function in children with repaired esophageal atresia-tracheoesophageal fistula (EA-TEF). Patients with repaired EA-TEF will be evaluated for age, sex, type of atresia. Each child will be required to bite and chew a standardized biscuit. Chewing function will be scored with the Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale (KCPS). The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) will be used to determine the tolerated food texture of children.
Spinal arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex neurosurgical lesions that are very challenging to manage. Spinal vascular malformations account for 3%-4% of all intradural spinal cord mass lesions. Over the last few decades our understanding of these lesions has dramatically increased thanks to neuroimaging technology (e.g. spinal angiography and indocyanine green angiography). Various treatment modalities including conservative observation, endovascular embolization, microsurgical resection, radiation therapy, and combined therapies have been reported. The treatment for these AVMs and AVFs depends on their location, the type of malformation, the area of the spine involved, and the condition of the patient at the time of treatment. Due to the rarity of these spinal vascular lesions, reports of their management and outcomes have been limited to small series and case reports. And the rates of obliteration and outcomes are not satisfactory, especially the spinal AVMs. Spinal vascular lesions are rare but represent a formidable challenge for the treating neurosurgeon.The purpose of this study is to establish multimodality treatment mode and evaluate the anatomical cure rate and functional preservation rate.
