Filter by:Distal radial access (DRA) in the anatomical snuffbox (AS) is a relatively novel approach that can be considered an alternative to trans radial access (TRA) for coronary procedures. Several observational and randomized studies have established its feasibility and safety, with evidence of certain advantages over TRA, such as a reduction in hemostasis time, a lower incidence of complications at the puncture site, and a lower incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO). Notwithstanding that a recent randomized study reported a similar RAO rate between DRA and TRA, several meta-analyzes confirm the advantages of DRA, despite a consistently higher crossover rate. The objective of this observational study is to assess the performance of the procedure and to compare clinical characteristics in an all-comer population undergoing diagnostic or interventional coronary procedures. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Determine the success rate of DRA and measure the incidence of RAO in an all-comer population undergoing coronary procedures. - Compare the clinical and anatomical characteristics of patients with DRA for coronary procedures and determine predictors of failure of access.
Chronic Subdural Hematomas (cSHD) are common, and due to cerebral compression, often result in neurological impairment and reduced consciousness. Surgery is typically performed once neurological symptoms develop. Recent studies suggest that arteries nourished by the middle meningeal artery (MMA) may be responsible for hematoma progression and that MMA embolization is clinically useful. There is less evidence, that embolization of MMA also may be a treatment option for individuals without surgical treatment. The investigators propose a multicentre study to investigate both potentials: (1) Assessment of efficacy of embolization after surgery to reduce recurrence and improve outcomes by conducting a randomized trial (randomization arms; Arms 1 and 2), (2) Assessment of embolization-alone efficacy when surgery is contraindicated or refused (embolization-only arm, Arms 3 and 4).
Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is commonly managed through burr hole evacuation. This study evaluates the feasibility of trans burr hole sonography as an alternative postoperative imaging modality. A pilot study on 20 patients who underwent burr hole surgery for CSDH was therefore planned. Postoperative imaging included both CT and sonographic examinations through the burr hole. We assessed the ability to measure residual subdural fluid thickness sonographically compared to CT.
Chronic subdural hematomas are frequent neurosurgical issues that are most often treated with burr hole craniectomies to drain the subdural fluid. At the chronic stage, a subdural hematoma is more liquified and easily washed out through burr hole openings. However, it often requires frequent imaging and monitoring to ensure that fluid does not reaccumulate in the subdural space, that the washout was adequate, and that further intervention/repeat intervention is not required, particularly if the patient develops acute changes in neurologic status or lacks improvement in initial symptomatology. Therefore, these patients require multiple repeated CT head images during their inpatient and post-operative follow-up course. This leads to high radiation doses to patients and high-cost burden. The Longeviti ClearFit Cover was developed to allow for ultrasound imaging through the implanted cover. The skull's acoustic properties prevent ultrasound from being used through the bone, therefore limiting its use in post-operative neurosurgical patients. Using ultrasound would remove the need for high radiation doses with CT, could be done very quickly and easily at bedside or in the clinic to check subdural space or ventricle size, and is much lower cost. This ClearFit implant would be utilized in place of a burr hole cover, typically titanium, that is implanted in most other cases. The aim of this study is to prospectively assess patients with surgically treated chronic subdural hematomas via craniectomy that have the craniectomy site covered with the Longeviti ClearFit, compared retrospectively to a matched cohort of patients that had their craniectomy site for the same procedure covered with the typically used titanium/metal. This will allow us to determine if this new implant results in reduced need for repeated CT imaging by utilizing bedside clinician-performed ultrasound and reduces overall cost for patients.
To evaluate the outcome of one burrhole evacuation for subdural hematoma and it has the same result of traditional two burrhole
A prospective multicenter cohort study was designed to compare the differences in complications with YL-1 Needle Puncture versus Bulr-hole Craniotomy (BHC) with postoperative Exhaustive Drainage strategy for patients with Chronic Subdural Hematoma.
A study in the use of the Narcotrend depth of anaesthesia monitor to record a) seizures, and b) monitor a level of sedation referred to as 'burst suppression', in sedated patients in the adult and paediatric intensive care. Studies have shown that patients in coma on the intensive care unit may have subclinical in addition to clinical seizures. Subclinical seizures are seizures that do not show any outward signs and may go undetected. The current gold standard of recording seizures in the intensive care unit is by non-invasive, continuous monitoring of the electrical activity of the brain by electroencephalography (cEEG) using cerebral function analysing monitor (CFAM). This is recorded with simultaneous video recording and is performed by Clinical Neurophysiology departments. There has been a steady increase in demand for this service over recent years. Additionally, CFAM / cEEG is labour intensive and expensive. If trends continue, the proportion of hospitals offering CFAM / cEEG will continue to rise, creating increased demand for specialist staff, of which there are a finite number. Depth of anaesthesia monitors are used by anaesthetists to assess the level of anaesthesia in sedated patients using specialised, automated EEG analysis and are now recommended by NICE (DG6) to tailor anaesthetic dose to individual patients. This study aims to investigate the utility of the Narcotrend depth of anaesthesia monitor to monitor for seizures and burst suppression on the adult and paediatric intensive care unit. These monitors are cheaper and more widely available with the scope to be used at every bed space requiring neuro observation on the intensive care unit. The study aims to recruit all patients who are referred for CFAM / cEEG monitoring at Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) Trust over a 12 month period. These patients will undergo simultaneous recording using CFAM / cEEG and depth of anaesthesia monitoring.
This study involves using a augmented reality (AR) system to assist in the placement of a subdural evacuating portal system (SEPS). In the first part of the study, all participants will have skin marking of an AR-guided and non-AR-guided site to determine feasibility and method accuracy. In the second part, subjects will be randomized to AR-guided and non-AR-guided SEPS placement to determine efficacy.
1. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between the length of ICU stay and a newly developed FIVE score in neuro-intensive care patients. 2. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the impact of the FIVE score on hospital length of stay, Modified Rankin Scale, and mortality, as well as to determine the correlation between the GCS, FOUR, and FIVE scores
There are no endoluminal stent systems available on the Chinese market for the effective treatment of aortic arch lesions (involving aortic arch aneurysms, aortic coarctation, aortic pseudoaneurysms, aortic ulcers, and intermural hematomas), and therefore this study is intended to be a prospective, single-arm study.
