New Paradigms In The Treatment Of Acute Complicated And Uncomplicated Type B Aortic Dissection, Eric S. Weiss Dec 2018

New Paradigms In The Treatment Of Acute Complicated And Uncomplicated Type B Aortic Dissection, Eric S. Weiss

Aurora Heart Failure / Transplant Faculty

The treatment of acute type B aortic dissection is a rapidly evolving field, due in a large part to the advent of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). This review will summarize the current literature on the management of both complicated and uncomplicated type B dissections, with special attention paid to emerging evidence supporting earlier aggressive treatment.

Descending Branch Of The Lateral Circumflex Femoral Artery - Arterial Genicular Anastomoses, Maher Sabalbal Apr 2010

Descending Branch Of The Lateral Circumflex Femoral Artery - Arterial Genicular Anastomoses, Maher Sabalbal

Maher Sabalbal

Genicular collateral arterial circulation is required for perfusion of the lower leg should the superficial femoral artery (SFA) become obstructed by trauma or disease. When describing the anatomy, textbooks only provide a schematic representation of the genicular collateral circulation and suggest that the descending branch of the lateral circumflex artery (DBLCFA) plays a critical role. The DBLCFA may be removed for bypass and reconstructive surgeries; therefore, a sound anatomical description of this artery is essential. This study combines dissection with 3D reconstruction to describe the anatomy of the DBLCFA and to provide a morphological description of its involvement in the …

Methods For Volume Measurement In 3d Images, Kevin J. Black Jan 2001

Methods For Volume Measurement In 3d Images, Kevin J. Black

Kevin J. Black, MD

This letter attempted to politely direct readers of a later, remarkably similar publication to my original publication. The full text as submitted is attached as a PDF file.
The poster cited in the attached letter is available here.
ADDENDUM: Approximately the same work as the article discussed in this letter was also published as: Rajapakse JC: Random-grid stereologic volumetry of MR head scans. J Magn Reson Imaging 12:833-841, 2000. I wrote a similar, unpublished letter to the editor of JMRI in 12/2000.
