Endovascular Superior Vena Cava Stenting As Effective Therapy of A Life Threatening Epistaxis in A Patient with Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia
1. Abstract Indwelling port catheters are nowadays the main etiology of benign superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome. SVC obstruction increases the venous blood pressure upstream, and subsequently into the arterio-venous sac malformations of the nasal cavity, leading to the high risk of recurrent epistaxis in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) patients. In the present case, percutaneous […]
The Mooji Effect of “Osborne-Cotterill Lesion” New Approach to Concept
1. Abstract 1.1. Introduction “Osborne-Cotterill Lesion” leaves an impression in the capitellum following injury or dislocation of the elbow. The clinical importance of this lesion is not yet recognized. We suggest a simple algorithm to measure its importance clinically and offer surgical treatment with bone graft and plating to prevent engagement of the radial head […]
