Lliac artery stenting shows good long-term results
Endovascular stenting as the initial treatment for patients with occluded iliac arteries has been shown to be both safe and cost-effective by more than five years of follow-up in the Dutch Iliac Stent Trial.
Endovascular stenting as the initial treatment for patients with occluded iliac arteries has been shown to be both safe and cost-effective by more than five years of follow-up in the Dutch Iliac Stent Trial.
Dr. Willemijn M. Klein and colleagues retrospectively reviewed 143 patients who underwent primary stent placement and 136 who underwent primary angioplasty followed by selective stent placement. They found no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the number of reinterventions, additional cardiovascular events, or mortality.
The real danger for these patients is cardiovascular complications leading to fatal episodes, according to a study in the August issue of Radiology. Peripheral artery disease should thus be considered a marker of potentially dangerous atherosclerotic disease elsewhere in the body, the researchers said.
Study Reaffirms Low Risk for csPCa with Biopsy Omission After Negative Prostate MRI
December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
