OBJECTIVE
To determine possible systemic factors that may induce or be associated with the pathogenesis and pathologic course of spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs), the most common type of arteriovenous disorder of the spinal cord and its meninges.
METHODS
We assessed the role of possible
Since up to 20% of patients undergoing lower extremity revascularization do not have an adequate venous conduit, some authors have explored the use of prosthetic grafts with adjunctive techniques for lower extremity revascularization. However, the long-term graft patency of those procedures has not
The aim of this study was to identify risk factors and explore the possible prevention measures for seizures following cranioplasty.The authors performed a retrospective review of 142 consecutive patients who underwent cranioplasty following craniectomy for BACKGROUND
Nonpenetrating titanium surgical clips (clips) offer a theoretical advantage of inducing less intimal hyperplasia at an anastomosis because of less endothelial injury. Whether this translates into improved outcomes when used in the creation of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) remains
For patients waitlisted for a deceased-donor kidney, hospitalization is associated with a lower likelihood of transplantation and worse posttransplant outcomes. However, individual-, neighborhood-, and regional-level risk factors for hospitalization throughout the waitlist period and specific causes
