The management of isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection (ISMAD) often involves conservative treatment, which includes blood pressure lowering therapy, analgesics, and initial bowel rest. [4] Periodic follow-ups with CT angiography are a part of the conservative treatment approach. Over time, many patients show improvement or no change ...
Superior mesenteric artery compressing the duodenum, featuring the superior mesenteric artery syndrome. Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a gastro-vascular disorder in which the third and final portion of the duodenum is compressed between the abdominal aorta (AA) and the overlying superior mesenteric artery.
[12] Furthermore, patients must be on anticoagulation therapy after stenting for three months. [12] Although the least invasive surgical option for treatment of NCS, the use of stenting is controversial among surgeons. Many surgeons no longer recommend stenting the renal vein for the high risk of migration and lack of long term symptom relief.
The technique was invented by Giuseppe Marineo at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. [8] Marineo co-authored and published a research paper on the topic in 2000. [9] Scrambler therapy was FDA approved in 2009 for the treatment of chronic or neuropathic pain in professionally supervised treatment sessions in a medical setting. [6]
Interventional pain management or interventional pain medicine is a medical subspecialty defined by the National Uniforms Claims Committee (NUCC) as, " invasive interventions such as the discipline of medicine devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of pain related disorders principally with the application of interventional techniques in managing sub acute, chronic, persistent, and intractable ...
Chronic mesenteric ischemia requires surgical revascularization and treatment like stents, transaortic endarterectomy, or bypassing the arteries. Abdominal angina often has a one-year delay between symptoms and treatment, leading to complications like malnutrition or bowel infarction. Abdominal angina is more prevalent in females with a 3:1 ...
Studies show RA's efficacy in comparison to alternative techniques, particularly for challenging lesions. Atherectomy is an adjunctive therapy used for lesion preparation of calcified plaque before percutaneous coronary intervention. The goal of lesion preparation with atherectomy is to modify calcified plaque, which changes the lesion ...
Arthroscopic surgery. Minimally invasive procedures were pioneered by interventional radiologists who had first introduced angioplasty and the catheter-delivered stent.Many other minimally invasive procedures have followed where images of all parts of the body can be obtained and used to direct interventional instruments by way of catheters (needles and fine tubes), so that many conditions ...
