Coil unraveling is a rare but challenging complication that has been described mostly during intracerebral arterial embolization. Treatment options include snare retrieval, which may be difficult because of the length of the component filament. Here we describe successful endovascular treatment of an unraveled coil following its partial...

Purpose: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a life-threatening disease that leads to bowel infarction and death. The optimal management of AMI remains controversial. The present meta-analysis aimed to estimate the prognostic impact of surgical (SG) versus endovascular or hybrid intervention (EV) as the first-line treatment for acute arterial...

Proteus mirabilis prosthetic valve endocarditis is a rare and life-threatening condition not yet reported on tricuspid bioprostheses. We report a cas of a 43-year old woman, a heroin-user, presented with a giant vegetation extended the tricuspid valve prosthesis to the pulmonary artery.

Diagnostic intricacies and fortuitous treatment approaches for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. Reply, letter to editor.

An 18-year-old male, involved in a car accident, underwent a non-gated contrast enhanced CT with apparently no evidence of significant abnormalities of the thoracic aorta. The later onset of aortic valve regurgitation prompted a prospectively ECG-triggered high-pitch spiral acquisition using a dual-source CT system which showed a tear with a...
