The latest insights, innovations, and perspectives from the world of medical technology.
Peripheral arterial stents restore and maintain lumen in lower-extremity arterial disease. Device type is matched to lesion location, length, and biomechanical environment.
Catheter-directed thrombolysis delivers a fibrinolytic agent directly into pulmonary artery thrombus, offering a middle path between systemic lysis and surgery for selected intermediate- and high-risk pulmonary embolism.
Percutaneous ablation offers a minimally invasive, organ-sparing option for selected benign and malignant bone lesions, providing pain control and local tumor management.
Stereotactic radiosurgery delivers a highly conformal, high-dose radiation treatment to intracranial targets in one or few sessions, sparing surrounding brain tissue.
Valvular heart disease spans stenosis and regurgitation of the heart valves. Modern care integrates precise imaging with surgical and transcatheter treatment options.
EVAR excludes an aortic aneurysm from circulation using a stent graft delivered through the femoral arteries, offering lower early morbidity than open repair for suitable anatomy.
Intravascular ultrasound provides cross-sectional imaging from within the vein, improving detection of iliac vein compression and guiding accurate venous stent sizing and placement.
Intraoperative neuromonitoring provides real-time feedback on the functional integrity of neural pathways during surgery, using defined signal-change thresholds to warn of impending injury.
Rubber band ligation remains a mainstay of office-based hemorrhoid treatment. Modern banding systems refine suction, visualization, and multi-band delivery for safer, faster procedures.
May-Thurner syndrome is compression of the left common iliac vein by the overlying right common iliac artery, a treatable cause of left-leg swelling and deep vein thrombosis.
Post-thrombotic syndrome is a chronic consequence of deep vein thrombosis. Venous stenting of obstructive iliofemoral lesions can relieve symptoms in carefully selected patients.
Carotid artery stenting is an endovascular alternative to endarterectomy for selected patients with carotid stenosis. Embolic protection and careful patient selection are central to safe outcomes.
