The latest insights, innovations, and perspectives from the world of medical technology.
Detachable coils allow controlled, retrievable positioning before final release, improving precision in aneurysm and vessel occlusion compared with pushable coils.
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.
Support catheters provide the backup and crossing assistance that complex endovascular navigation demands. Shaft design balances pushability, trackability, and lumen support.
Percutaneous ablation offers a minimally invasive, organ-sparing option for selected benign and malignant bone lesions, providing pain control and local tumor management.
Aortic dissection is a life-threatening emergency in which blood enters the aortic wall through an intimal tear. Rapid diagnosis and the right medical, endovascular, or surgical strategy determine survival.
Cardiopulmonary bypass temporarily assumes the function of the heart and lungs during cardiac surgery. Understanding its circuit, components, and modern refinements is fundamental to safe perfusion.
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.
Non-thermal, non-tumescent (NTNT) ablation has reshaped superficial venous care by closing refluxing saphenous veins without heat or tumescent anesthesia. This review covers mechanisms, technique, and patient selection.
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.
Energy-based vessel sealing devices fuse vessel walls to achieve permanent hemostasis during surgery. This review compares the operating principles and hemostatic performance of the main modalities.
Peripheral arterial stents restore and maintain lumen in lower-extremity arterial disease. Device type is matched to lesion location, length, and biomechanical environment.
Intrasaccular flow disruption treats wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms with a single device placed inside the sac, disrupting inflow at the neck and reducing the need for adjunctive stenting.
