Inferior Vena Cava-Balloon Occlusion and Its Effect on the Myocardium During Endograft Deployment in the Arch

AbstractPurpose: To evaluate the impact of cava balloon occlusion on the myocardium during endovascular repair of thoracic aortic pathologies.Material and methods: A prospective observational cohort study of 21 patients who underwent endovascular repair of aortic arch and thoracic aorta in a single tertiary referral center with use of inferior vena cava (IVC) balloon occlusion as a method of intra

Spell new sounds with new letters : A study of how Swedish L2 learners’ spelling is affected by their L1

The current study examines whether there is a connection between Swedish L2 students' L1 and their spelling in Swedish.The data were collected through a spelling test conducted at SFI course levels C and D. The experiment was conducted in an urban area in Småland in three groups consisting of 37 course participants with 12 different L1s. People with Arabic as their L1 are the focus of the study du

Lärare och forskare vid svenska lärosäten under 2000-talet

The Academic Profession in Swedish HigherEducation: Continuity and Change in the New CenturyThe purpose of this article is to describe the composition and internal stratification of the university teaching staff at Swedish higher education institutions. We show that four fault lines shape the higher education field in the 21st century. These are, firstly, the resource hierarchies both between old

Crushing of a bridging stent during follow-up of endovascular branched aortic arch repair – a novel mode of failure.

A 68-year-old man developed aneurysmal degeneration of the aortic arch and proximal descending aorta after an open ascending graft for a type A aortic dissection. A 3 branched endovascular aortic arch repair was performed with patency of all branches despite some degree of initial misalignment of the branches in relation to the target vessels. At 6 months post-operatively an asymptomatic partial c

European Multicentric Experience with Fenestrated-Branched ENDOvascular Stent-grafting after Previous FAILed Infrarenal Aortic Repair : the EU-FBENDO-FAIL Registry

OBJECTIVE: To report the mid-term outcomes of fenestrated-branched endovascular aneurysm repair (F-BEVAR) following a failed previous endovascular aneurysm repair (pEVAR) or previous open aneurysm repair (pOAR).METHODS: Data from consecutive patients who underwent F-BEVAR for pEVAR or pOAR from 2006-2021 from 17 European vascular centres were analyzed. Endpoints included technical success, major a

Decontamination efficiency and waste generation for the decontamination of radioactively contaminated urban and rural environments

A radioactive fallout following a nuclear accident can result in contamination of large areas of land. In order to protect human health against ionizing radiation, large-scale decontamination that includes multiple sets of clean-up measures may be necessary. Sweden lacks national experience of this type of large-scale decontamination. There are thus great uncertainties in the effect of such a deco

The use of a novel short dilator tip on the distal bifurcated component during fenestrated aortic repair to avoid reno-visceral bridging stents

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a modified delivery system of the distal bifurcated FEVAR component where the dilator tip was shortened to prevent damage to the renovisceral bridging stents.METHODS: All consecutive patients from a tertiary referral center that underwent a FEVAR with a custom delivery system of the distal bifurcated endograft with a

”Time flies when you are stuck at home, broke, drunk and full of existential dread” : En reflexiv etnografisk betraktelse kring humor ochsamlande under Covid-19 pandemin
