Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) is routinely used in the monitoring of patients after endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm...

Pseudotumors of retropharyngeal space are mentioned as anatomical variants of the carotid arteryor internal jugular vein, degenerative alterations or anatomical variations of regional bone structures,and damage of muscle such as hypertrophy of the levator scapulae muscle and fibrosis of sternocleidomastoidmuscle [5, 16]. We present a case of an elderly patient with pseudotumour of the retropharyngealspace, which caused dysphagia for solid foods...

We present the case of a young patient with severe congenital musculoskeletal abnormalities.Associated with different pathologies, with involvement of the arterial tree on both the systemic and pulmonary circulation, and involvement of the lungs due to thoracic hypoplasia...

Aneurysmal left atrial appendage (LAA) is a rare congenital anomaly. It may result in supraventricular arrhythmias and embolic complications...

We present the case of a young patient with severe congenital musculoskeletal abnormalities. Associated with different pathologies, with involvement of the arterial tree on both the systemic and pulmonary circulation, and involvement of the lungs due to thoracic hypoplasia. The presence of such extensive pathology raises the question of the suitability of such patients toundergo major corrective cardiac surgery procedures...

Sprawność czynnościowa (funkcjonalna; ang.functional ability) zakłada niezależność od innych osób w zaspokajaniu podstawowych potrzeb życiowych w zakresie poruszania się, odżywiania, kontroli nad czynnościami fizjologicznymi, utrzymywania higieny. Sprawność czynnościową określa się również mianem „wydolności funkcjonalnej” czy też „aktywności funkcjonalnej”. Pojęcia te należy utożsamiać ze zdolnością do bycia niezależnym od innych osób w zaspokajaniu podstawowych potrzeb życiowych...

An aortic aneurysm is defined as localised artery dilatation greater than 50% of the expected normal luminal diameter. Aneurysms that extend from the descending thoracic aorta into the abdomen are classified as the thoracoabdominal variety. Thoracoabdominal aortic ane...

The posterior circulation of the brain constitutes the vertebrobasilar system and its branches, which are responsible for about 30% of the brain’s blood supply. The aim of this study was to describe the anomalies of the basilar artery, especially fenestrations. For that purpose, we examined 50 patients with computed tomography (CT) angiography during an 8-month period. In the CT reports of 2 (4%) patients of the 50 analysed, fenestration was found at the proximal basilar trunk...

The GenousTM stent coated with anti-CD34 antibodies has been designed to accelerate healing of the vessel by attracting circulating endothelial progenitor cells. Rapid restoration of a functional endothelial layer with a full coverage of the stent struts aims to minimise arterial injury after coronary stenting and to prevent thrombus formation and neointima proliferation.
