Novel insights into thoracic endografts technology for prevention of distal stent-graft induced new entry (dSINE) following endovascular repair of type B aortic dissections: from bench to bedside
Expert Rev Med Devices. 2024 Apr 17. doi: 10.1080/17434440.2024.2343824. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Endovascular treatment of type B aortic dissections (TBAD) has currently acquired a primary therapeutic role when anatomically feasible. The main issue with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for aortic dissection is the actual nature of the aortic wall, which is structurally compromised and more fragile. Indeed, a wealth of data have shown that TEVAR for TBAD will lead, in a substantial proportion of cases, to a device-related adverse event named distal stent-graft induced new entry (dSINE).AREAS C...

A profile on the WISE cortical strip for intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring
Expert Rev Med Devices. 2024 Apr 17:1-7. doi: 10.1080/17434440.2024.2343421. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: During intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring in neurosurgery, brain electrodes are placed to record electrocorticography or to inject current for direct cortical stimulation. A low impedance electrode may improve signal quality.AREAS COVERED: We review here a brain electrode (WISE Cortical Strip, WCS®), where a thin polymer strip embeds platinum nanoparticles to create conductive electrode contacts. The low impedance contacts enable a high signal-to-noise ratio, allowing for better detection of s...

Comparative evaluation of blind supraglottic airway device insertion versus videolaryngoscope-guided technique in adults undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy
CONCLUSION: The videolaryngoscope-guided technique provided superior airway sealing and reduced malposition of Igel without an increase in adverse events compared to the blind technique. However, this was at the cost of increased time of device insertion.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: www.ctri.nic.in identifier is CTRI/2022/10/046269.PMID:38623726 | DOI:10.1080/17434440.2024.2343423 (Source: Expert Review of Medical Devices)

GI genius endoscopy module: a clinical profile
Expert Rev Med Devices. 2024 Apr 17:1-14. doi: 10.1080/17434440.2024.2342508. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: The identification of early-stage colorectal cancers (CRC) and the resection of pre-cancerous neoplastic lesions through colonoscopy allows to decrease both CRC incidence and mortality. However, colonoscopy miss rates up to 26% for adenomas and 9% for advanced adenomas have been reported. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) systems have been emerging as easy-to-use tools, potentially lowering the risk of missing lesions.AREAS COVERED: This review paper focuses on GI Genius device (Medtronic Co...

Is open anterior advantageous to posterior decompression and reconstruction in fresh A < sub > 3 < /sub > to C < sub > 3 < /sub > /AO type thoracolumbar junction fractures? A systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: The anterior approach is demanding and is associated with a higher rate of surgical complications compared to the posterior approach. The limitations of the selected studies included inconsistence in the: 1) approaches selection, 2) classifications of the fracture types and the neurological status and 3) variety of instrumentations used.PROSPERO ID: CRD42023484222.PMID:38590235 | DOI:10.1080/17434440.2024.2341109 (Source: Expert Review of Medical Devices)

Technical challenges during emergent endovascular aneurysm repair with the ALTO system
Expert Rev Med Devices. 2024 Apr 5:1-7. doi: 10.1080/17434440.2024.2339416. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) pose an immediate threat for patient's life and endovascular repair (EVAR) is currently the preferred treatment modality in the presence of suitable anatomy. This is determined based on the requirements of each endograft as described in the instructions for use (IFU). The new ALTO system (Endologix, Irvin, CA, U.S.A.), can accommodate a great range of anatomies such as short necks and/or narrow access, but its unique design requires specific technical modificatio...

Deep brain stimulation for Alzheimer's disease - current status and next steps
This article explores AD as a manifestation of neurocircuit dysfunction and evaluates deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a potential intervention. Focusing on fornix-targeted stimulation (DBS-f), the article summarizes safety, feasibility, and outcomes observed in phase 1/2 trials, highlighting findings such as cognitive improvement, increased metabolism, and hippocampal growth. Topics for further study include optimization of electrode placement, and the role of stimulation-induced autobiographical-recall. Nucleus basalis of Meynert (DBS-NBM) DBS is also discussed and compared with DBS-f. Challenges with both DBS-f and DBS-N...
