Experience with the Ankura Thoracic Stent Graft and In-situ Fenestration for the Left Subclavian Artery with the Fu-Through Needle - a Technical Overview and Comparison to Similar Endovascular Techniques
Zentralbl Chir. 2023 Oct;148(5):425-428. doi: 10.1055/a-2166-2860. Epub 2023 Oct 16.ABSTRACTThoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a widespread minimally invasive procedure prevalently used to treat thoracic aortic pathologies. However, when the left subclavian artery (LSA) is involved in the pathology, a more complex surgical approach is required to guarantee the perfusion of the vertebral and brachial arteries. In fact, coverage of the LSA has been proven to be associated with a higher risk of stroke, spinal cord ischemia, and arm ischemia.Historically, carotid-subclavian bypass or subclavian transposition has be...

Angioplasty with Sirolimus-coated Balloon: the New Standard in the Treatment of PAD?
Zentralbl Chir. 2023 Oct;148(5):438-444. doi: 10.1055/a-2174-7770. Epub 2023 Oct 16.ABSTRACTEndovascular revascularisation with paclitaxel-coated balloons for the treatment of peripheral artery disease has been shown to be an effective therapeutic option in the femoropopliteal segment. The antiproliferative effect of paclitaxel prevents restenosis. In contrast, in the infra-popliteal segment, the evidence is currently conflicting. However, there is evidence of an increased risk of amputation and mortality from the second year after angioplasty with paclitaxel-coated balloons. This may be due to a dose-dependent cytotoxic e...

Statement Paper on the Implementation of a National Organized Program in Germany for the Early Detection of Lung Cancer in Risk Populations Using Low-dose CT Screening Including Management of Screening Findings
Zentralbl Chir. 2023 Oct 10. doi: 10.1055/a-2178-5907. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe process of implementing early detection of lung cancer with low-dose CT (LDCT) in Germany has gained significant momentum in recent years. It is expected that the ordinance of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) on early detection of lung cancer, which has been commented on by the professional societies, will come into effect by the end of 2023. Based on this regulation, the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) will set up a program for early lung cancer detection with ...

The Role of C-reactive Protein and Procalcitonin in Predicting the Occurrence of Pancreatic Fistula in Patients who Underwent Laparoscopic Pancreaticoduodenectomy: a Retrospective Study
Zentralbl Chir. 2023 Oct 5. doi: 10.1055/a-2157-7550. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe occurrence of postoperative pancreatic fistula following laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) is a significant concern, yet there is currently a lack of consensus on reliable predictive methods for this complication. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the clinical significance of C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) values and their reliability in early predicting the development of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (CRPF) following LPD.A retrospective analysis was conducted using data from 120 patient...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIndocyaningrün (IGC) ist ein Fluoreszenzfarbstoff, der durch Hepatozyten aufgenommen und biliär ausgeschieden wird. Dadurch kann er zur Leberfunktionsdiagnostik eingesetzt werden. Neben dieser Eigenschaft kumuliert ICG in und um primäre und sekundäre Lebertumoren, die dadurch intraoperativ durch Stimulation mit Licht von 840 nm fluoreszierend dargestellt werden können. Durch die biliäre Ausscheidung werden die extrahepatischen Gallengänge mittels ICG visualisiert. Mithilfe von direkter oder indirekter Fluoreszenzangiografie können ...
