Atherectomy with a Novel Device Offering Wider Options
Zentralbl Chir. 2023 Sep 12. doi: 10.1055/a-2156-5891. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCatheter-based atherectomy has been discussed for some years, although the conclusions have been controversial. Recent study data did show the feasibility of multifunctional atherectomy devices for complex lesion morphologies, with moderate material use. This is then thus an alternative to bypass surgery, although a direct comparison is lacking.The results of the ByCross approval study were compared to technical and clinical data from various atherectomy systems in terms of range of indication, limitations as defined by the manufacturer, t...

Resection of Solitary Lung Metastasis of Urinary Tract Transitional Cell Cancer Can Prolong Survival in Selected Patients
In this study, we examined the long-term outcome and the prognostic survival factors associated with pulmonary metastasectomy of urinary tract TCC, as based on our centre's 20-year experience. Between 2000 and 2020, curative pulmonary metastasectomy was performed in 18 patients (14 males and 4 females). Clinical, demographical and surgical data were retrospectively analysed. The disease-free interval between treatment of the primary tumour and pulmonary metastasectomy ranged from one to 48 months. Survival analysis was conducted with the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. The 3- and 5-year survival rates were 84.7% and...

Management of the Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome
Zentralbl Chir. 2023 Sep 5. doi: 10.1055/a-2109-3140. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe current evidence to guide management of Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS) is sparse. Here we summarise the European guidelines that were published in 2021 by the EHTG (European Hereditary Tumour Group), extended with new evidence on some aspects of clinical management that have been generated since then. EHTG with this revised guideline has updated and extended their own previous expert opinion guideline from 2010. For this purpose, all published literature was systematically screened and the level of evidence determined by using the GRADE m...
