Clinical use of extra-large self-expanding stents
No full textThe aim of this study is to describe our clinical experience with an extra-large self-expandable stent specifically designed to treat aortic lesions (E-XL, Jotec GmbH, Hechingen, Germany), now commercially available in Europe. The E-XL was used at our Institution in 14 patients (mean age, 56 12 years; 9 males) with the following indications: improve proximal fixation (4 cases), type I endoleak (2 cases), aortic dissection with static malperfusion (1 case) and dynamic malperfusion (7 cases). Early results have been shown to be safe and effective in different clinical settings, including in emergency cases. This peculiar aortic stent could be useful in the armamentarium of the endovascular surgeon. OI tshomba, yamume/0000-0001-8316-4702; Bertoglio, Luca/0000-0001-6871-217

No full textIntermedia Synchronization for Videoconference over IP
No full textThis paper deals with the problem of audio and video synchronization issues for real-time audio-visual communication over IP-based networks. Starting from the real-time transport protocol (RTP) speci"cations (Schulzrinne, 1995), it provides an accurate description on how to recover a reliable absolute time reference for audio and video signals from header information in RTP and RTP control protocol packets. Such temporal informations allow to synchronize both media within acceptable perceptual bounds for reconstruction at any receiver end, in a possibly multi-point videoconference. This may occur independently of the fact that all (audio/video) packets reach destination, or that multiple replications of such packets arrive at destination. The proposed solution does not take into account the possible different delays that may be introduced between the di!erent communication points, thus resulting eventually in potential jitters in the reconstruction of the audio-visual streams between di!erent receivers. Each receiver handles its reconstruction independently of any transmission/processing delay. In order to ensure a better quality of the reconstructed material, priority is given to audio information. If the audio stream anticipate the video stream, the receiver simply discards video packets. Conversely, when video is ahead of audio information, the video decoding stage is interrupted till audio information arrives. Experimental simulations over a LAN have demonstrated the validity of the proposed approach
Delayed Open Conversion after Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: Device-specific Surgical Approach
No full textObjectives: Despite several advances in endoluminal salvage for failed endovascular abdominal aortic repair (EVAR), in our experience an increasing number of cases necessitate delayed open conversion (dOC). Methods: EVAR patients requiring delayed (>30 days) conversion were prospectively collected in a computerized database including demographics, details of aortoiliac anatomy, procedural and clinical success, and postoperative complications. Results: Between 2005 and 2011, 54 patients were treated for aortic stent-graft explantation. Indications included 34 type I and III endoleaks, 13 type II endoleaks with aneurysm growth, 4 cases of material failures, and 3 stent-graft infections. All fit-for-surgery patients with type I/III endoleak underwent directly dOC. Different surgical approaches were used depending on the type of stent-graft. Overall 30-day mortality was 1.9%. Overall morbidity was 31% mainly due to acute renal failure (13 cases). Mean hospitalization was 6 days (range, 5-27 days). Overall survival at mean follow-up of 19 months was 78%. Conclusions: In recent years, the use of EVAR has increased dramatically, including in young patients regardless of their fitness for open repair. dOC after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm seems to be a lifesaving procedure with satisfactory initial and mid-term results.
