STUDY AND PURPOSE
The aim of this study is to apply the "Over-SIRIX", a new method to measure oversizing for CHIMPS, not a standard formula.
The intention is to minimize the maximum risk of type IA endoleaks, often coming from the gutters.
METHOD AND SOURCES
From 2002 to 2014 were treated 31 patients with CHIMPS for aortic arch. 19 patients with antegrade single chimney were included, and divided in two groups (PRE/POST) with retrospective and prospective study.
The method consists in the study of the proximal neck (MPR), exactly at the level of chimney-graft complex, drawing a circle/oval representing the stent and the perimeter of the endoprosthesis in order to eliminate the "gutters".
RESULTS: The average ideal oversizing was of 19.57% (11.4% -27%) and Over-SIRIX 13%; the area of the gutters (cut-off:0.75 cm2) decreased from 0.74 to 0.15 (PRE/POST) and the rate of endoleaks from 28.5% to 0% (PRE/POST). The average neck (26 mm) was comparable between the groups PRE/POST (27/23 mm).
CONCLUSION: Over-SIRIX appears to be a simple method that can customize oversizing for CHIMPS reducing the risk of endoleak IA, which is related significantly to the presence and size of the gutters
RESISTING ALTERITIES: WILSON HARRIS AND OTHER AVATARS OF OTHERNESS
No full textThis volume of essays, poetry, and prose fiction records various attempts to read the fracture zones created by the discursive strategy of a democratic imagination where space and ideas are opened to new linguistic and literary insights. Pride of place is taken by essays on the Caribbean writer Wilson Harris, exploring the implications of his awareness of a polyphony of co-existent voices that dislodges the hegemony of Cartesian dualism. This group of studies is rounded off with an interview with, and searching testimony by, Harris himself.
The further contributions take up the implications of the encounter with "alterity" (strangers, natives, barbarians) in order to understand not only wonder in the face of an unknown presence, or the "shame" through which the subject discovers itself, but also the "ressentiment" of demonized Others. Contributors: Shaul Bassi, Marina Camboni, Giovanna Covi, Eugenio De Signoribus, Douglas Duunn, Marco Fazzini (author of the interview with Harris, the intro to the volume and an essay on Edwin Morgan Science Fiction Poems), Wilson Harris, Johan Jacobs, Hena Maes-Jelinek, Renata Morresi, Armando Pajalich, Monica Pozzi, Charles Tomlinson, Luisa Villa, Christopher Whyte, Patrick Williams
