Abstract
We evaluated the short- and intermediate-term results of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for mycotic aneurysms. We reviewed all patients undergoing EVAR for mycotic aneurysms at our institution. To be consistent with the existing literature, patients with associated aortoaerodigestive fistulas w...

Abstract
In 21 of 22 cases, the nurses would consider using the new system on future patients. After each pouch removal, patients were asked whether they were able to move around while wearing the test pouch and they answered yes 95% of the time. The new system was found to have significantly longer wear tim...

Abstract
We speculate that the possible causes of the refractoriness to treatment in both patients were ulcer penetration, callosity formation, and insufficient inhibition of gastric acid secretion due to the impaired passage of PPI into the deep portion of the duodenum as a result of luminal narrowing....
