  1. 1. CT Guided Ablation of T1 Renal Tumors

    Författare :Vanessa Acosta Ruiz; Anders Magnusson; Mikael Hellström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Renal tumor; Ablation; Radiofrequency ablation; Microwave ablation; Radiology; Radiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The widespread use of medical imaging contributes to the increased detection of incidentally detected small renal tumors, a majority which are often indolent masses found in elderly patients with preexisting chronic kidney disease. In Sweden, partial nephrectomy with minimal invasive surgical approach is the current standard for removing these tumors, although another option is percutaneous image-guided tumor ablation that allows treatment of elderly patients with comorbidities for who surgery is a risk.

  3. 2. Aspects of Intraoperative Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

    Författare :Birgitta Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :atrial fibrillation; intraoperative ablation; radiofrequency; cryo; epicardial; quality of life; atrial function; predictors of rhythm;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Increasing knowledge about mechanisms that trigger and maintain atrial fibrillation (AF) has influenced the possibilities for treatment and even cure of AF. The surgical Cox Maze III procedure is still the gold standard for the curative treatment of AF. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Outcomes and safety of new techniques for pulmonary vein isolation in patients with paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation : A study based on randomised trials and registries

    Författare :David Mörtsell; Carina Blomström-Lundqvist; Stefan Lönnerholm; Isabel Deisenhofer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atrial fibrillation; antiarrhythmic drugs; ablation; cryoballoon; radiofrequency; pulmonary vein isolation; quality of life; arrhythmia monitoring; implantable cardiac monitor; atrial fibrillation burden; health economics; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common disease with a high prevalence in the adult population. Treatment of AF encompasses antiarrhythmic drugs and catheter ablation to reduce symptoms. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Localised and Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma. Aspects of Treatment

    Författare :David Lyrdal; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :renal cell carcinoma; nephron-sparing surgery; 18F -2-flouro-2-deoxyglucose; positron emission tomography; metastatic renal cell carcinoma; peg-interferon alfa-2b; radiofrequency; ablation; percutaneous; ultrasound;

    Sammanfattning : Localised and Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma. Aspects of Treatment. Aims: Paper I To assess the long-term results in patients operated with NSS in situ for RCC, with special reference to their dependence on tumour grade and stage. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Lower limb venous incompetence and the effect of radiofrequency ablation versus open surgery : Focus on haemodynamics, quality of life and health economic aspects

    Författare :Oskar Nelzén; Helene Zachrisson; Toste Länne; Johan Skoog; Gunnar Plate; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chronic venous incompetence; Varicose veins; Radiofrequency ablation; High ligation stripping Duplex ultrasound; Strain-gauge plethysmography; Quality of Life; Health economic evaluation;

    Sammanfattning : Chronic venous incompetence (CVI) is a common condition, and varicose vein treatment is one of the most-common surgical procedures performed worldwide. Common symptoms of CVI are pain, cramps, itching, feeling of leg heaviness and venous claudication. Advanced CVI can lead to skin changes, eczema and venous ulcers. LÄS MER
