🧐 Did you know? Ultrasound Screening can detect valve dysfunction in leg veins, a key factor in chronic venous insufficiency. This allows our specialists to develop targeted treatment plans for conditions like varicose veins and leg swelling. By visualizing the movement of your vein valves in real-time, we can pinpoint the exact source of your vein issues and tailor our treatments accordingly. #MedicalUltrasoundMonth #TheLegVeinExperts #VascularHealth #AdvancedDiagnostics #PatientCenteredCare

Already using Ultrasound for ALL your intra-articular interventions? Well, if you really want to know, what you´re doing, you should.

Preoperative gastric ultrasound usually requires right right lateral decubitus position. This new study by Lionel Bouvet assessed the accuracy of a simple, supine-only, qualitative ultrasound assessment of high-risk gastric contents in the parturient. 🔗https://lnkd.in/eYuvY-us

"Got kidney stones? There are several surgical options for managing them! 🩺💎 1. **Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL):** Uses shock waves to break up stones into smaller pieces that can be passed more easily. 2. **Ureteroscopy (URS):** A small scope is inserted into the ureter to locate and remove the stone. 3. **Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL):** A minimally invasive procedure where a small incision is made in the back to remove large or difficult-to-reach stones. Don't let kidney stones slow you down! #KidneyStoneAwareness #SurgicalOptions #HealthyLiving"

Case (44): Pneumatosis intestinalis ultrasound. Elderly pt presented with severe abdominal pain and distention US showed dilated large bowel loop with thickened hypo echoic wall and absent of vascularity on Color Doppler. contains multiple small hyperechoic foci with dirty shadow suggestive of air locales. This findings are suggestive of bowel ischemia complicated by pneumatosis intestinalis.

Kush Desai presented during VIO 2023 on managing occluded stents, why and how to fix it. Moderated by Stephen Black, joined by Nicos Labropoulos and Marie Josee van Rijn. The occlusion occurred because the inflow lesion was not properly addressed. The inflow to the stent was compromised, which led to persistent symptoms in the patient. The hypogastric vein remained open and was perfusing part of the stent through collateral veins like the obturator and pudendal veins. However, the caudal portion of the stent in the external iliac vein was occluded. The right common femoral vein was post-thrombotic and hypodense, which was confirmed by ultrasound, indicating a restricted flow contributing to the stent occlusion. The stent should have been extended further down to the profunda femoris vein to ensure better coverage and avoid occlusion, which was not done initially. Despite concerns about the profunda femoris vein, efforts were made to salvage as much flow as possible by bridging the diseased segment and hoping the profunda vein could compensate for the occlusion. #viocongress #venous #vascular

Modified percutaneous radiological gastrostomy without nasogastric access. 84y/M, advanced laryngeal malignancy. Failure to pass nasogastric tube and small french angiographic catheter (with coaxial guidewire) into the stomach under fluoroscopic and endoscopic guidance despite repeated attempts. Collapsed gastric lumen accessed by direct puncture under ultrasound guidance by targeting the intraluminal air and guidewire passed into the lumen to allow passage of catheter. Standard technique followed subsequently to place the gastrostomy tube. With Dr Akhil Baby and Dr Shubham Suryavanshi.
