INTRODUCTION: Immediately adjacent to large hepatic veins, tumour ablation by radiofrequency or electrolysis may be impaired by heat or current sink effects. Ablation may also cause vessel injury and thrombosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of radiofrequency and electrolytic ablative techniques adjacent to large hepatic veins. METHODS: Electrolytic and radiofrequency zones of ablation were created adjacent to hepatic veins in large white pigs...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the potential value of precision dual-slice spiral computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (DSCTPA) in the diagnosis of pulmonary thrombo embolism (PTE), especially small PTE. METHOD: Seventy-four patients sus Pected of having PTE received DSCTPA. The diagnosis was confirmed in all cases by D-dimer, blood P((A-a))O(2) and cardiac sonography, by direct pulmonary angiography (DPA)in 12, by ventilation-Pe rfusion scan (V-PS) in 6, and 28 underwent lower extremity sonography...

There are two aspects which are clinically relevant in the relationships among thrombosis and arteriosclerosis. First, the relationship of thrombosis to atherogenesis. Thrombosis is closely related to endothelial injury and there is recent evidence that repeated or continuous endothelial damage leads to the development of all the lesions seen in human atherosclerosis. This occurs in the absence of dietary lipid supplement. The relative importance of the parts played by injury and thrombosis in this process need further delineation...
