Abstract

The vasculitides are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by inflammation and necrosis of blood vessels. They have been classified into several major groups on the basis of the size and type of vessels affected and the type of inflammation. Urticarial vasculitis is a recently recognized but relatively common presentation of cutaneous necrotizing vasculitis. This article discusses its clinical, pathologic, and immunologic features, its association with other disease states, and its differentiation from nonvasculitic urticaria.

Endovascular interventional magnetic resonance imaging.

Minimally invasive interventional radiological procedures, such as balloon angioplasty, stent placement or coiling of aneurysms, play an increasingly important role in the treatment of patients suffering from vascular disease. The non-destructive nature of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), its ability to combine the acquisition of high quality anatomical images and functional information, such as blood flow velocities, perfusion and diffusion, together with its inherent three dimensionality and tomographic imaging capacities, have been advocated as advantages of using the MRI technique for guidance of endovascular radiological interventions. Within this light, endovascular interventional MRI has emerged as an interesting and promising new branch of interventional radiology. In this review article, the authors will give an overview of the most important issues related to this field. In this context, we will focus on the prerequisites for endovascular interventional MRI to come to maturity. In particular, the various approaches for device tracking that were proposed will be discussed and categorized. Furthermore, dedicated MRI systems, safety and compatibility issues and promising applications that could become clinical practice in the future will be discussed.

The anatomy of midurethral slings and dynamics of neurovascular injury.

The aim of this study was to investigate the course of midurethral slings using tension-free vaginal tape. The TVT procedure was performed on six fresh pelves, measurements were obtained, and the structures were cross-referenced in 16 embalmed pelves. The midurethral sling enters the suburethral tissue 2.2-3 cm caudad to the internal urethral meatus, pierces the paraurethral musculature and vascular plexus, and exits 2+/-0.5 cm from the midline lateral to the point of insertion of the arcus tendineus fasciae pelvis. On the pubic tubercle the sling is 4+/-0.5 cm, 4+/-1 cm and 6+/-1 cm from the accessory obturator, the inferior epigastric and the external iliac vessels, respectively. The critical angle of error resulting in the external iliac vessel injury is 7-15 degrees. A current knowledge of pelvic anatomy may help the surgeon avoid the neural and vascular structures that are in the path of the sling.
