1.Percutaneous coronary Intervention for ostial occlusion lesion of an anomalous right coronary artery
Journal of Geriatric Cardiology 2009;6(3):189-192
Ostial lesions present many challenges for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Coronary anomaly will further increase difficulties in performing PCI for the patient. We present such a case as ostial occlusion of an right coronary artery with high takeoff. A 77-year-old male was referred to our institution with a diagnosis of non-ST elevated acute myocardial infarction. Selective coronary angiography and nonselective ascending aortography could not identify the origin of the right coronary artery. Multi-slices computed tomography showed RCA ostial totally occluded. A successful PCI was performed and a perfect final result was achieved utilized with many tips and tricks, including buddy wire technique and focused-force angioplasty.

Anal fistula is a common disease, surgical treatment is the best option. There are many kinds of surgical treatments for anal fistula, traditional surgical methods, such as fistulotomy and fistulectomy are more thorough in treating internal opening, infection and fistula tract, but the injury to the sphincter is also greater. In recent years, surgery is becoming refined, many scholars pay more and more attention to the protection of anal sphincter, which has derived a series of minimally invasive surgeries, such as Endorectal advancement flap procedure, Ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract, Fistula laser closure procedure, Video-assisted anal fistula treatment, Over-the-scope clip, Endofistular polyurethane-sponge vacuum therapy and biological sphincter preservating procedures. This paper describes the application status and progress of sphincter preserving surgeries by reviewing relevant literature, in order to provide relevant reference for clinical workers, optimize the treatment plan and improve the cure rate.
