TL;DR: Thrombectomy with the X-SIZER device prior to stent implantation in high-risk diseased SVGs and thrombus-containing native coronary arteries may reduce the extent, but not the occurrence, of myonecrosis but early and late event-free survival were not improved.

TL;DR: The successful use of the EpIdent syringe in this preliminary study of 20 patients indicates that it provides a simple, safe, and effective means of identifying the epidural space and avoids the unpleasant or untoward effects associated with currently used loss of resistance techniques.
Abstract: Background and Objectives. Each of the two most widely used techniques for identification of the epidural space, the loss of resistance technique with air and the loss of resistance technique with liquid, has certain advantages and disadvantages. A new syringe is described that has two chambers, one to contain air and the other to contain liquid, to combine the advantages of air with the advantages of liquid and to prevent the disadvantages of each. Methods. Twenty consecutive adult patients scheduled to receive epidural injections for surgery, obstetrics, or pain control were selected for study. This was an open study, and the EpIdent syringe was used as the only means of identifying the epidural space in every case. Results. The EpIdent syringe easily and effectively identified the epidural space in all of the patients, with no adverse or unpleasant side effects. Successful identification of the space was documented by the production of adequate anesthesia after the injection of an appropriate volume or local anesthetic. There were no complications. Conclusions. The successful use of the EpIdent syringe in this preliminary study of 20 patients indicates that it provides a simple, safe, and effective means of identifying the epidural space. It allows the use of a plastic syringe (instead of glass) and avoids the unpleasant or untoward effects associated with currently used loss of resistance techniques.

TL;DR: The Harris-Galante socket has maintained a low implant failure rate at intermediate term, even in these young patients, and as follow-up increases, wear of the polyethylene and periprosthetic osteolysis may become growing concerns.
Abstract: A retrospective evaluation of the clinical and radiographic results of the Harris-Galante acetabular cups was performed in 112 patients with 127 total hip arthroplasties. Patients with 14 hips had died, and patients with 20 hips were lost to follow-up. A total of 82 patients with 93 hips was available for follow-up. There were 67 men and 45 women. The mean follow-up was 87 months (range, 48–113 months). There were a total of 9 revisions: 2 for recurrent dislocations, 1 for a loose cup, and 6 for wear and osteolysis. Radiographic evaluation demonstrated that 22 (24%) hips had periacetabular osteolysis, and 16 of these 22 (73%) were associated with the screws. Twenty-two hips (23%) demonstrated osteolytic lesions around the femoral stem. Mean femoral head displacement was of 1.00 mm (range, 0.40–4.5 mm) with a rate of 0.16 mm/yr (range, 0.05–0.44 mm/yr). The Harris-Galante socket has maintained a low implant failure rate at intermediate term, even in these young patients. As follow-up increases, wear of the polyethylene and periprosthetic osteolysis may become growing concerns.

TL;DR: The data indicate RATKA patients to have equal or greater improvements in 9 out of 10 of the Knee Society Scoring System components assessed at 3 months postoperatively, though not all findings were statistically significant.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to perform a 3-month interim comparative analysis on outcomes between robotic-arm-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RATKA) and manual TKA patients. Specifically, we evaluated (1) patient self-reported symptoms, (2) expectations and satisfaction, and (3) functional activities, based on the 2011 Knee Society Scoring System. Between June 1, 2016, and March 31, 2018, 252 patients (102 manual and 150 robotic) were enrolled into a prospective, nonrandomized, open-label, multicenter comparative cohort study. Functional activity scores, patient-reported symptoms, as well as satisfaction and expectation scores were obtained from the 2011 Knee Society Scoring System preoperatively, at 4 to 6 weeks, and at 3 months postoperatively. Student's t-tests, Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, and chi-square tests with α set at 0.05 were used to compare between-group mean improvements from baseline. At 4 to 6 weeks postoperatively, RATKA patients were found to have significantly larger improvements in walking and standing (1.4 vs. –1.2 points; p = 0.019). RATKA patients were also found to have larger improvements in advanced activities (1.3 vs. 2.3 points), pain with walking (3.3 vs. 3.2 points), satisfaction score (12.4 vs. 12 points), and expectations score (5.1 vs. 4.4 points) when compared with manual TKA patients. At 3 months, RATKA patients were also found to have larger improvements in walking and standing (6.0 vs. 4.8 points), standard activities (11.4 vs. 10.1 points), advanced activities (6.2 vs. 4.6 points), functional activities total score (22.8 vs. 21.2 points), pain with walking (4.3 vs. 4.1 points), total symptoms score (10.5 vs. 10.3 points), satisfaction score (17.0 vs. 15.5 points), expectations score (4.8 vs. 4.0 points) when compared with manual TKA patients. The data indicate RATKA patients to have equal or greater improvements in 9 out of 10 of the Knee Society Scoring System components assessed at 3 months postoperatively, though not all findings were statistically significant. Since this is an early results report, this study will be continued for a longer follow-up, but we are encouraged by these interim results.
