Antibacterial ‘Smart Stitches’ Reveal Location of Sutured Area in CT Scans
Surgical site infections are among the most common medical infections and occur in 2 to 4% of patients following surgery, although the infection rate can be much higher for some procedures, such as vaginal mesh implants to treat prolapse, infection. Now, a new antimicrobial suture material that glows in medical imaging offers a promising alternative for mesh implants and internal stitches. More...10 Feb 2023
Ultrafast MRI Predicts DCIS Upgrade to Invasive Cancer at Breast Surgery
Biopsy-proven ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) lesions are often upgraded to invasive cancer at surgery. As a result, accurate prediction of the likelihood of invasion can be helpful for surgical planning, including the need to perform sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). Now, a new study has found that ultrafast (UF) MRI provides beneficial information that can be used in surgical planning, including determining the need for SLNB. More...10 Feb 2023
Category-Defining Balloon Distal Access Catheter Allows Surgeons to Get Much Closer to Blood Clots
A new device combines the balloon guide catheters and distal access catheters currently used in thrombectomy to remove clots from the brains of stroke victims, allowing clinicians to get the balloon much closer to the clot. More...08 Feb 2023
Heart Valve That Grows Along With Child Could Reduce Invasive Surgeries
For the first time, a prosthetic pulmonary valve replacement specifically designed for pediatric patients can expand over time inside a child’s anatomy. This could eliminate the need to perform invasive replacement surgeries every few years as the child will not require another replacement procedure until reaching adulthood. More...
