- Even though these aspirations do not usually put the lives of patients at risk because barium is an inert material, we have found several case reports in the literature that have resulted in the death of the patients, who are usually seniors. (hindawi.com)
- LOS ANGELES - Removing a clot by using aspiration is noninferior to removing it by stent retrieval in stroke patients, a new multicenter trial has found. (medscape.com)
- The results showed that an aspiration-first approach to clot removal achieves equivalent functional outcomes for patients with acute ischemic stroke compared with using a stent retriever first and that time to reperfusion, and quality of reperfusion, were similar for the two approaches. (medscape.com)
- As for reperfusion rates, the percentage of patients achieving success (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction [TICI] grade 2b or greater) with the primary modality was 83.2% in the aspiration group and 81.3% in the stent retrieval group ( P = .75). (medscape.com)
- Patients with just small vessel infarcts had a significantly lower occurrence of aspiration (3 of 14, 21%) compared to those with both large-and small-vessel infarcts (15 of 20, 75%, p=0.002). (springer.com)
- While incision and drainage remains the treatment of choice for skin and soft tissue abscesses, some physicians have advocated needle aspiration as less invasive, causing less pain and scarring, and being more acceptable to patients, the researchers noted. (medpagetoday.com)
- To help clarify the issue, they conducted a nonblinded controlled trial, in which 54 emergency room patients at two academic centers were randomly assigned to incision and drainage and 47 to ultrasonographically guided needle aspiration. (medpagetoday.com)
- Overall, the success of both methods was lower in patients with CA-MRSA than with other infections -- 8% versus 55% for needle aspiration, and 61% versus 89% for incision and drainage. (medpagetoday.com)
