Treatment of the Budd-Chiari syndrome by insertion of a wall-stent in the hepatic vein after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty: the necessity of follow-up.

Budd-Chiari syndrome is a rare disease and, with or without treatment, the prognosis is usually poor. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the hepatic vein in Budd-Chiari syndrome is a safe method, although recurrent stenosis makes it necessary to repeat it several times in most cases. Insertion of a wall-stent in the hepatic vein seems to be a more long-lasting treatment. Monitoring the blood flow through the wall-stent every 6 months is important because of the apparent obliteration of the wall-stent by intimal fibrosis of the hepatic vein. Further follow-up investigations of this method are necessary.

Selective low-dose thrombolysis in patients with an axillary-subclavian vein thrombosis.

The treatment of axillary-subclavian vein thrombosis is still controversial. Development of a post-phlebitic syndrome in patients treated conservatively occurs in many patients. Therefore more aggressive treatment is advocated. We report six patients treated with selective low-dose streptokinase infusion with excellent short-term results. Major complications did not occur. Recanalisation was observed in all patients. Long-term results are not yet available.

A new method for electromyography of the female urethra.

A newly developed catheter enables the introduction of fine wire electrodes into the urethral striated sphincter muscle at predetermined locations and depths. Because of FET-probes electrode wires can be short, thus the signals show minimal artifacts owing to cable movement. The technique 1) facilitates registration of signals during coughing, walking, micturition and other activities, 2) is simple to perform and painless to the patient, 3) can be done by inexperienced personnel and 4) provides assurance that the electrodes are in the urethral sphincter muscle.
