Launching a new continuing professional development programme from the Raven Department of Education.

In recent years the quality agenda has taken centre stage in the medical arena. Coupled with this, the present era of rapid scientific and technological advance means that all professionals are engaged in a continuing process of life-long learning. With the pace of change increasing all the time, new thinking challenges conventional wisdom and traditional methods are constantly being superseded. Continuing professional development is the only way for surgeons to stay at the leading edge in such as challenging environment at every stage in their career, to progress--to be participants in these changes rather than merely observers.

Greenfield vena caval filter experience: late results in 156 patients.

In a review of clinical experience with the Greenfield filter in 156 patients, the most common indication for insertion was a contraindication to anticoagulation or recurrent embolism during treatment. Most of the filters (86%) were placed infrarenal, with 7% placed intentionally suprarenal and 7% misplaced but amenable to retrieval. Recurrent embolism was suspected in three patients (2%) on the basis of symptoms and was diagnosed by scan in three patients (2%). Follow-up studies on 119 local patients (11 were lost, 49 died) extended to 63 months (average, 23 months) and showed no migration or deaths due to recurrent embolism. Of 102 venacavograms obtained, occlusion of the cava was seen in only three patients (5%), for a long-term patency rate of 95%.
