Laser treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in patients on oral anticoagulant therapy: a review.

20 Dec 2009 We assessed the therapeutic efficacy and safety of laser prostatectomy (LP) for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in patients on oral anticoagulation. We systematically reviewed previous reports, using the Pubmed database and ... Read more...

Iliac-caval stenting in the obese.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) in the obese, often with severe clinical manifestations, is increasingly encountered in clinical practice. The association has drawn special interest as the pathophysiology may be different from that ... Read more...

Treatment of recurrent varicose veins of the great saphenous vein by conventional surgery and endovenous laser ablation.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: Varicose vein recurrence of the great saphenous vein (GSV) is a common, costly, and complex problem. The aim of the study was to assess feasibility of endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) in recurrent varicose veins of the GSV and to compare ... Read more...
