Does laparoscopic pyloromyotomy decrease postoperative length of stay in children with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis?
Compared to laparoscopic pyloromyotomy, open pyloromyotomy is independently associated with a higher likelihood of a prolonged postoperative LOS.
Administration of an antibody to the alpha4-integrin subunit is associated with less neoadventitial formation and less lumenal narrowing after balloon injury. This novel therapy may play an important role in modulating arterial remodelling and thereby may reduce restenosis following percutaneous coronary interventions in humans.
