Does diannexin reduce no-reflow after reperfusion in rabbits with large ischemic myocardial risk zones?
Diannexin was cardioprotective in rabbits with a severe ischemic insult. This is important, because large infarcts accompanied by no-reflow in humans are associated with increased complications. In animals with small risk zones, no significant drug effect was observed.
Technical and immediate clinical success of CBD stenting in patients with CBD stenoses due to CP is high; however, long-term complete normalization of the bile duct is rare. Endoscopic drainage of CBD-stenosis in patients with CP can be recommended to alleviate acute cholestasis, but not yet as a definite treatment.
