Does impaired endothelial function in patients with mild primary hyperparathyroidism improve after parathyroidectomy?
FMD and CIMT are impaired in patients with mild PHPT compared to controls and improved significantly after a successful Ptx. Ptx improves endothelial function in patients with mild PHPT that may lead to decreased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Penetrating carotid injuries should be resolved, if technically possible, with revascularization of the carotid sector. This procedure has to be aborted if the patient is in coma or the lesion is difficult to repair, in such a case ligature should be carried out.
