Is concomitant use of enteral nutrition therapy associated with sustained response to infliximab in patients with Crohn 's disease?
Concomitant use of EN ≥ 600 kcal/day is likely to yield a sustained response to IFX in CD patients.
MT using a distal device proved to be a fast, effective, and safe procedure for recanalizing short (10-mm) occlusions in the animal model. However, occlusion length emerged as a crucial determinant for MT with a significant decrease in recanalization success per attempt and increased complication rates. These findings suggest limitations of MT in the clinical application.
