Are retrocervical deep infiltrating endometriotic lesions larger than thirty millimeters associated with an increased rate of ureteral involvement?
Patients undergoing surgery for retrocervical DIE lesions ≥ 30 mm in diameter have a greater risk of having ureteral involvement (17.9%).
Drugs can be incorporated into nanoparticle loaded microbubbles and thus be delivered to magnetizable stents from circulating fluids by applying external magnetic fields. This technology could allow for post-hoc drug coating of already implanted vascular stents.
