A tectonic keratoplasty was performed with a keratoprosthesis using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene as a supporting skirt, on the left eye of a 23-year-old woman who needed an emergency corneal transplantation due...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE, Goretex (R) ) containing large pores made with a 21-gauge needle as a graft for the correction of lower lid...
The most important problem in the transplantation of artificial cornea is the extrusion of keratoprosthesis. So we performed this study to know the conditions to keep the keratoprosthesis as long...
Since the anterior chamber tube shunt to an encircling band(ACTSEB) is not a simple procedure, an extended polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE)-silicone tube (anterior chamber tube shunt to a surgical membrane; ACTSSM) was...
PURPOSE: Augmentation rhinoplasty using alloplastic materials is a relatively common procedure among Asians. Silicon, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (Gore-tex(R)), and porous high density polyethylene (Medpor(R)) are most frequently used materials. This study...
PURPOSE: We explored the performance of and pressure elevation caused by small-diameter microtubes used to reduce overfiltration.
METHODS: Using a syringe pump-driven constant-flow setting (2 µL/min), pressures were measured for polytetrafluoroethylene...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of unilateral covered stent placement in patients with malignant superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between October 2008 and November 2012, expanded...
