Gallbladder drainage and cystic duct stenting

Acute cholecystitis (AC) is one of the commonest presentations to the surgical ward in developed countries. Clinical features, blood analysis and imaging usually lead to an early diagnosis and prompt initiation of antibiotic and supportive medical therapy.

The use of MRI for congenital cardiac disease

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging provides a tool for comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. The benefit of this imaging modality, particularly for paediatric and adult patients with congenital heart disease, is undisputed. At low risk, and often within one study, CMR can give invaluable morphologic, functional and haemodynamic data. This helps guide diagnosis, risk stratification and procedural […]
