Intra aortic balloon pump: literature review of risk factors related to complications of the intraaortic balloon pump

Results of triple valve replacement in 91 patients: perioperative mortality and long-term follow-up.
MR imaging in hydatid disease of the liver
We describe the appearance on MR of hydatid disease of the liver in 2 patients. The lesions were well demonstrated using spin-echo pulse sequences, and could be easily seen with either T 1 or T 2 weighting; however, maximum information was obtained using both. In these 2 cases, a thin, low signal boundary was noted around the cysts; this finding may prove useful in differential diagnosis.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/48133/1/261_2005_Article_BF01885100.pd
