Abstract:

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) dysfunction rates have significantly decreased since the introduction of stent grafts. However, TIPS occlusion remains a recognized complication, especially when bare-metal stents are used or when the cephalad end of the stent does not extend into the inferior vena cava (IVC). Antegrade recanalization of the occluded TIPS can be routinely achieved using a coaxial or a triaxial sheath system, which provides sufficient stability and pushability to recanalize the TIPS. However, occasionally this cannot be achieved due to the difficult angulatio

Abstract:

A retrograde nephroureteral catheter is placed in patients who have undergone cystectomy with ileal conduit formation. An ileal conduit connects the ureters to a loop of bowel that is then secured to the anterior abdominal wall to allow for ostomy bag drainage. Patients may develop complications in the form of stricture at the ureteroenteric junction causing obstruction. These patients may need temporary diversion of urine through a nephrostomy catheter. The retrograde nephroureteral catheter is a better option because it provides a less invasive and safer approach. Unlike the routine exchange

Abstract:

This chapter describes the steps in management, applications, challenges, and potential complications when a microcatheter becomes clogged during an embolization. If a microcatheter does become occluded during an embolization, it can be a challenge to clear it without removing the catheter completely, thus losing access to the desired location. If a standard 1-cc syringe is placed and manual pressure is applied to clear the catheter, this can generate pressures up to 100 times the arterial blood pressure, thus risking nontarget embolization from the residual embolic material in the microcathet

Abstract:

There are many methods of exchanging occluded or clogged percutaneous catheters. Typically, catheter exchange is simply performed over a guidewire. When debris occluding the lumen is compact, chronic, or extensive, such exchanges are difficult. Because salvaging an obstructed catheter, without risking loss of access, is difficult, multiple techniques to preserve organ access have been developed. This chapter describes a technique whereby a peel-away sheath is advanced over the catheter to re-establish organ access and facilitate catheter exchange. The placement of a coaxial peel-away sheath is

Abstract:

When the vertex of an occluded angle geometrically belongs to the side of the occluding surface, the occluded angle looks distorted. This characteristic effect of coincidental occlusion—called the Gerbino illusion—is consistent with the phenomenal rounding of angles observed under conditions of symmetrical occlusion. Both effects are robust and appear in static and dynamic displays. The Gerbino illusion differs from distortions observed in Poggendorff-like displays, runs against the tendency to global Prägnanz, and reveals important aspects of amodal completion processes.

Abstract:

Obtaining retrograde femoral access is a novel approach to treat difficult chronic total occlusions of the femoral arteries. The technique involves direct ultrasound-guided puncture of the mid to proximal superficial femoral artery. Using this access, a guidewire is advanced in a retrograde manner into the patent femoral or iliac artery above. This wire is then snared and brought out the contralateral sheath to allow safe access into the occluded vessel. The recanalization procedure can then be completed in a standard fashion. This technique is extremely useful in flush occlusions of the super

Abstract:

The concept of left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion is to mainly prevent stroke by excluding the most relevant source of embolism from the blood circulation. The LAA can be occluded by a number of interventional or surgical approaches. Following a successful LAA occlusion implant procedure or surgical LAA exclusion, oral anticoagulation is typically terminated, followed by antiplatelet therapy, which is routinely used in the post-implant phase for 3–6 months. The need for chronic antiplatelet therapy is still unclear. Most patients are maintained on a single antiplatelet medication, but patie

Abstract:

Fundamental to all balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration procedures is the catheterization of the gastric varix via its drainage through a gastrorenal shunt and its subsequent sclerosis. Although routinely performed with little difficulty in experienced hands, there exist clinical scenarios and anatomic factors that present technical challenges to the procedure. A common challenge is the delivery of the occlusion balloon to the neck of the gastrorenal shunt to allow occlusion. Two main factors affect this: the angulation of the veins relative to one another and the size of the b

Abstract:

Perception of object shape is typically accurate and robust, even when objects move behind occluding surfaces, thus fragmenting their visible regions across space and over time. However, when an object is seen moving behind an occluding surface with only two misaligned apertures, a striking perceptual illusion occurs. The object appears distorted in the same direction as the offset of the apertures. This “aperture capture illusion” reveals the limits of spatiotemporal object formation and gives clues as to how the human visual system perceives dynamically occluded objects under normal circumst

Part policier, part melodrama, part “art” film, part “B” or exploitation picture, The Crimson Kimono deploys the sort of self-reflexive devices associated with Douglas Sirk’s ‘50s melodramas in order to “estrange” or “alienate” the dark crime film. For example, by portraying an interracial romance and commenting on the cliché of Oriental inscrutability, The Crimson Kimono foregrounds the black-and-white moral calculus of melodrama even as italicizes the racial difference, not to

Abstract:

The cultural production of Spanish-speaking New York is closely linked to the Caribbean and to Latin America at large, but the city also plays a pivotal role in the work of a host of authors from the Iberian Peninsula, writing in Spanish, Catalan, and English. In many cases, their New York City texts have marked their careers and the history of their national literatures. Drawing from a variety of genres, Translating New York recovers cultural narratives occluded by single linguistic or national literary histories, and proposes that reading these texts through the lens of translation unveils n

Abstract:

Gunslinging justice explores American Westerns in a variety of media alongside the historical development of the American legal system to argue that Western shootouts are less overtly “anti-law” than has been previously assumed. While the genre’s climactic shootouts may look like a putatively masculine opposition to the codified and mediated American legal system, this gun violence is actually enshrined in the development of American laws regulating self-defense and gun possession. The climactic gun violence and stylized revenge drama of seminal Western texts then, seeks not to oppose "the law

Abstract:

Performing Epic or Telling Tales takes the new millennium as a starting point for an exploration of the turn to narrative in twenty-first-century theatre, which is often also a turn to Graeco-Roman epic. However, the dominant focus of Performing Epic is less on ‘what’ the recent epic turn in the theatre consists of than ‘why’ it seems to be so prevalent. The authors explain this turn with reference not only to the translation and scholarly histories of the epics but also to earlier performance traditions and, notably, to recent theoretical debates relating to text-based ‘drama’ and performance

Abstract:

International relations (IR) and security studies lack a coherent and developed body of inquiry on the issue of empire. The central focus of IR situates discussion of imperialism and hierarchy outside the core of the discipline, and on its fringes where scholars from other disciplines engage with IR and security studies literature. Similarly, security studies focus on major war between great powers, not “small wars” between the strong and the weak. The general neglect of empire and imperialism in IR and security studies can be attributed to Eurocentrism, of the unreflective assumption of the c

Abstract:

Many different features figure consciously in our perceptual experiences, in the sense that they make a subjective difference to those experiences. These features range from colours and shapes to volumes and backsides, from natural or artefactual kinds to reasons for perceptual belief, and from the existence and externality of objects to the relationality and wakefulness of our perceptual awareness of them. The topic of this collection of essays is the different ways in which features like these can be phenomenally present in perceptual experience. In particular, the focus is on features that

Abstract:

The theme of The Planetary Clock is the representation of time in postmodern culture and the way temporality as a global phenomenon manifests itself differently across an antipodean axis. To trace postmodernism in an expansive spatial and temporal arc, from its formal experimentation in the 1960s to environmental concerns in the twenty-first century, is to describe a richer and more complex version of this cultural phenomenon. Exploring different scales of time from a Southern Hemisphere perspective, with a special emphasis on issues of Indigeneity and the Anthropocene, The Planetary Clock off

Abstract:

“Discipline” explores how the performance of justice, with its associated aesthetics and normative codes, involves disciplines that seek to “translate” discourse, bodily movement, and subjectivity into a juridical form, one that asserts the liberal democratic, right-bearing subjectivity the transitional justice imaginary aspires to produce. Drawing in part on translation theory, this chapter notes that such translation involves power, discourse, control, and a sort of exile as speech and actions are shaped into a form according with juridical order. These attempts to realize the transitional j
