Axillary vein puncture versus cephalic vein cutdown for cardiac implantable electronic device implantation Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Introduction: Cephalic vein cutdown (CVC) and axillary vein puncture (AVP) are both recommended for transvenous implantation of leads for cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). Nonetheless, it is still debated which of the two techniques has a better safety and efficacy profile. Methods: We systematically searched Medline, Embase, and Cochrane electronic databases up to September 5, 2022, for studies that evaluated the efficacy and ...
Where there is no brain imaging: safety and diagnostic value of lumbar puncture in patients with neurological disorders in a rural hospital of Central Africa Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde KU Leuven

In low-resource settings, it is even often the only available diagnostic method. Despite its key contribution, little is known on the risks and benefits of LP in the large tropical areas where hospital-based neuroimaging is not available. The objectives of this study ...
