ivalon sponge

06/01/1994 - "Sixty-three patients (62 women) with full-thickness rectal prolapse were entered into a prospective randomized trial of Ivalon sponge rectopexy (31 patients) versus sutured rectopexy (32). "
06/01/1994 - "Prospective randomized trial of Ivalon sponge versus sutured rectopexy for full-thickness rectal prolapse."
06/01/1994 - "Ivalon sponge rectopexy is a safe reliable procedure in the management of rectal prolapse. "
07/01/1990 - "Bowel habit in 57 rectal prolapse patients was assessed before and after abdominal Ivalon rectopexy. "
05/01/1987 - "Twenty-four consecutive patients (mean age: 74 years) with complete rectal prolapse, fifteen of whom were incontinent of solid stool, have been treated by postanal repair and intersphincteric Ivalon sponge rectopexy. "

07/01/2008 - "In conclusion, TACE is a safe and effective treatment for advanced HCC with IVC and RA tumors, and small Ivalon particles (47-180 microm) are superior to large ones (>180 microm)."
06/01/2005 - "The tumor was embolized with Ivalon microparticles obtaining a nearly avascular mass. "
07/01/1988 - "Intraoperative hemostasis was assisted by the use of preoperative selective embolization of the tumor mass and the peripheral location of the injected Ivalon was confirmed histologically. "
02/01/1982 - "Therapeutic Ivalon embolization of hepatic tumors."
11/01/1984 - "A combination of small Gelfoam particles and polyvinyl alcohol foam particles (250-590 mu diameter) was used to devascularize maximally the tumors that were embolized. "

07/01/2000 - "In 1967, Porstmann et al reported the use of Ivalon plug to close patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). "
03/01/2000 - "In 1967, Porstmann et al reported the use of Ivalon plug to close patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). "
01/01/1999 - "Transvenous closure of patent ductus arteriosus with Ivalon plugs. "
01/01/1997 - "An Ivalon-plug (PDA-plug) has been developed for transvenous closure of patent ductus arteriosus. "
01/01/1999 - "The authors assess the clinical efficacy of transvenous closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with a new plug consisting of Ivalon foam and a platinum/iridium frame with four aortic and two pulmonary nitinol struts. "

07/01/1994 - "Gelfoam, Ivalon and alcohol were used to treat vascular malformations. "
06/01/1988 - "Embolization and subsequent surgical removal are the treatment of choice for facial angiomas; embolization alone is useful in the management of surgically inaccessible vascular malformations, and it can be the only treatment in patients with small low-flow angiomas when distal occlusion of the feeding vessels with Lyodura or Ivalon particles is performed."
10/01/2002 - "In 128 patients with intravertebral canals vascular malformation, their AVMS or fistulae were treated with silk thread, Ivalon microspheres or tungsten microcoils. "

09/14/1963 - "The Ivalon sponge procedure proved to be most effective in relieving artificially produced myocardial ischemia. "
