CONCLUSIONS: Patch augmentation of the MPA was associated with acceptable outcomes, while patch augmentation of PA branch stenosis remained independently associated with re-intervention. None of the used patch materials demonstrated superiority; however, BP had a higher rate of re-interventions.

CONCLUSIONS: Duroplasty prevents collapse of the dura-mater over the spinal cord tissue, as well as invasion of the lesion by extramedullary fibrotic tissue, without creating additional neural damage. Nevertheless, it enhances the fibrotic response in the spinal cord lesion and the perilesional area. Additional antifibrotic strategies are needed to facilitate spinal cord repair.

Descending necrotizing mediastinitis (DNM) is a type of acute mediastinitis that is rarely reported but is regarded as a fatal disease despite improvements in technological methods and antibiotic therapies. We...
