    Notes: Abstract. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of coaxial approach in difficult-to-cross lesions in patients with failed percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty by conventional over-the-wire exchange technique. Twelve stenoses in 10 patients (six women and four men; age range 19 ± 7 years) with uncontrolled hypertension were treated by this method. The stenosis was caused by nonspecific aortoarteritis in 8 patients and fibromuscular dysplasia in 2 patients. It was ostial in seven and post-ostial in five vessels. Conventional exchange technique was unsuccessful in all of them. All procedures were done by femoral route. Technical success was seen in 11 (92 %), without complication. The stenosis improved from 90 ± 2.1 % (range 80–100 %) to 6 ± 7 % (range 0–20 %), blood pressure decreased from 198 ± 12.3 mm Hg (range 180–220 mm Hg)/130 ± 6.7 mm Hg (range 120–140 mm Hg) to 119 ± 5.7 mm Hg (range 110–130 mm Hg)/83 ± 3.9 mm Hg (range 80–90 mm Hg), and number of drug treatments for hypertension fell from 3.6 ± 0.52 (range 3–4) to 1 ± 0.94 (range 0–3; p 〈 0.01). Percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty resulted in “cure” in 3 patients and “improvement” in 7 patients. Follow-up period was 3–21 months (mean 6.4 months). No restenosis was detected. Coaxial approach is safe and effective in treating difficult-to-cross lesions in which renal angioplasty by conventional exchange technique is unsuccessful.

    Notes: Abstract Sixty-nine Kuwaiti patients with osteoarthritis (OA) were studied. Primary knee OA was seen in 65 (94.2%) patients. The mean age of this group was 53.18 years with a range of 39–97 years. The female to male ratio was 2.82∶1. OA was bilateral in 84.62% and predominantly involved the medial tibiofemoral joint. According to Kellgren's grading of knee OA, grade 1 changes were present in 40.0%, grade 2 in 32.5%, grade 3 in 22.5% and grade 4 in 5.0%. Grade I obesity was seen in 13%, grade II in 64% and grade III in 23% of patients. Generalised primary nodular OA was seen in only four patients, all of whom were women. Primary OA of the hip joint and chondrocalcinosis were conspicuous by their absence.
