Abstract:
Retention of guidewire during a neurointervention procedure is extremely rare and potentially lethal. We report a successful operation on an aortic rupture caused by a retained guidewire from a neurointervention procedure 2 years ago. During the operation, we took out the guidewire from both the aortic arch and femoral artery. Postoperative treatment was uneventful. At the 10-month follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic and computed tomography showed no abnormality.

Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
