ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: Calcific tendinopathy of the rotator cuff is a common condition caused by the deposition of calcium crystals in the tendons of the rotator cuff. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided puncture and aspiration in calcific tendinopathy of the should in 86 patients treated at our center and to determine the factors associated with poor prognosis after this treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This retrospective descriptive study included 86 patients with calcific tendinopathy of the rotator cuff treated with ultrasound-guided puncture and aspiration between 2015 and 2019 for whom clinical and radiological variables were collected 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after the procedure. RESULTS: One year after treatment, 81.4% patients showed clinical improvement and 96.5% showed radiological improvement. Complications were observed in 34.9%; all complications were mild. CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound-guided puncture and aspiration is an effective treatment for calcific tendinopathy of the shoulder, resulting in a high rate of clinical and radiological improvement and a low rate of minor complications. This technique has additional advantages, such as interaction with the patient and the lack of ionizing radiation.

ABSTRACT
La instilación endovesical de bacilo de Calmette-Guérin (BCG) es un tratamiento complementario eficaz para el cáncer de vejiga superficial, una vez realizada la resección transuretral. Se ha comprobado que este tratamiento retrasa la progresión tumoral, disminuye la probabilidad de que el paciente tenga que someterse a una cistectomía futura y mejora la supervivencia. En general se trata de un tratamiento eficaz y bien tolerado. Entre las complicaciones locales más frecuentes están el síndrome miccional irritativo, la hematuria y casos de infección genitourinaria local. Las complicaciones sistémicas son mucho menos frecuentes. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 71 años, en tratamiento con bacilo de Calmette-Guérin intravesical por cáncer de vejiga, que presenta de forma adversa una tuberculosis miliar secundaria al tratamiento. Se trata de una complicación excepcional por su frecuencia, potencialmente letal y que requiere la interrupción inmediata del tratamiento
The intravesical instillation of bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is an efficacious complementary treatment for superficial bladder cancer after transurethral resection. This treatment delays progression, decreases the probability that the patient will have to undergo cystectomy in the future, and improves survival; it is generally efficacious and well tolerated. Among the most common local complications are irritative symptoms, hematuria, local genitourinary infection. Systemic complications are much less common. We present the case of a 71-year-old man who developed miliary tuberculosis secondary to treatment with intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin for bladder cancer. This is exceptionally uncommon complication is potentially lethal and requires the immediate discontinuation of treatment
