Article Synopsis
- This study explores the Double-vein Embolization technique used to enhance liver remnant size before major liver surgeries, with a focus on initial experiences at Semmelweis University, Hungary.
- Over a period of 16 procedures, results showed a 100% technical success rate with minimal complications, and significant increases in future liver remnant volume and function, indicating the technique's effectiveness.
- While outcomes align with existing literature, the authors emphasize the need for more research to determine how to best incorporate Double-vein Embolization into standard clinical practice.
Prostate artery embolization (PAE) is a technically challenging angiographic therapy that has been shown to have excellent clinical outcomes for men with benign prostatic hyperplasia and lower urinary tract symptoms. Although clinical outcomes have been well documented, several questions remain regarding various technical details of the procedure. This article is a brief review of indications and technical parameters of PAE as well as commonly debated topics throughout the literature.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA 76-year-old man with hepatocellular carcinoma was referred for liver radioembolization. Given a prior left hemihepatectomy, it was clinically important to consider potentially irradiated healthy liver at planning. Thus, at the SPECT/CT imaging of the scout dose 166 Ho-microparticles before injected superselectively in the right hepatic artery, 99m Tc-mebrofenin was injected intravenously, and functional volumetry SPECT was performed simultaneously.
