Amplatzer Vascular Plugs for Embolisation: A 10-Year Single-Centre Retrospective Study.

Our objective was to investigate the indications, effectiveness, and safety of Amplatzer Vascular Plugs (AVPs) in clinical practice. To retrospectively identify patients managed with AVPs at the Dijon University Hospital between January 2011 and April 2021, we searched materials vigilance registries and procedure reports. The 110 identified patients underwent 111 procedures with delivery of 202 AVPs into 118 vessels; 84% of the procedures were performed by radiologists with over 10 years' experience and 67% were scheduled.

How do medical students, residents and graduated physicians really perceive radiologists? A cross-national study.

Background: Radiology has always been an attractive specialty for residents, but its attractiveness has recently decreased in France regarding the median choice rank after at the National Residency Board.

Aim: To study Radiologists' perceptions and social representations (SRs) among a group of medical students, residents and graduated physicians in France, to better understand the view of Radiologists to debunk stereotypes.

Methods: The nationwide web-based survey was based on valid hierarchical evocation methods.

Embolisation Using Microvascular Plugs for Peripheral Applications: Technical Results and Mid-Term Outcomes.

The Micro Vascular Plug (MVP, Medtronic) is a mechanical embolic agent available in small sizes that allows for distal embolisation. The objective of this retrospective observational single-centre study was to assess MVP embolisation procedures performed at a university hospital. The 33 patients who underwent MVP embolisation in 2021 were included (mean age, 64; 24 males and 9 females).

Left gastric vein embolization during TIPS placement for acute variceal bleeding has no effect on bleeding recurrence: Results of a multicenter study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether concomitant left gastric vein embolization (LGVE) during transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for acute variceal hemorrhage could reduce the risk of bleeding recurrence.

Material And Method: A national multicenter observational study was conducted in 14 centers between January 2019 and December 2020. All cirrhotic patients who underwent TIPS placement for acute variceal bleeding were included.

Preoperative prediction of inadvertent enterotomy during adhesive small bowel obstruction surgery using combination of CT features.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify the preoperative CT features that are associated with inadvertent enterotomy (IE) during adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) surgery.

Methods: From January 2015 to December 2019, all patients with ASBO who underwent an abdominal CT were reviewed. Abdominal CT were retrospectively reviewed by two radiologists with a consensus read in case of disagreement.
