Utility of Cone-Beam CT for Bronchial Artery Embolization and Chemoinfusion: A Single-Institution Retrospective Case Series.

Purpose: To describe the technique and document utility of adjunctive cone-beam CT (CBCT) in patients undergoing bronchial artery embolization (BAE) or chemoinfusion (BAC).

Materials And Methods: Between August 2010 and February 2021, 26 patients (62 bronchial arteries) were evaluated with CBCT in addition to the usual digital subtraction angiography (DSA) during BAE or BAC. 19 patients (43 arteries) underwent BAE for hemoptysis; 7 patients (19 arteries) had BAC for palliation of lung malignancy.

How to locate and treat lymph leaks using patent blue V dye and Floseal.

Lymph leaks after vascular groin dissections can be a challenging postoperative complication for both patient and surgeon. A multidisciplinary team at a district general hospital in the United Kingdom consisting of breast, plastic, and vascular surgeons performed intraoperative lymphatic mapping using patent blue V dye to locate the exact location of a groin lymph leak before sealing the leak with direct vision ligation and Floseal Hemostatic Matrix (Baxter Healthcare Corp., Hayward, CA).

Systematic review of the operative and non-operative management of acute upper limb ischemia.

Acute upper limb ischaemia (AULI) can be managed surgically, via interventional radiology, and conservatively, but no real guidelines exist for when a conservative approach is appropriate. A systematic review of the literature is presented of the surgical, radiological and conservative management of AULI. A search was performed using the electronic databases Medline and Embase.

Dermal substitute template use in diabetic foot ulcers: case reports.

Diabetic foot ulcers are a source of significant morbidity. Maximizing limb salvage is an important long-term objective. The use of dermal substitutes to aid limb salvage and reduce amputation rates has been described recently in the literature.
