Endovascular Aspiration Thrombectomy in the Management of Kidney Ischemia: A Case Report.

Renal artery occlusion is a serious event that can result in significant impairment or loss of renal function, leading to dialysis dependency. The nonspecific signs and symptoms of its presentation frequently result in a delay in diagnosis, thus contributing to delay in treatment. We report the case of a 53-year old woman who suffered renal artery occlusion, in which the renal perfusion was restored after three days of ischemia, by endovascular aspiration thrombectomy.

Varicocele Due to Post-traumatic Arteriovenous Fistula.

Varicocele consists of abnormally dilated and tortuous veins within the pampiniform plexus, usually in the left scrotum. We reported a rare case of right varicocele due to post-traumatic arteriovenous fistula successfully treated by percutaneous embolization.

Radiologic Percutaneous Gastrostomy in Nondistended Stomach: A Modified Approach.

Introduction: Gastrostomy tube placement for patients requiring long-term nutritional support may be performed using different techniques including endoscopic, surgical, and percutaneous radiologically guided methods. Radiologically inserted gastrostomy (RIG), typically performed when percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is not possible, requires proper gastric distension that is achieved by insufflating air through a nasogastric tube. We describe a simple technique to prevent air escape from the stomach during gastrostomy tube placement.
