To compare post-operative bleeding measures in patients who underwent prostatic artery embolization (PAE) prior to water-jet ablation (aquablation) vs. water-jet ablation alone. A retrospective review identified 145 patients treated with water-jet ablation for benign prostatic hyperplasia from December 2018 to June 2021.

Materials And Methods: The PubMed database was searched to identify articles on Inari's FlowTriever and Penumbra's Indigo mechanical thrombectomy devices (Group A) and the Ekos Endovascular system (Group B). Outcomes variables analyzed include pre- and post-procedure RV/LV ratio, pre- and post-procedure pulmonary artery pressure, hospital length of stay, technical success, specific complications, and mortality rate.
Purpose: To evaluate the correlation between clot burden and pulmonary artery pressures in patients undergoing suction thromboembolectomy for high-risk and intermediate-high-risk pulmonary embolism with secondary outcomes of 30-day mortality and intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay.
Materials And Methods: Institutional review board (IRB) exemption was granted for this retrospective study. The charts of 120 consecutive patients who underwent mechanical thromboembolectomy using the Flowtriever system (Inari Medical, Irvine, California) between February 2020 and August 2022 were retrospectively reviewed, and the following data were collected: (a) preprocedural B-type natriuretic peptide and creatinine levels, (b) echocardiographic findings, (c) preprocedural and postprocedural pulmonary artery pressures, (d) ICU length of stay, and (e) 30-day mortality.
Purpose: To assess perioperative blood loss following prostatic artery embolization (PAE) before surgery in patients undergoing simple prostatectomy.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was used to identify 63 patients (mean age, 65.3 ± 8.
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of preoperative renal artery embolization of renal cell carcinoma in reducing intraoperative blood loss during subsequent partial nephrectomy through a systematic review and meta-analysis of current literature.
Materials And Methods: The PubMed database was searched for articles published from 1970 to 2018 describing patients with renal cell carcinoma who underwent partial nephrectomy with and without preoperative embolization of the tumor. Demographic data, procedural techniques, and surgical outcomes were obtained when available.
Purpose: To evaluate outcomes following trans-arterial embolization of hypervascular appendicular bony tumors in patients undergoing orthopedic resection by performing a systematic review including data from the authors' institution.
Materials And Methods: From April 2008 to August 2018, 73 patients (59 males, mean age 58.1 years) with musculoskeletal tumors presented for embolization for preoperative devascularization prior to orthopedic surgery.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of Angioplasty and Stent Placement for the treatment of Portal Vein Stenosis in Liver Transplant Recipients by performing a systematic review.
Materials And Methods: The PubMed Database was extensively searched for articles describing Portal Vein Stenosis (PVS) as a complication in Liver Transplant (LT) patients. The initial database search yielded 488 unique records published in the PubMed Database, 19 of which were deemed to meet the inclusion criteria.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the use of the transradial approach (TRA) for treating traumatic bleeding at a trauma institution over a year, focusing on its efficacy, safety, and feasibility.* -
- Out of 39 patients, the TRA was attempted in 29 cases with a high technical success rate of 97% and no complications reported, even in some patients with hemodynamic instability.* -
- The findings support TRA as a safe and effective method for managing traumatic bleeding, highlighting its advantages over the transfemoral approach (TFA) in certain cases.*
Rationale And Objectives: To assess the current readability levels for online Internet-Based Patient Education Materials (IPEMs) related to treatment options for benign prostatic hyperplasia, including transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) and prostate artery embolization (PAE).
Materials And Methods: Using the Google search engine we identified 40 IPEMs pertaining to TURP and PAE. Readability analysis was performed using the following algorithms: Flesch Reading Ease Score (FRES), Flesch-Kincaid Grade Formula (FKGL), Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG), and the Gunning Frequency of Gobbledygook (GFOG).
