Assessing the Feasibility and Diagnostic Value of Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangioscopy Biopsy for Biliary Strictures.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic value of percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy biopsy (PTCB) for identifying the causes of biliary strictures.

Methods: This retrospective study included 34 patients (18 females and 16 males), with a mean age of 59.4 ± 13 years.

Percutaneous transhepatic bilioenteric neoanastomosis: A novel approach for managing bile duct injuries following choledochal cyst resection in patients with anatomical variations of the biliary tree: A case study.

Bile duct injuries are rare complications of hepatobiliary pancreatic surgery, leading to severe complications if not timely diagnosed and treated, with surgery traditionally being the primary treatment option. However, percutaneous transhepatic or endoscopic interventions have recently gained widespread use. We present a case study of a patient with variant biliary anatomy, who suffered biliary tract injury postcholedochal cyst resection and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy; successfully treated with percutaneous transhepatic bilioenteric neoanastomosis, guided by ultrasound and digital subtraction angiography (DSA).

Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease: Brain MRI lesion features from 2 cases reports.

Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is an uncommon prion disease, also a fatal degenerative brain disorder. We aimed to illustrate 2 clinical cases, a 60-year-old female and a 57-year-old male, who came to the hospital due to rapidly progressive cognitive decline. A 1.

Preoperative embolization of hypervascular spinal tumors: Two case reports.

The performance of preoperative embolization on a spinal tumor can be a useful adjunctive procedure that minimizes blood loss and complications, particularly for both metastatic and non-metastatic hypervascular tumors. We discuss two cases of hypervascular spinal tumors that were successfully treated with preoperative embolization and surgery. The first patient was an 18-year-old man who presented with cervical and shoulder pain for two months without paralysis or weakness.

Percutaneous transhepatic holmium laser lithotripsy for cholelithiasis and balloon dilation for common bile duct stone removal.

Biliary lithiasis is common in clinical practice. We present the case of a 53-year-old man referred to our hospital with a history of biliary lithiasis. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging revealed gallbladder stones and common bile duct stones.

Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholecystolithotomy by Holmium Laser for Non-high-Risk Patients with Symptomatic Gallbladder Stones.

Background: The development of gallstones, also known as cholelithiasis, is one of the most common diseases associated with the gastrointestinal tract. In developing countries 10% to 15% of men and >25% of women experience gallstones.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the outcomes following percutaneous transhepatic cholecystolithotomy by holmium laser in non-high-risk patients with symptomatic gallbladder stones.

Percutaneous embolization of hepatic lymphorrhea post-hepatectomy.

Abdominal effusion due to hepatic lymphorrhea post-hepatectomy is an extremely rare and complex complication in clinical practice. No standard treatment method has been established for this condition to date. We report a case of complicated intra-abdominal lymphatic leakage in a patient following hepatectomy to treat hepatocellular carcinoma.

Percutaneous Transhepatic Holmium Laser Lithotripsy for Giant Biliary Stones.

This case report describes a young female patient with a history of surgery to treat choledochal cyst since childhood who was admitted to our hospital with cholangitis. An imaging examination revealed giant stones that almost completely filled the intrahepatic biliary tract. The patient underwent percutaneous transhepatic lithotripsy using a holmium laser.

Endovascular treatment of ruptured blister-like aneurysms: A case report and review of the literature.

A ruptured blister-like aneurysm of the internal carotid artery is a rare event with a high risk of recurrence and mortality. Selecting an appropriate treatment modality remains challenging due to a lack of consensus or specific recommendations in the literature. In this article, we present the case of a 68-year-old man who presented with ruptured blister-like aneurysms in the supraclinoid portion of the internal carotid artery.

Diagnosis and treatment of hemosuccus pancreaticus induced by intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm: a case report and review of the literature.

Determining the cause of gastrointestinal bleeding is critical to determining appropriate treatment. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding from the pancreas, referred to hemosuccus pancreaticus, is a rare entity that can cause massive and life-threatening bleeding. Diagnosis remains challenging, and the mortality rate of hemosuccus pancreaticus remains high, ranging from 9.

A case report of pericallosal aneurysm successfully treated with flow diverter stents.

Pericallosal artery aneurysm (PAA) is a relatively uncommon type of intracranial aneurysm that tends to rupture more frequently and cause higher mortality rates than other types of cerebral aneurysms. Surgery to address PAA is difficult due to its deep-seated location, the size of the aneurysmal sac, and the limited surgical field. In recent years, with the development of percutaneous interventions, endovascular treatment has become the preferred, minimally invasive intervention method for the treatment of pericallosal aneurysms.

A Spatio-Temporal Attention-Based Model for Infant Movement Assessment From Videos.

The absence or abnormality of fidgety movements of joints or limbs is strongly indicative of cerebral palsy in infants. Developing computer-based methods for assessing infant movements in videos is pivotal for improved cerebral palsy screening. Most existing methods use appearance-based features and are thus sensitive to strong but irrelevant signals caused by background clutter or a moving camera.

Emergency embolization for breast pseudoaneurysm following vacuum-assisted biopsy: a case report.

Vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) is a minimally invasive procedure and has become an important treatment method. Although VABB is a minimally invasive procedure, it might cause complications, particularly those associated with blood vessels. In this article, we aimed to describe a 35-year-old female who experienced pseudoaneurysm post-VABB and was successfully treated with embolization.

Flow diverter stent for treatment of cerebral aneurysms: A report of 130 patients with 134 aneurysms.

Background: This study aims to report our experience with cerebral aneurysms, which may improve in the treatment with the flow-diverter stent and follow up.

Methods: This study was conducted in a consecutive series of 130 patients. 134 procedures were performed for treating these patients in Hanoi Medical University Hospital and Bach Mai Hospital from January 2012 to April 2017.

Interventional Treatment of Lymphatic Leakage Post Appendectomy: Case Report.

Background: Postoperative lymphatic complications are not common, and lymphatic leakage complication post appendectomy (LLCPC) is even rarer. However, the number of this operation is high so LLCPC can occur.

Case Report: Here, we report a female patient post appendectomy with severe chylous ascites.
