Duplex Ultrasound of the Femoral Vein for Monitoring Endovascular Treatment of Aortocaval Fistula: A Case Report.

Aortocaval fistulas, typically linked to aortoiliac aneurysms, are rare vascular conditions. Currently, endovascular therapy is preferred treatment approach. However, endovascular therapy requires frequent and extended follow-up evaluations.

Cryoablation of osteoid osteomas: Is it a valid treatment option?

Background: Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor with characteristic clinical symptomatology. The selected method for its treatment is percutaneous radiofrequency ablation. However, percutaneous cryoablation is an alternative method with certain advantages.

Cryoprobe Placement Using Electromagnetic Navigation System (IMACTIS® CT-Navigation™) for Cryoablation Treatment of Upper Kidney Pole Lesions and Adrenal Metastases: Experience from a Single-Center, 4-Year Study.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the use of the IMACTIS CT-Navigation™-electromagnetic navigation system (EMNS) in cryoablation CT-guided procedures under local anesthesia for the treatment of upper kidney pole and adrenal lesions. We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with upper kidney pole lesions and adrenal metastases who underwent cryoablation using the IMACTIS-CT-EMNS between January 2019 and April 2023. The EMNS was used to guide the placement of the cryoprobes with CT guidance under local anesthesia.

Research paper: Two cases of multiple osteoid osteomas in young patients treated with cryoablation: Diagnosis, technical efficacy, and follow-up.

Osteoid osteomas are benign bone tumors characterized by severe localized pain, often challenging the daily lives of young patients. While these tumors are typically solitary, rare cases of multiple osteoid osteomas have been reported. This research paper presents a case series of 2 young patients with multiple osteoid osteomas, highlighting their clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, treatment with cryoablation, and follow-up.

A case report of life-threatening hemothorax after percutaneous lung biopsy successfully managed with embolization.

CT-guided lung biopsy is a widely used procedure for tissue identification. The complications are divided into minor and major with the latter being described as low rate. Hemothorax is reported at a rate of 0.
