Coil Embolization of Variant Hepatic Arteries During Percutaneous Arterial Port Catheter Placement for Intraarterial Chemotherapy: Analysis of Intrahepatic Perfusion Redistribution and Treatment Efficacy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the intrahepatic perfusion redistribution after embolization of hepatic arterial variants during percutaneous arterial port catheter placement as well as to investigate the treatment efficacy of intraarterial chemotherapy in perfusion redistribution-dependent compared to redistribution-independent liver areas.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 62 patients (67.7% males, mean age of 56 ± 12 years).

Percutaneous Fixation of Impending Fracture of the Hip.

According to the literature, prophylactic consolidation of proximal femur lytic metastasis the is recommended when the Mirels' score is above 8. Osteoplasty (cementoplasty of proximal femur) alone provides inadequate consolidation. Various mini-invasive technics, augmented osteoplasties, have been proposed for better long-term consolidation.

Endovascular Treatment of Pelvic Congestion Syndrome: Visual Analog Scale Follow-Up.

To evaluate medium-term clinical outcomes of transcatheter embolization and stenting in women with several pelvic venous disorders responsible for chronic pelvic pain and varicose veins of the lower limbs. The study population included 327 consecutively recruited patients referred to the interventional radiology unit from January 2014 to December 2019 due to chronic pelvic congestion (91; 27.83%), lower limb varices (15; 4.

Image-guided Percutaneous Fixation with Internal Cemented Screws of Impending Femoral Neck Pathologic Fractures in Patients with Metastatic Cancer: Safety, Efficacy, and Durability.

Background Prophylactic image-guided procedures performed by interventional radiologists for impending pathologic fractures are becoming more pertinent, as patients with metastatic cancer have extended overall survival because of advanced therapies. Purpose To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and palliative durability of collimated-beam CT-guided percutaneous fixation with internal cemented screws (FICS) for impending pathologic fractures of the femoral neck. Materials and Methods This single-institute retrospective study examined all patients with metastatic cancer treated between February 2010 and October 2019 with collimated-beam CT-guided percutaneous FICS procedures for preventive consolidation of impending femoral neck pathologic fractures.

Radiofrequency ablation versus surgical resection for the treatment of oligometastatic lung disease.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare efficacy and tolerance between radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and surgery for the treatment of oligometastatic lung disease.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study reviewed patients treated in two institutions for up to 5 pulmonary metastases with a maximal diameter of 4cm and without associated pleural involvement or thoracic lymphadenopathy. Patient demographics, tumor characteristics, treatment outcome, and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups.
