Complications of Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a potentially curative treatment option for early Hepatocellular carcinoma. The RFA is considered safe with a relatively low incidence of complications ranging from 2%-7.9%.

Diagnosis and Management of Persistent Pulmonary Arterio-venous Malformations following Embolotherapy.

Embolotherapy is the primary treatment for pulmonary arterio-venous malformations (PAVMs). Approximately, 2-25% of PAVMs demonstrate persistence following embolization. Early identification and treatment of persistent PAVMs are critical to mitigating life threatening complications.

Does Contrast Dose Based in Lean body Weight Allow Lesser Volumes on High BMI Patients for CT Angiography?

Objectives: The objective was to evaluate whether contrast dose based on lean body weight (LBW) protocol has the potential to reduce contrast volume in patients with high basal metabolic index (BMI) compared to total body weight (TBW)-based protocols.

Material And Methods: The Institutional Review Board approval was obtained for this prospective study. Initially, a pilot study with a sample size of 150 patients was conducted to estimate the average fat fraction in our population.

Comparison of Knowledge-based Iterative Model Reconstruction (IMR) with Hybrid Iterative Reconstruction (iDose) Techniques for Evaluation of Hepatocellular Carcinomas Using Computed Tomography.

Rationale And Objectives: To compare tumor conspicuity of small hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and image quality on knowledge-based iterative model reconstruction low-dose computed tomography (IMR-LDCT) with hybrid iterative reconstruction standard-dose CT (iDose-SDCT).

Methods: Thirty-two patients (mean age 61.9 ± 9.

Percutaneous transhepatic techniques for management of biliary anastomotic strictures in living donor liver transplant recipients.

Aim: To retrospectively analyze the percutaneous transhepatic techniques and their outcome in the management of biliary strictures in living donor liver transplant (LDLT) recipients.

Materials And Methods: We retrieved the hospital records of 400 LDLT recipients between 2007 and 2015 and identified 45 patients with biliary strictures. Among them, 17 patients (37.

Endovascular treatment of aneurysm of splenic artery arising from splenomesentric trunk using stent graft.

We report a rare case of aneurysm of splenic artery arising anomalously from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). The aneurysm was treated successfully by coil embolization of the splenic artery distal to aneurysm and then deploying a stent graft in the SMA. A combination of stent graft and coil embolization for the treatment of aberrant splenic artery aneurysm has been reported only once.
