Background: The technique of « en bloc» liver and small bowel transplantation (L-BT) spares a biliary anastomosis, but does not protect against biliary complications. We analyze biliary and duodenal complications (BDC) in our pediatric series.
Methods: Between 1994 and 2020, 54 L-BT were performed in 53 children.
Background: Hepatoblastoma tumor rupture is a high-risk criterion in the SIOPEL 3/4 protocol. Little is known about the outcome of these children.
Methods: Radiological signs of possible tumor rupture, defined as peritoneal effusion, peritoneal nodules, or hepatic subcapsular hematoma, were reported in 24 of 150 patients treated for hepatoblastoma in France from January 2000 to December 2014 after central radiological expert review.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on establishing local diagnostic reference levels (DRL) for pediatric patients undergoing percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) to minimize radiation exposure while they are immunosuppressed following liver transplants.
- Data was collected from 162 PTC procedures performed on 64 children between October 2016 and June 2018, analyzing various radiation exposure parameters to derive DRLs based on their weight groups.
- Findings indicated effective local practices in radiation management, but suggested further optimization in equipment positioning and other technical aspects to enhance safety during procedures.
Introduction: The use of interventional radiology (IR) in the treatment of pediatric solid tumors has markedly increased over the last three decades. However, data on effectiveness of IR-techniques, such as embolization/ablation, are scarce. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we examined the outcomes of IR-procedures in the treatment of solid tumors in children.
