Purpose: To assess the utility of selective external iliac artery (EIA) angiography and the frequency of injury to branches of the EIA in cases of blunt pelvic trauma.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of pelvic angiograms in 66 patients with blunt pelvic trauma was conducted over a 12-month period. Pelvic and femur fracture patterns were correlated to the presence of EIA injury.
Purpose: To investigate the feasibility of using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to monitor intrabiliary delivery of motexafin gadolinium (MGd) into pig common bile duct (CBD) walls.
Materials And Methods: Animal studies were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Initially, human cholangiocarcinoma cells were treated with various concentrations of MGd, a compound serving as a T1-weighted MR imaging contrast agent, chemotherapy drug, and cell marker.
Background: The feasibility of video-assisted retroperitoneal debridement (VARD) for infected pancreatic walled-off necrosis is established. We provide prospective data on the safety and efficacy of VARD.
Design: Multicenter, prospective, single-arm phase 2 study.
Purpose: To explore the use of breath-hold and navigator-gated noncontrast Steady State Free Precession (SSFP) MR angiography (MRA) protocols for the evaluation of renal artery stenosis (RAS).
Materials And Methods: Twenty patients referred to rule out RAS were imaged using two breath-hold and one navigator-gated SSFP MRA sequences. All patients underwent contrast-enhanced MRA (CE-MRA).
Objective: The purpose of our study was to determine how well unenhanced navigator-gated steady-state free precession (Nav SSFP) MR angiography (MRA) performs as a screening test for the detection of renal artery stenosis.
Subjects And Methods: Forty patients referred to rule out renal artery stenosis were imaged using an optimized Nav SSFP MRA sequence before conventional contrast-enhanced MRA (CE-MRA). Two radiologists evaluated Nav SSFP for maximum stenosis measurement, and comparison was made with CE-MRA results.
Goals: To determine whether increased pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) following transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting (TIPSS) results in short-term mortality or cardiorespiratory complications.
Background: TIPSS is frequently performed for complications of cirrhosis. PAP increases following TIPSS; however consequences of this phenomenon are unknown.
