Initiation of Chemosaturation With Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion Program in Interventional Radiology Department.

Objectives Chemosaturation with percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP) is a relatively new minimally-invasive liver-directed therapy, which aims to deliver high-dose chemotherapy into the liver with low systemic side effects. Initial studies showed promising results, especially in the treatment of metastatic uveal melanoma. But unfamiliarity of the interventional radiologists prevents its widespread implantation in clinical routine.

Trapezius Port Placement in Patients with Breast Cancer: Long-Term Follow-up and Quality-of-Life Assessment.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term results of and patient satisfaction with trapezius ports in breast cancer patients, as an alternative to chest ports.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective study included all patients who underwent trapezius port placement from December 2007 to January 2017. Seventy female patients with breast cancer, with a mean age of 54 ± 9.

Endovascular treatment of true renal artery aneurysms: a single center experience.

Purpose: We aimed to report a single center's experience on endovascular treatment of true renal artery aneurysms (TRAAs), including treatment techniques and outcomes.

Methods: This retrospective study was designed to evaluate the treatment and follow-up of TRAAs treated by a variety of endovascular interventional techniques over a period of 6 years. Six patients with nine TRAAs were identified; seven of the TRAAs were treated using different combinations of coil embolization and flow diverter stents.

Outcomes of Radioembolization in Patients with Chemorefractory Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastasis: a Single-Center Experience.

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of radioembolization with Yttrium-90 (Y-90) microspheres in patients with unresectable and chemorefractory colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRCLM).

Methods: This single-center study included 43 patients (34 male, 9 female) who underwent radioembolization with Y-90 for unresectable, chemorefractory CRCLM between September 2008 and July 2014. Overall survival (OS), liver progression-free survival (LPFS), overall response rate (ORR), local disease control rate (LDCR), and relations of these parameters with patient disease characteristics were evaluated.

Outcomes of partial splenic embolization in patients with massive splenomegaly due to idiopathic portal hypertension.

Aim: To determine the outcomes of partial splenic embolization (PSE) for massive splenomegaly due to idiopathic portal hypertension (IPH).

Methods: In this prospective study, we evaluated the characteristics and prognosis of consecutive patients with IPH who underwent PSE for all indications at a single medical center between June 2009 and January 2015. The inclusion criteria were: presence of hypersplenism, massive splenomegaly, and resultant pancytopenia.
