Article Synopsis
- * MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a key role in regulating gene expression and their dysfunction is linked to issues such as tumor growth and resistance to cell death.
- * The review focuses on the limited research regarding miRNAs as potential biomarkers for predicting how well HCC patients respond to TACE, incorporating radiological data and images from specific cases.
Article Synopsis
- Interventional radiology for the male urogenital system includes procedures like percutaneous interventions and transcatheter arterial embolizations mainly for treating tumors, kidney injuries, and vascular issues.
- These embolizations are often necessary for urgent cases, such as renal hematomas or severe bladder bleeding caused by cancer or other conditions.
- The article reviews the key endovascular interventions specific to the male urogenital system, highlighting the techniques, outcomes, and potential complications associated with each procedure.
Purpose: Our aim was to evaluate the usefulness of computed tomography angiography (CTA) in vascular mapping for planning breast reconstruction after mastectomy using a free flap made with the deep inferior epigastric perforators (DIEP).
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 41 patients, mean age 57 years, scheduled for mastectomy. CTA was performed with a 64-row scanner (Aquilion 64, Toshiba Medical Systems, Japan), with injection of 100 ml of contrast medium (iomeprol 350 mgI/ml, Bracco, Italy) at 4.
Purpose: This study reviews our experience over the last 10 years with procedures of embolisation and/or exclusion of the renal arteries, their parenchymal branches and the polar arteries [renal artery embolisation (RAE)].
Materials And Methods: Twenty-seven patients (19 men and eight women; age range 37-93 years; mean 74 years) underwent RAE. The indications were: symptomatic gross haematuria in nine patients (33.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of extravascular collateral findings during 64-slice CT angiography of the abdominal aorta (AA-CTA) and lower limbs (LL-CTA).
Materials And Methods: The images of 536 AA-CTA and LL-CTA examinations performed for suspected aortic and peripheral vascular disease in 500 patients were retrospectively reviewed. Two radiologists evaluated the 5-mm axial images independently using appropriate window settings for the area under investigation.
