Ho-RadioEmbolizaTiOn Using personalized prediCtive dosimetry in patients with Hepatocellular carcinoma: A prospective, single-centre study (RETOUCH).

Background And Aims: Holmium-166 (Ho) radioembolization could offer a more individualized approach in terms of imaging and dosimetry. We aim to evaluate the feasibility and safety of Ho selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) using a higher tumour dose than previously administered determined by Ho-scout as a surrogate marker in HCC patients.

Methods: This is an open-label, prospective, non-randomized, single-centre pilot study that included patients with HCC that received Ho-SIRT if the work-up using Ho-scout showed a tumour-absorbed dose ≥150 Gy, a non-tumoural liver absorbed dose less than 60 Gy and a lung absorbed dose less than 30 Gy.

Treatment of Cerebral Vasospasm after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Using the Compliant Manually Adjustable Mesh Comaneci.

Cerebral vasospasm (CV) following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) may lead to morbidity and mortality. Endovascular mechanical angioplasty may be performed if symptomatic CV is refractory to noninvasive medical management. Compliant and noncompliant balloons and manually adjustable mesh may be used in this indication.

Treatment of Cerebral Vasospasm Following Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage using the Neurospeed Semi-compliant Balloon.

Background And Purpose: Cerebral vasospasm (CV) following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) may lead to morbidity and mortality. Endovascular mechanical angioplasty may be performed if symptomatic CV is refractory to noninvasive medical management. Off-label compliant remodelling balloons tend to conform to the course of the vessel, contrary to noncompliant or semi-compliant balloons.

High diagnostic yield of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy performed under cone beam CT guidance: results of a randomized Belgian monocentric study.

Background: With the increasing use of low dose CT scans, numerous pulmonary nodules are detected. As majority of them are benign, development of efficient non-surgical diagnostic intervention is mandatory. Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) has been developed to reach difficult to access lesions.

Duodenal Hemorrhage Due to an Invasive Hepatocellular Carcinoma Controlled by Transarterial Embolization.

Upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding due to duodenal invasion is a very unusual presentation revealing the initial diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), especially in patients without cirrhosis. No clear recommendations are available in this setting. A 68-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department with melena.
