Visceral artery pseudoaneurysms are potentially lethal lesions and tend to rupture in a high proportion of cases, thereby warranting an immediate and active intervention. We present our experience of splanchnic visceral artery pseudoaneurysms in a university hospital over a 5-year time interval with emphasis on etiology, clinical presentation, management (endovascular/surgical), and final outcome. This was a retrospective study in which we searched our image database for pseudoaneurysms of visceral arteries over a period of 5 years.

- The study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of image-guided percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) for managing pancreatic collections (PCs) caused by acute pancreatitis.
- Conducted over four years with 60 patients, the study showed PCD success rates of 80% for acute peripancreatic fluid collections and pancreatic pseudocysts, 75% for walled-off necrosis, and 50% for acute necrotic collections.
- The results indicated that PCD is a minimally invasive option with a low complication rate, making it a viable treatment for infected or symptomatic PCs, with fewer patients needing further surgical intervention.
Purpose: To describe the spectrum of imaging findings in pulmonary echinococcosis and to study the additive value of T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the characterisation of pulmonary hydatid disease.
Material And Methods: This was a descriptive, prospective study conducted for a period of 3 years from December 2016 to November 2019. Patients suspected of having pulmonary echinococcosis ( = 110) on preliminary chest radiography were examined with chest computed tomography (CT).
Purpose: To assess the influence of various patient-, lesion-, and procedure-related variables on the occurrence of pneumothorax as a complication of CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy.
Material And Methods: In a total of 208 patients, 215 lung/mediastinal lesions (seven patients were biopsied twice) were sampled under CT guidance using coaxial biopsy set via percutaneous transthoracic approach. Incidence of post procedure pneumothorax was seen and the influence of various patient-, lesion-, and procedure-related variables on the frequency of pneumothorax with special emphasis on procedural factors like dwell time and needle-pleural angle was analysed.
Objective:: The present study was aimed to evaluate patients of suspected intracranial tuberculomas with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI).
Methods:: The present study evaluated 116 patients known or suspected of having central nervous system tuberculosis with advanced MRI techniques comprising of DWI, MRS and SWI in addition to the conventional MRI.
Results:: Apparent diffusion coefficient value of tuberculomas was not significantly different (p > 0.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares double percutaneous aspiration injection (DPAI) to surgery for treating cystic echinococcosis (CE) of the liver, claiming it's the first of its kind.
- In a trial with 43 patients, those treated with DPAI had shorter hospital stays (2.38 days vs. 8.23 days) and experienced fewer complications, with a success rate of 95.3% compared to 85.7% for surgery.
- The findings suggest that DPAI is a non-inferior and less invasive alternative to surgery for CE, demonstrating advantages like reduced hospital stays and fewer complications, although total Immunoglobulin G antibody levels are not helpful for patient follow-up.
