Purpose: To evaluate the safety of including hollow viscus (stomach or bowel) in the ice ball during cryoablation.
Materials And Methods: Forty-three patients who underwent 50 cryoablations between January 1, 2012, and February 1, 2023, were retrospectively reviewed and compared with a control cohort of those who underwent cryoablation without hollow visceral involvement (n = 86). Adverse events (AEs) were stratified by the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) AE classification system, 2017.
Background: Post-pulmonary embolism (PE) dyspnea is common. Existing noninvasive studies have demonstrated that post-PE dyspnea is associated with elevations in right ventricular (RV) afterload, dead space ventilation, and deconditioning. We aimed to use invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing (iCPET) parameters in patients with post-PE dyspnea to identify unique physiologic phenotypes.

The purpose of this study was to retrospectively compare the effectiveness of trans-arterial radioembolization for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) between patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)/non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-NASH/NAFLD liver disease.
Materials And Methods: Consecutive patients with HCC who underwent TARE at a single academic institution were retrospectively reviewed.
Surgical resection remains the cornerstone of curative treatment for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA), but this option is only available to a small percentage of patients. For patients with unresectable iCCA, systemic therapy with gemcitabine and platinum-based agents represents the mainstay of treatment; however, the armamentarium has grown to include targeted molecular therapies (e.g.
