Article Synopsis
- - Bronchoperitoneal (BP) fistulas are rare and complex medical conditions, with few existing studies on their treatment options, which can be either conservative or surgical.
- - A search for BP fistulas related to bladder cancer yielded no relevant studies, indicating a gap in the literature for this specific case.
- - The presented case is the first documented instance of a BP fistula caused by metastatic bladder cancer and the second instance of successfully using an endobronchial valve for its treatment, which improved the patient's quality of life.
Article Synopsis
- Doctors are trying to make surgeries safer for people with kidney cancer who have blood clots in a big vein called the IVC.
- A patient with kidney cancer and an IVC thrombus had a special surgery using a new tool called Inari Protrieve™.
- This new method might help doctors do better surgeries in the future for similar cases.
Simple prostatectomy (SP) can be utilized for patients with large prostates with lower urinary tract symptoms. Prostate artery embolization (PAE) does not have robust clinical evidence to support its use in treating urinary symptoms; however, it is an effective treatment for refractory hematuria from a prostatic source. There have been limited papers regarding preoperative PAE prior to SP.
