Safety and Clinical Efficacy of Prostatic Artery Embolization in Patients with Indwelling Urinary Catheter for Benign Hyperplasia-A Multicenter Study.

: This multicentric study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of prostatic artery embolization (PAE) to remove indwelling urinary catheter (IUC) in patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Secondary objectives were to identify features associated with post-PAE catheter-free survival (PCFS). : All consecutive patients who underwent PAE for IUC related to BPH with a follow-up of at least 2 years (except for early death) in 6 French University Hospitals were retrospectively included.

Title: Is Celiac Trunk Revascularization Necessary After High-Flow Pancreaticoduodenal Arterial Arcades Aneurysm Retrograde Embolization?

High-flow pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) aneurysms secondary to celiac trunk occlusion or stenosis have a high risk of rupture. Embolization offers a less invasive alternative to surgery. We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of retrograde embolization via the superior mesenteric artery of high-flow PDA aneurysms without celiac trunk revascularization.

Selective internal radiation therapy across Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stages of hepatocellular carcinoma: literature review.

Background And Objective: Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) represents an endovascular treatment option for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Its use is widely recognized in the intermediate and advanced HCC, but it has become more prevalent in recent years in different Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stages. The aim of this review is to summarize the role of SIRT and its clinical implications through different stages of HCC.

The Paradox of Modern Technology in Standardizing Thermal Liver Ablation: Fostering Uniformity or Diversity?

Purpose: Currently, significant medical practice variation exists in thermal ablation (TA) of malignant liver tumors with associated differences in outcomes. The IMaging and Advanced Guidance for workflow optimization in Interventional Oncology (IMAGIO) consortium aims to integrate interventional oncology into the standard clinical pathway for cancer treatment in Europe by 2030, by development of a standardized low-complex-high-precision workflow for TA of malignant liver tumors. This study was conducted at the start of the IMAGIO project with the aim to explore the current state and future role of modern technology in TA of malignant liver tumors.
