Article Synopsis
- * Fifty-four patients received treatment, and the results showed significant size reductions in various types of malformations, particularly lymphatic malformations and salivary epithelial duct cysts, with fewer interventions needed for macrocystic lymphatic types.
- * Overall, percutaneous sclerosant injection is suggested as a first-line treatment, especially for lymphatic malformations and salivary duct cysts, while the results for mucoceles and branchial cysts were less favorable.
Background: The purpose is to evaluate the follow-up outcomes after femoro-popliteal stenting with Cook Zilver PTX in a multicenter experience.
Methods: Collected data from four Units were retrospectively joined and analyzed considering Zilver PTX deployed from August 2009 according to the instruction for use. Patient demographics, preoperative comorbidities, Rutherford classification, arterial characteristics and stent data were considered.
CT-guided percutaneous drainage is a safe and effective procedure that allows minimally invasive treatment of abdominopelvic abscesses and fluid collections. This technique has become an alternative for surgery with lower morbility and mortality rates. In this pictorial essay, we aim at providing an overview of the technical approaches, the main clinical indications and complications of CT-guided percutaneous drainage, in order to provide a practical guide for interventional radiologists, with a review of the recent literature.

- Hemoperitoneum, or bleeding in the abdominal cavity, can result from trauma, tumors, gastrointestinal perforations, or less commonly, coagulopathies, with the superior epigastric artery (SEA) being a rare source of injury.
- A case study discusses a 44-year-old woman who experienced hemoperitoneum following cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer, where active bleeding from the SEA was identified via CT scan.
- The patient underwent coil embolization and surgical drainage to address the bleeding; despite initial success, additional embolization was needed, ultimately leading to complete resolution as confirmed by ultrasound.
