Background: Repeat transarterial chemoembolisation (rTACE) is often required for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to achieve disease control, however, current practice guidelines regarding treatment allocation vary significantly. This study aims to identify key factors associated with patient survival following rTACE to facilitate treatment allocation and prognostic discussion.
Method: Patients with HCC undergoing rTACE at six Australian tertiary centers from 2009 to 2014 were included.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness of endoscopic versus percutaneous drainage for treating pancreatic necrotic collections, focusing on their impact on systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).
- A review of 57 cases showed that endoscopic drainage led to a shorter hospital stay and a higher normalization rate of certain SIRS parameters, particularly heart and respiratory rates.
- Although differences in overall C-reactive protein reduction and some SIRS resolutions were not statistically significant, the findings suggest endoscopic drainage may be preferred, warranting further research for clarity.
Post-traumatic pre-pubertal high-flow priapism: bilateral superselective embolisation.
J Med Imaging Radiat Oncol
October 2011
High-flow priapism is uncommon particularly in children. While it is a non-emergent condition, delayed management may result in secondary vascular deformities. Embolisation is not commonly offered as first-line management because of the risk of potentially severe ramifications regarding sexual function, particularly with cases of bilateral penile arteriolacunar fistulae.
