Transarterial interventions in civilian gunshot wound injury: experience from a level-1 trauma center.

Purpose: To assess the effectiveness of trans-arterial vascular interventions in treatment of civilian gunshot wounds (GSW).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review was performed at a level-1 trauma center to include 46 consecutive adults admitted due to GSW related hemorrhage and treated with endovascular interventions from July 2018 to July 2022. Patient demographics and procedural metrics were retrieved.

Real-time arteriography-directed percutaneous microwave ablation for small or poorly characterized hepatic lesions using hybrid Angio-CT.

Purpose: To report the utility of real-time arteriography-directed percutaneous MWA (rad-pMWA) in a hybrid angiography-computed tomography (Angio-CT) suite to treat small or inconspicuous hepatic tumors on non-contrast CT.

Method: This single-center retrospective cohort included 15 consecutive patients who underwent rad-pMWA (6 HCC, 4 mCRC, 4 NET, and 1 cholangiocarcinoma). The median longest axial diameter of treated tumors was 1.

Endovascular thrombectomy and repair of suprarenal inferior vena cava thrombosis: A case series.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to document the combined use of catheter-based thrombectomy/thrombolysis with endovascular repair of high-risk segments of the inferior vena cava in the setting of iatrogenic and traumatic injuries. While the use of endovascular techniques to treat caval thrombosis is well documented and often preferred due to its minimally invasive nature, there is still little literature that focuses on the nuances related to injury of high mortality areas of the IVC as a result of major trauma, transplant, and other surgical interventions.

Methods: An IRB-approved retrospective review of all patients undergoing IVC thrombectomy was performed at a single tertiary care academic center between January 2018 and July 2021.
