Background: Mechanical thrombectomy plays an important role in the management of acute pulmonary embolism (PE), either when rapid clot dissolution is needed or when thrombolytics are contraindicated. We describe our clinical and technical experience with the FlowTriever mechanical thrombectomy device in patients with acute PE.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on all cases of acute PE treated with the FlowTriever device at a single tertiary care hospital system during the trial period (November 2019-January 2020).
CT-guided gastrostomy tube placement-a single center case series.
Diagn Interv Radiol
September 2020
Purpose: The role of computed tomography (CT)-guided gastrostomy tube placement is still evolving. It is a valuable alternative to guide gastrostomy tube placement in a few selected patients, who are not candidates for the established endoscopy- or fluoroscopy-guided gastrostomy tube placement. Our objective was to describe our institutional experience placing gastrostomy tubes using CT guidance and to conduct a review of literature for similar studies to provide the best current evidence on success rates and complications.

J Clin Imaging Sci
February 2020
Article Synopsis
- - Chondrosarcomas are tumors made from bone or cartilage, and while they are fairly common, primary pulmonary chondrosarcomas in the lungs are extremely rare.
- - This report discusses a specific case of a young male patient diagnosed with a primary pulmonary chondrosarcoma after ruling out tumors from other origins.
- - The findings include the patient's clinical symptoms, results from pulmonary function tests, and diagnostic imaging, alongside a review of similar cases in existing literature.
The role of an IVC filter retrieval clinic-A single center retrospective analysis.
Indian J Radiol Imaging
December 2019
Background: Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement still plays an essential role in preventing pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with contraindications to anticoagulant therapy. However, IVC filter placement does have long-term risks which may be mitigated by retrieving them as soon as clinically acceptable. A dedicated IVC filter clinic provides a potential means of assuring adequate follow-up and retrieval.

Design: The authors performed a retrospective analysis of cancer patients screened with the SOAPP-R. Opiate abuse was determined using a combination of urine drug screens and analysis of patients' electronic medical records.
Background: There are limited outcome data to guide the choice of treatment in pediatric patients with cerebral aneurysms.
Objective: To describe our institutional experience treating pediatric patients with cerebral aneurysms and to conduct a meta-analysis of available studies to provide the best current evidence on treatment related outcomes.
Methods: We identified pediatric patients with cerebral aneurysms evaluated or treated at our institution using a comprehensive case log.
