Purpose: To explore the effect of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) in controlling intractable, nontraumatic bladder hemorrhage in cancer patients.
Materials And Methods: A literature review (PubMed and EMBASE), followed by a retrospective analysis of all cancer patients with intractable hematuria from bladder treated by TAE at our tertiary referral center.
Results: At our institution, 27 consecutive cancer patients who underwent TAE for refractory hematuria from bladder were identified.
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of bronchial artery embolization (BAE) in patients with primary lung cancer-related hemoptysis and to identify factors associated with hemoptysis-free survival.
Methods: Data from 84 patients with primary lung cancer (non-small cell [n = 74] and small cell [n = 10]) who underwent BAE from 1997 to 2018 for the management of hemoptysis were retrospectively reviewed. Of these, 53 patients had stage IV lung cancer.
Objectives: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter arterial embolisation (TAE) managing postpartum haemorrhage associated with genital tract injury (PPH-GTI) and to determine the factors associated with clinical outcomes.
Methods: From 2002 to 2017, a retrospective analysis was performed in 60 patients (mean 31.5 years) undergoing TAE for PPH-GTI.
Objective: To estimate the diagnostic accuracy of the sum of relative enhancement ratio (sRER) in making a differential diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from benign cirrhosis-related nodules.
Materials And Methods: Eighteen benign cirrhosis-related nodules and 18 HCCs were evaluated. Three radiologists independently reviewed computed tomography images using visual assessment and sRER.
