Background/objectives: Genicular artery embolization (GAE) has demonstrated potential as a treatment for knee osteoarthritis by targeting inflammation and pain, although current evidence remains limited. This study used imaging biomarkers to objectively assess synovitis and possible ischemic complications following GAE.
Methods: This was a prospective, single-center trial including participants with mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis.
Article Synopsis
- * A systematic review, covering studies from 2010 to 2023, evaluated 17 research articles involving 3392 patients, finding that CT scans were the most commonly used imaging method for follow-up after splenic injuries, with 4.5% of patients experiencing vascular issues like pseudoaneurysms.
- * The review reveals a lack of consensus on the optimal timing and methods for radiological follow-up, though routine follow-up is recommended, particularly for higher grade injuries,
Non-inferiority, randomised, open-label clinical trial on the effectiveness of transurethral microwave thermotherapy compared to prostatic artery embolisation in reducing severe lower urinary tract symptoms in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia: study protocol for the TUMT-PAE-1 trial.

September 2024
Background: One-fourth of men older than 70 years have lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) that impair their quality of life. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is considered the gold standard for surgical treatment of LUTS caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) that cannot be managed conservatively or pharmacologically. However, TURP is only an option for patients fit for surgery and can result in complications.

Conventional treatments often fail to provide adequate relief, necessitating new therapeutic approaches. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of genicular artery embolization (GAE) using permanent microspheres in patients with mild-to-moderate knee OA.

- The study investigates the effectiveness of bare metal stents (BMS) versus covered stents (CS) in treating chronic and acute-on-chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI and AoCMI).
- It involves a randomized trial with 98 patients at Copenhagen University Hospital, where participants are assigned to either BMS or CS during surgery.
- The research aims to fill a gap in the existing literature, as there are no previous prospective controlled trials comparing these two stent types, and it will also assess the impact of a more detailed postoperative monitoring plan.
