Transarterial chemoembolization in a patient with severe reactions to iodinated contrast: Successful treatment using gadolinium contrast with C-arm computed tomography.

Severe reactions to modern iodinated contrasts are uncommon. Breakthrough reactions in the setting of pretreatment with corticosteroids are even rarer. Patients with a history of these refractory reactions can create challenging situations in the diagnostic and therapeutic process.

Iliac bone biopsy complicated by hematoma: Hemostasis achieved with glue injection.

Serious hemorrhage after a bone biopsy is a rare complication of the procedure. Due to the infrequency of this complication, there is limited literature available regarding the treatment. Here, we present a case of a 70-year-old male who developed a symptomatic gluteal hematoma after an iliac bone lesion biopsy.

Fast-Track Registration: A Way to Increase Efficiency in the IR Division.

Purpose: To evaluate changes in patient registration process at an academic 2-suite IR Division to determine if moving registration from the waiting room to the vascular holding area decreased amount of time patients spent in the Radiology Department and improved start times.

Materials And Methods: A data collection sheet was created by evaluating patient-related processes; event timestamps were recorded on the sheet. The control group consisted of 33 patients who registered using the traditional process.

Retroperitoneal Hemorrhage After Sacral Neurostimulator Placement for Urgency Urinary Incontinence.

Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is an effective therapy for patients who experience urinary incontinence, idiopathic urinary retention, and fecal incontinence. Although typically a low-risk procedure, rarely, it can be associated with significant hemorrhage. A 61-year-old woman on chronic anticoagulation underwent uncomplicated implantation of SNM for refractory urgency urinary incontinence.
