Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of three embolic agents—gelatin sponge, embospheres, and PVA—in partial splenic embolization for patients with hypersplenism due to cirrhosis, analyzing outcomes over one year.
- All groups achieved a 100% technical success rate, but the gelatin sponge group had lower pain rates compared to the other two.
- Permanent embolic materials showed better laboratory and radiological results than the gelatin sponge, although they were linked to increased abdominal pain and higher rates of recurrent bleeding in the gelatin sponge group.
We aim to present here a small case series of symptomatic isolated hemorrhagic arterialized developmental venous anomalies (sDVAs) with a larger goal of revisiting the classification based on patho-mechanisms plus emphasizing angiographic features coupled with CT and MRI. Typically, DVA is an incidental and silent abnormality on neuroimaging. Understanding its morphology in terms of arterialization and relationship with other entities is crucial for management.

This study aimed to evaluate the concordance of sequential and simultaneous AVS methods.
Design And Methods: Between 1989 and 2015, bilateral simultaneous sets of basal AVS were obtained twice within 5 min, in 188 consecutive patients (59 women and 129 men; mean age: 53.
Arteriovenous Fistula Embolization in Suspected Parauterine Choriocarcinoma.
Case Rep Obstet Gynecol
July 2016
This is a case of choriocarcinoma that did not regress after chemotherapy treatment. A 30-year-old female patient (gravida 2, para 2), presented to our ER with stroke and persistent mild pelvic pain 2 months after a Caesarean section. Computed tomography (CT) revealed an ischemic left hemicerebellar region and a hypervascular mass in the pelvic region.
