Outcome in small aneurysms (<4 mm) treated by endovascular coiling.

Background: Coiling of small aneurysms can be technically challenging. These aspects of coiling tend to be less problematic in medium to large aneurysms as they are more accommodating of microcatheters and coils. When physicians are asked their opinion regarding aneurysm coilability in small aneurysms, the decision often lies in the operator's feeling that they could reasonably exclude the aneurysm with a complication rate similar to larger aneurysms.

Transjugular liver biopsy: a retrospective analysis of 601 cases.

Purpose: To perform a retrospective analysis of all transjugular liver biopsies (TJLBs) performed during a 77-month period. The authors discuss the technical modifications adopted to achieve better procedural success and histopathologic yield apart from the safety profile of this procedure during the study period.

Materials And Methods: Six hundred one consecutive patients underwent TJLB at the authors' institution during the study period.
