Single-center comparison of three chemoembolization regimens for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Purpose: Transarterial chemoembolization regimens for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) vary, without a gold-standard method. The present study was performed to evaluate outcomes in patients with HCC treated with doxorubicin/ethiodized oil (DE), cisplatin/doxorubicin/mitomycin-c/ethiodized oil (CDM), or doxorubicin drug-eluting beads (DEBs).

Materials And Methods: Patients received the same regimen at all visits, without crossover.

Safety of uterine artery embolization in patients with preexisting hydrosalpinx.

Purpose: To determine (i) if preexisting hydrosalpinx poses a risk for development of pyosalpinx following uterine artery embolization (UAE) and (ii) the effect of UAE on fallopian tube diameter.

Materials And Methods: Between 2005 and 2011, 429 women underwent UAE for treatment of symptomatic leiomyomas. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging before UAE revealed 16 (3.
