Introduction: Embolisation of type II internal iliac artery endoleaks is challenging given limited options for obtaining transarterial access and for achieving access site haemostasis.
Report: An 86 year old woman who had undergone endovascular repair for an aorto-iliac aneurysm was found to have serial enlargement of the left common iliac artery portion of the aneurysm observed over a period of two years. At the time of the initial repair, the left internal iliac artery was embolised using coils, and then was covered by extending the iliac limb endoprosthesis into the external iliac artery.
Purpose: To identify imaging findings associated with elevated lung shunt fraction (LSF) in patients being considered for yttrium-90 ((90)Y) radioembolization.
Materials And Methods: During the period 2009-2014, 152 consecutive patients underwent planning hepatic arteriography with technetium-99m ((99m)Tc) macroaggregated albumin (MAA) injection. Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging performed before the procedure for each patient was assessed for hepatic vein (HV) tumor thrombus or occlusion from external compression by tumor.
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the utility and limitations of various imaging modalities in the noninvasive assessment of a novel compact hemodialyzer under development for renal replacement therapy, with specific aim towards monitoring its functional performance.
Methods: The prototype is a 4×3×6 cm aluminum cartridge housing "blood" and "dialysate" flow paths arranged in parallel. A sheet of semipermeable silicon nanopore membranes forms the blood-dialysate interface, allowing passage of small molecules.
Purpose: To compare the frequency of vena caval penetration by the struts of the Option and Günther Tulip cone filters on postplacement computed tomography (CT) imaging.
Materials And Methods: All patients who had an Option or Günther Tulip inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placed between January 2010 and May 2012 were identified retrospectively from medical records. Of the 208 IVC filters placed, the positions of 58 devices (21 Option filters, 37 Günther Tulip filters [GTFs]) were documented on follow-up CT examinations obtained for reasons unrelated to filter placement.
