Transarterial embolization of acute non-neurologic bleeding using Ethylene Vynil Alcohol Copolymer: a single-Centre retrospective study.

Background: To evaluate feasibility, safety and effectiveness of transarterial embolization of acute non-neurologic hemorrhage with Ethylene Vynil Alcohol Copolymer (EVOH).

Methods: Between January 2018 and June 2021, 211 patients (male 123, mean age 69.7 y + 17.

Treatment of visceral artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms with the use of cerebral flow diverting stents: initial experience.

Background: Flow-diverter stents (FDS) are designed to maintain laminar flow in the parent artery and sidebranches and to promote thrombosis of the aneurysm. Although these devices were developed for use in intracranial circulation, FDS could be employed to treat aneurysms regardless of their location, when anatomic factors may limit the efficacy of classic endovascular techniques. The objective of this study is to describe the initial experience of a single center in the treatment of visceral artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms (VAA-VAP) with cerebral FDS, analyzing safety, efficacy and 1-year outcome.

Percutaneous Pharmaco-Mechanical Thrombectomy of Acute Symptomatic Superior Mesenteric Vein Thrombosis.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and the efficacy of percutaneous pharmaco-mechanical thrombectomy (PPMT) of acute superior mesenteric vein (SMV) thrombosis.

Methods: A database of patients treated between 2011 and 2018 with acute venous mesenteric ischemia (VMI) was reviewed. VMI was diagnosed in the presence of SMV thrombosis and CT evidence of jejunal thickening.

Treatment of thyroid nodules with radiofrequency: a 1-year follow-up experience.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in debulking benign solid thyroid nodules.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective review of 77 patients with predominantly solid thyroid nodules treated with RFA in a single center between 2013 and 2016. All patients declined or were not eligible for surgery.

Pharmacomechanical catheter-directed thrombolysis for acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis: our case series.

Objective: This is a retrospective study on Pharmacomechanical Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis (PCDT) in the treatment of acute iliofemoral Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).

Patients And Methods: From March 2013 to November 2016, 22 patients (26 limbs), median age 46.7 years with acute (<21 days) extensive iliofemoral DVT underwent Percutaneous Mechanical Thrombectomy (PMT) with Aspirex (Straub Medical, Wangs, Switzerland), followed by Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis (CDT).
