Irresectable hepatoma treated by intrahepatic iodized oil doxorubicin hydrochloride: initial results.

In this study we describe the investigation and treatment of 14 patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma. Patients were treated with intra-arterial infusion of iodized oil and doxorubicin hydrochloride. Five of these patients were alive after 1 year.

Thrombotic side-effects of lower limb venography. The use of heparin-saline flush.

In a prospective study of 256 postoperative patients, bilateral lower limb venography was performed using meglumine iothalamate followed by heparin-saline flushing of the deep veins, and the complications of the procedure were assessed. No patient developed clinical evidence of deep-vein thrombosis after the venogram. In 117 patients fibrinogen uptake was performed 24 hours after the venogram.

Severe late-onset epistaxis following Le Fort I osteotomy: angiographic localization and embolization.

Epistaxis following maxillofacial trauma or maxillofacial surgery is uncommon. It usually occurs within 24 hours of the injury and can usually be controlled by packing. Rarely internal maxillary artery ligation is necessary and embolization has been used in some cases of severe trauma.

Unresectable fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma treated with intra-arterial lipiodolised doxorubicin. A case report.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is often an aggressive tumour and, if unresectable, carries a poor prognosis, especially in the presence of jaundice. We report on a jaundiced patient with an unresectable fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma treated with intra-arterial lipiodolised doxorubicin (Adriamycin). The initial response of the patient has been encouraging.

Angiomyolipoma of the liver.

The radiological features of a case of angiomyolipoma of the liver are reported. A review of the literature has shown this to be a rare benign tumour. The lesion falls within the broad spectrum of lipomatous liver tumours.
