Article Synopsis
- This review examines various surgical and nonsurgical treatments for abdominal wall endometriosis to clarify optimal care options due to existing clinical uncertainty.* -
- A total of 51 articles were analyzed, involving 2674 patients, showing that surgical methods had the best local tumor control and pain relief, with a median local tumor control rate of 100%.* -
- Minor adverse events occurred in 17.5% of surgical cases and up to 76.4% with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), while severe adverse events were noted in 25 surgical patients.*
Purpose: To identify clinical, radiological, and angiographic characteristics associated with recurrent hemoptysis after bronchial artery embolization (BAE) in patients with lung cancer and severe hemoptysis admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).
Materials And Methods: A total of 144 consecutive patients with lung cancer who underwent BAE for life-threatening hemoptysis admitted in the ICU between 2014 and 2022 were retrospectively included. Demographics, laboratory values, clinical course, and radiological/angiographic features were compared between those with and without recurrent hemoptysis within 1 month after embolization.
Purpose: To evaluate the impact of virtual injection software (VIS) use during cone-beam computed tomography (CT)-guided prostatic artery embolization (PAE) on both patient radiation exposure and procedural time.
Materials And Methods: This institutional review board (IRB)-approved comparative retrospective study analyzed the treatment at a single institution of 131 consecutive patients from January 2020 to May 2022. Cone-beam CT was used with (Group 1, 77/131; 58.
Purpose: To compare the oncological and perioperative outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RPN) and percutaneous thermal ablation (PTA) for treatment of T1 renal cell cancer (RCC) in patients older than 75 years.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective national multicenter study included all patients older than 75 years treated for a T1 RCC by RPN or PTA between January 2010 and January 2021. Patients' characteristics, tumor data, and perioperative and oncological outcomes were compared.
Objectives: To evaluate the benefits of repeat prostatic artery embolization (rePAE) for patients with persistent or recurrent symptoms after initial prostatic artery embolization (PAE).
Materials And Methods: This is a single-center retrospective study of all patients who underwent a rePAE between December 2014 and November 2020 for persistent or recurrent lower urinary tract symptoms. Symptoms were assessed before and after PAE and rePAE, using the International Prostate Symptom Score and quality of life (QoL) questionnaires.
Ergonomics in interventional radiology has not been thoroughly evaluated. Like any operators, interventional radiologists are exposed to the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. The use of lead shielding to radiation exposure and the lack of ergonomic principles developed so far contribute to these disorders, which may potentially affect their livelihoods, quality of life, and productivity.
