Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of splenic artery embolization (SAE) as a treatment for esophageal variceal bleeding caused by portal hypertension (PH), focusing on its efficacy, safety, and overall role in managing this condition.
- - A systematic review and meta-analysis of 18 studies involving 531 patients found significant reductions in variceal bleeding after SAE, with 26% achieving complete resolution of varices and 78% showing improvement.
- - The findings indicate that SAE is a safe procedure with low complication rates, effectively increasing platelet counts and reducing bleeding in patients with variceal bleeding due to PH.
This case report describes the radiofrequency (RF) ablation of a pheochromocytoma in a 35-year-old female with multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) II syndrome, who previously underwent a right adrenalectomy and thyroidectomy. The patient presented with a new tumor in the left adrenal gland, detected via imaging, without evidence of metastasis. Opting against surgical adrenalectomy due to previous surgeries, she underwent RF ablation after preparatory alpha and beta blockader.

Purpose: To Evaluate the safety and technical success of transgluteal CT-guided fiducial marker implantation into the prostate as an alternative method to transperineal and transrectal approaches.
Material And Methods: We retrospectively identified all patients who had undergone CT-guided transgluteal fiducial marker insertion between 2020 and 2022. Four patients with confirmed prostate cancer were identified.
Background: Liver metastasis is present in a wide range of malignancies, with colorectal cancer as the most common site. Several minimally invasive treatments have been suggested for managing hepatic metastases, and cryoablation is among them, yet not widely used. In this systematic review, we aimed to assess the effectiveness of percutaneous cryoablation in all types of liver metastases.
