Hepatic Abscess: A Rare Presentation of Sump Syndrome After Choledochojejunostomy.

Sump syndrome is a rare complication of choledochoenterotomy. Patients with sump syndrome often have abdominal pain, recurrent cholangitis, pancreatitis, malabsorption, fever, an abnormal liver function test, and, rarely, hepatic abscess. Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy or hepaticojejunostomy has been advocated to prevent sump syndrome.

Computational simulation of the predicted dosimetric impact of adjuvant yttrium-90 PET/CT-guided percutaneous ablation following radioembolization.

Background: Y PET/CT post-radioembolization imaging has demonstrated that the distribution of Y in a tumor can be non-uniform. Using computational modeling, we predicted the dosimetric impact of post-treatment Y PET/CT-guided percutaneous ablation of the portions of a tumor receiving the lowest absorbed dose. A cohort of fourteen patients with non-resectable liver cancer previously treated using Y radioembolization were included in this retrospective study.

90Y Radioembolization of Colorectal Hepatic Metastases Using Glass Microspheres: Safety and Survival Outcomes from a 531-Patient Multicenter Study.

Unlabelled: Hepatic metastases of colorectal carcinoma are a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Most colorectal liver metastases become refractory to chemotherapy and biologic agents, at which point the median overall survival declines to 4-5 mo. Radioembolization with (90)Y has been used in the salvage setting with favorable outcomes.

A novel approach using liquid embolic agent for the treatment of pancreatic-cutaneous fistulas: Report of a case.

Pancreatic fistula formation remains one of the most dreadful complications after pancreaticoduodenectomies, resulting in extended hospital stays, increased healthcare costs, along with significantly increased morbidity and mortality. Little is mentioned in the literature about the use of percutaneous techniques to resolve this complication when conservative treatments fail. Thus, we developed a novel technique for treating pancreatic-cutaneous fistulas that develop post-pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Traumatic axillary artery pseudoaneurysm treated with intravascular balloon occlusion and percutaneous thrombin injection.

Axillary artery pseudoaneurysms are relatively rare, with few reported cases found in the literature. Furthermore, treatment with percutaneous thrombin injection has not yet been reported. We report the case of a 59-year-old man with a large (10 cm) post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the left axillary artery found five weeks after a motorcycle crash.

Complications arising from splenic artery embolization: a review of an 11-year experience.

Background: Splenic artery embolization (SAE) is a staple adjunct in the management of blunt splenic trauma. We examined complications of SAE over an 11-year period.

Methods: Patients who underwent SAE were identified.

Ultrasonography and clinical findings in children with epididymitis, with and without associated lower urinary tract abnormalities.

Background: Epididymitis is most commonly idiopathic but can also be associated with urinary tract abnormalities (UTAs). The distinctive clinical and imaging findings of children with epididymitis and underlying UTAs are not known.

Objective: To describe clinical and imaging findings in children with epididymitis and the association with UTAs.
