Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the combined arteritis damage score (CARDS) in Takayasu arteritis (TAK) patients to see how well it predicts the need for biologic treatment and the role of wall thickness (WT) in that prediction.* -
- Results indicated that patients requiring biologic treatment had significantly higher CARDS, WT, and modified CARDS (mCARDS) scores compared to those receiving non-biologic treatment, suggesting mCARDS is a strong predictor of treatment needs.* -
- The findings imply that using non-invasive angiographic imaging to assess CARDS and WT can enhance prognosis and inform treatment decisions for TAK patients, with mCARDS showing the best performance in sensitivity and specificity.*
Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of genicular artery embolization (GAE) using lipiodol in comparison to imipenem/cilastatin (IPM-CS).
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study screened patients who underwent GAE between January 2022 and February 2023 for inclusion. Clinical outcomes were assessed at 1, 3, and 6 months post-procedure using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) for pain, stiffness, functional capacity, and total scores.
Aim: This study assesses the safety and efficacy of particle embolization during bronchial artery embolization (BAE) in patients with shunts between bronchial and non-bronchial systemic arteries and the pulmonary artery.
Methods: In this retrospective, single-center study, we analyzed 312 BAE procedures performed from June 2020 to April 2023. The patient cohort had shunts between bronchial and non-bronchial systemic arteries and the pulmonary artery.
Objectives: Recurrent monoarthritis (RM) is a major challenge of many rheumatic diseases. Ablation is a well-known technique in the treatment of benign or malign lesions of different etiologies. We aimed to to investigate the success and safety of microwave ablation (MWA) as an adjunctive therapy in a cohort of medical treatment-resistant RM.

- The study compared the effectiveness and safety of macrocatheters versus microcatheters for genicular artery embolization (GAE) in treating knee osteoarthritis (OA), focusing on technical success and adverse events.
- In a retrospective analysis of 79 patients, the microcatheter group achieved a 100% technical success rate, while the macrocatheter group had a 91% rate, with shorter procedure times and reduced radiation exposure for the macrocatheter.
- The findings suggest that using a macrocatheter is cost-effective and safe, particularly for patients with simpler vascular anatomy, while microcatheters may be more beneficial for those with complex vascular systems.
