Percutaneous Cryoablation of Liver Tumors: Initial Experience from a Tertiary Care Center in India.

Background: Percutaneous ablation is an important part of management strategy for liver tumors. While radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation are the most widely used ablative techniques, cryoablation (CA) has several technical advantages but has been underused till recently. In this study, we report the initial experience with percutaneous CA of liver tumors.

Bronchopulmonary arteriovenous malformation presenting as cryptogenic hemoptysis in a patient with bicuspid aortic valve.

We report the case of a 44-year-old male patient with bicuspid aortic valve, presenting with hemoptysis. Catheter angiography revealed an abnormal communication between bronchial and pulmonary artery, which remained undetected on computed tomography angiography. Angioembolization was done using polyvinyl alcohol and gelfoam particles.

Endovascular Management of Massive Hemoptysis Secondary to Systemic Collaterals in Previously Treated Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation.

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are abnormal connections between pulmonary artery and vein through a thin-walled aneurysmal sac, leading to a right-to-left shunt. These are commonly associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, and treatment guidelines have been set on how to approach their management. Incorrect proximal placement of an embolization device can lead to delayed recruitment of systemic collaterals leading to presentation with hemoptysis.

Spectrum of findings on magnetic resonance imaging of the brain in patients with neurological manifestations of dengue fever.

Objective: To describe the spectrum of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in patients with neurological manifestations of dengue.

Materials And Methods: We included nine patients with dengue fever (three females and six males; age range, 9-30 years), all of whom presented with neurological manifestations. The MRI examinations, performed in 1.

Goldenhar syndrome with contralateral pulmonary aplasia: a rare association.

We present a case of a 13-year-old boy with clinical features of Goldenhar syndrome (hemifacial microsomia with malformed ears) and associated contralateral pulmonary aplasia. The patient did not have any associated respiratory symptoms. Pulmonary aplasia is an uncommon association of Goldenhar Syndrome.

Multi-detector computed tomography imaging of large airway pathology: A pictorial review.

The tracheobronchial tree is a musculo-cartilagenous framework which acts as a conduit to aerate the lungs and consequently the entire body. A large spectrum of pathological conditions can involve the trachea and bronchial airways. These may be congenital anomalies, infections, post-intubation airway injuries, foreign body aspiration or neoplasms involving the airway.

Giant Unruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm: An Unusual Cause of Right Heart Failure.

Aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva is a rare cardiac abnormality. Unruptured aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva is usually asymptomatic and often discovered incidentally. However, a large aneurysm can, in rare cases, cause compression of the ventricular outflow tract.
