Prophylactic Radiologic Interventions for Postpartum Hemorrhage Control in Women With Placenta Accreta Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Objective: To quantify the association between prophylactic radiologic interventions and perioperative blood loss during cesarean delivery in women with placenta accreta spectrum disorder through a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Data Sources: On January 3, 2023, a literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. We also checked ClinicalTrials.

Prophylactic radiologic interventions to reduce postpartum hemorrhage in women with risk factors for placenta accreta spectrum disorder: a nationwide cohort study.

Objective: To quantify the association between prophylactic radiologic interventions and perioperative blood loss in women with risk factors for placenta accreta spectrum disorder (PAS).

Methods: We conducted a retrospective nationwide cohort study of women with risk factors for placenta accreta spectrum disorder who underwent planned cesarean section in 69 Dutch hospitals between 2008 and 2013. All women had two risk factors for PAS: placenta previa/anterior low-lying placenta and a history of cesarean section(s).

Study Protocol PROMETHEUS: Prospective Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Correlation Between Safety Margin and Local Recurrence After Thermal Ablation Using Image Co-registration in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Purpose: The primary objective is to determine the minimal ablation margin required to achieve a local recurrence rate of < 10% in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing thermal ablation. Secondary objectives are to analyze the correlation between ablation margins and local recurrence and to assess efficacy.

Materials And Methods: This study is a prospective, multicenter, non-experimental, non-comparative, open-label study.

Successful Endovascular Treatment of a Giant Intraparenchymal Renal Artery Pseudoaneurysm in a Young Female Patient.

Introduction: Pseudoaneurysms of the renal artery are fairly uncommon and mostly asymptomatic. They develop mostly in the right renal artery and in female patients.

Report: In this report, a female patient with an intraparenchymal renal artery pseudoaneurysm with one year follow up is described.

Catheter-directed thrombolysis versus percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy in the management of acute limb ischemia: a single center review.

Background: Acute limb ischemia is associated with significant mortality and amputation rate. Early restoration of flow can be obtained by various treatment methods that include catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) and percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT). These treatments have been shown to be effective but associated with various complications.

Balloon-assisted venous access salvage through a thrombosed arteriovenous graft.

Introduction: Maintaining vascular access by means of radiological intervention has become the mainstay of management of patients with central venous stenoses and occlusions (CVO), which can be challenging. We present a case of balloon-assisted percutaneous puncture of an occluded left subclavian vein, through a thrombosed arteriovenous graft, for a tunneled dialysis catheter insertion.

Methods: A thrombosed left arm arteriovenous graft was accessed, and the occluded left subclavian vein was traversed with 0.

Preoperative agreement on the geometric classification and 2-dimensional measurement of rotator cuff tears based on magnetic resonance arthrography.

Purpose: To determine the intraobserver and interobserver agreement on the geometric classification and 2-dimensional measurements of rotator cuff tears based on magnetic resonance arthrography.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed preoperative magnetic resonance arthrograms of 73 consecutive patients who were surgically treated for their full-thickness rotator cuff tears. The images were blinded and evaluated by 2 orthopaedic shoulder surgeons and 2 musculoskeletal radiologists using the geometric classification of rotator cuff tears (type 1, crescent-shaped tear; type 2, longitudinal U- or L-shaped tear; type 3a, massive tear measuring between 20 and 30 mm; and type 3b, massive contracted tear measuring >30 mm) and measuring the sagittal/coronal dimensions of the tear.

Clinical outcome and structural integrity of all-arthroscopic repair of degenerative subscapularis tendon tears.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of all-arthroscopic repair of degenerative subscapularis tendon tears and post-operative structural integrity using magnetic resonance imaging with a short-term follow-up.

Methods: Twenty-one patients were treated all-arthroscopically for a full-thickness degenerative subscapularis tendon tear. Median patient age was 55 years (range, 41-69).

Elastoplasty: first experience in 12 patients.

Purpose: Percutaneous vertebroplasty with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is used increasingly for pain relief in symptomatic neoplastic or osteoporotic compression fractures. However, restoration of the stiffness of the treated vertebrae might propagate secondary fracture of adjacent vertebrae. Elastoplasty might prevent these secondary fractures.

[Embolisation in spontaneous haemopneumothorax].

Background: Spontaneous haemopneumothorax is a rare disorder and is defined as spontaneous pneumothorax associated with the accumulation of more than 400 ml of blood in the pleural cavity.

Case Description: A 32-year-old male presented at the emergency department following sudden onset of right-sided stinging chest pain and difficulty in breathing. The chest X-ray showed right-sided hydropneumothorax.

[A woman with acute upper abdominal pain].

A 42-year-old woman came to the emergency department with acute abdominal pain. CT-scan showed an isolated dissection of the A. mesenterica superior and signs of ischaemic colitis.
