Pediatric Transplant Interventions.

The field of pediatric organ transplantation has grown significantly in recent decades, with interventional radiology (IR) playing an essential role in managing pre and post-transplant complications. Pediatric transplant patients face unique challenges compared to adults, including donor-recipient size mismatch, and complications of a growing child with changing physiology. Interventional radiologists play a major role in pediatric renal and liver transplant.

Role of Resin Microsphere Y90 Dosimetry in Predicting Objective Tumor Response, Survival and Treatment Related Toxicity in Surgically Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastasis: A Retrospective Single Institution Study.

Purpose: To Evaluate the correlation between tumor dosimetric parameters with objective tumor response (OR) and overall survival (OS) in patients with surgically unresectable colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) undergoing resin-based Ytrrium-90 selective internal radiation therapy (Y90 SIRT).

Materials And Methods: 45 consecutive patients with CRLM underwent resin-based Y90 SIRT in one or both hepatic lobes (66 treated lobes total). Dose volume histograms were created with MIM Sureplan v.

Impact of Genomic Mutation and Timing of Y90 Radioembolization in Colorectal Liver Metastases.

Purpose: To investigate timing of Yttrium-90 radioembolization (Y90) during treatment course, genomics, and other clinical factors as predictors of overall survival (OS) in colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) that have progressed on at least one line of chemotherapy.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective study from 2013 to 2018 of patients with CRLM and genomic analysis prior to Y90 at a multihospital tertiary referral center. OS from liver metastasis diagnosis and predictors of OS were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier estimation with log-rank and Cox regression analyses.
