Y-Radioembolization After Failed Portal Vein Embolization for Colorectal Liver Metastases: A Case Report.
Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol
August 2020
The main limiting factor for liver resection is insufficient future liver remnant (FLR). Portal vein embolization (PVE) is a standard of care treatment to induce FLR hypertrophy, but it is not always efficient. Radioembolization (RE) has a potential to induce liver hypertrophy for PVE-refractory patients.

- The human gut microbiota is made up of trillions of microbes that adapt to the diverse environment of the intestine and play a crucial role in nutrient exchange and immune function.
- These microbes and the human host work together as a unit to protect against pathogens and maintain balance, but disruptions in this balance, known as dysbiosis, can lead to disease.
- Understanding the dynamics between the microbiota and the host may influence future antibiotic treatments and lead to alternative approaches like fecal transplants for maintaining gut health.
Background: Aim of the study was to evaluate the initial results of endovascular aneurysm repair with the Ovation abdominal stent-graft system in patients with challenging aortoiliac anatomy.
Methods: The Ovation stent-graft is an ultra-low profile, modular endovascular graft characterized by a 14F OD delivery system, active suprarenal fixation, and polymer-filled proximal rings that allow sealing in short (≥7 mm) proximal necks. Between November 2010 and January 2012, 14 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) (male: 100%, mean age: 76 years, mean AAA diameter: 54 mm) and challenging aortoiliac anatomy were treated with the Ovation endograft at a single centre.
Aortic rupture of acute aortic dissection type treated with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).
Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci
September 2016
Objective: Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is one of the most frequent aortic emergencies, which occurs to the vascular specialist. Endovascular reconstruction of the true lumen using minimally invasive stent grafting or stenting has become increasingly popular and widespread among institutions. The aim of this paper is to report a case series composed by twenty-eight patients, who underwent endovascular intervention for acute type B aortic dissections complicated by rupture using thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).
