Article Synopsis
- This study examines the outcomes of patients with intermediate-high and high-risk pulmonary embolism treated with the Inari FlowTriever mechanical thrombectomy system.
- A total of 27 patients were analyzed, showing significant improvements in pulmonary artery pressures and heart rates after the procedure, although there were some serious complications, including deaths.
- The findings suggest that mechanical thrombectomy is a feasible option for high-risk PE patients with acceptable complication rates, highlighting the need for further research in larger populations.
Purpose: This study compared proximal and distal embolization of the splenic artery (SA) in patients with splenic artery steal syndrome (SAS) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) regarding post interventional changes of liver function to identify an ideal location of embolization.
Methods And Materials: 85 patients with SAS after OLT treated with embolization of the SA between 2007 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Periinterventional DSA was used to assess treatment success and to stratify patients according to the site of embolization.
Objectives: In this study, pre-treatment target lesion vascularisation in either contrast-enhanced (CE) CT or MRI and post-treatment lipiodol deposition in native CT scans were compared in HCC patients who underwent their first cTACE treatment. We analysed the impact of stratification according to cTACE selectivity on these correlations.
Methods: Seventy-eight HCC patients who underwent their first cTACE procedure were retrospectively included.
Background: Complete resection of grade II gliomas might prolong survival but is not always possible. The goal of the study was to evaluate the location of unexpected grade II gliomas remnants after assumed complete removal with intraoperative (iop) MRI and to assess the reason for their non-detection.
Methods: Intraoperative MR images of 35 patients with hemispheric grade II gliomas, acquired after assumed complete removal of preoperatively segmented tumor/tumor part, were studied for existence of unexpected tumor remnants.
