Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) using single-plane C-arm fluoroscopy.
Materials And Methods: Lesions in the present study all comprised compression fractures with intact pedicles. A polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) mixture was injected by the transpedicular approach under C-arm fluoroscopy using a lateral projection. Before and after PVP, the pain score was determined using visual analog scale methods.
Results: Between June 2002 and May 2004, we performed 31 PVPs in 17 patients during 22 treatment sessions. Underlying pathology comprised neoplasm-related compression fracture (n=9) and fractures attributed to osteoporosis (n=8). Mean pain score was 8.0 (range, 4.5-10) immediately before PVP, and 1.9 (range, 0-7) at 24 h after PVP. Mean time needed to perform PVP was 59 min. Mean time to approach a pedicle was 36 min (range, 20 min for 1 pedicle to 110 min for 3 pedicles). No complications requiring surgical intervention or exacerbating conditions beyond pre-treatment levels were noted.
Conclusion: PVP using single-plane C-arm fluoroscopy for guidance is feasible, safe, and quick.

Background: Intraoperative angiography (IOA) has been shown to be a useful adjunct in surgical treatment of cerebral aneurysms. However, its use can be limited by hybrid operating room availability. On the other hand, the use of C-arm fluoroscopy can add challenges to IOA during navigation of the aortic arch and selection of the great vessels.

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is often used to evaluate the physiological severity of intermediate coronary stenoses, but less-invasive assessment methods are desirable. We evaluated the feasibility of angiographic FFR (angioFFR) calculated from two projections acquired simultaneously by a biplane C-arm system and angioFFR calculated from two projections acquired independently by one plane of the same biplane C-arm system. AngioFFR was validated against FFR in terms of detection of hemodynamically relevant coronary artery stenoses.

To develop an imaging-based 3D catheter navigation system for transbronchial procedures including biopsy and tumor ablation using a single-plane C-arm x-ray system. The proposed system provides time-resolved catheter shape and position as well as motion compensated 3D airway roadmaps. A continuous-sweep limited angle (CLA) imaging mode where the C-arm continuously rotates back and forth within a limited angular range while acquiring x-ray images was used for device tracking.

Purpose: To quantify the displacement of the vascular structures after insertion of stiff devices during endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysm and to identify potential parameters influencing this displacement.
Materials And Methods: A total of 50 patients from a single center undergoing EVAR were prospectively enrolled between January 2016 and December 2017. Fusion imaging was employed using the EndoNaut (Therenva, Rennnes, France) station through a 3-dimensional (3D)/2-dimensional (2D) technology synchronizing the 3D computed tomography scan to the live intraoperative fluoroscopy.

Percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty (PBKP) is generally performed under two-dimensional (2D) radiography guidance (lateral- and anteroposterior (A-P) views) using C-arm fluoroscopy. However, 2D images taken by single-plane or bi-plane fluoroscopy cannot provide information regarding axial views, particularly the Z axis. Lack of information regarding the Z axis prevents the creation of three-dimensional (3D) images.
