This article outlines general concepts of, and strategies for, therapeutic embolization throughout the body, touching on all major arterial distributions. Clinical scenarios that allow or prevent safe embolization of vessels are presented. Specific agents are recommended where appropriate, as are alternate approaches when embolization is not an option. Pre-embolization precautions and adjunctive measures are described in high-risk areas.

Endovascular intervention is a safe, effective treatment modality in the management of diverse pulmonary vascular pathologies, including acute or chronic thromboembolic disease, pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (pAVMs), pulmonary artery or bronchial artery hemorrhage, and foreign body retrieval. This article reviews indications, contraindications, techniques, and outcomes in endovascular management of common pulmonary vascular pathologies, with the goal of improving operator familiarity and facility with these procedures.

Patients on chronic anticoagulation undergoing metabolic surgery represent an increased risk of complications, including both bleeding and thrombotic events, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). The optimal perioperative management of patients who are receiving chronic anticoagulation therapy (CAT) is complex. In the colorectal surgery literature, patients on CAT have a 10% rate of peri-procedural bleeding and a 3% rate of thromboembolism.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine, 1-1 Seiryo-machi, Aoba-Ku, Sendai, Miyagi, 980-8574, Japan.
Background: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and osteoarthritis (OA) are two common diagnoses for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). The early surgical complications in THA for ONFH compared to OA are inconsistently reported. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate whether THA for ONFH was associated with early postoperative complications in comparison to THA for OA using a large database of Japanese patients.

Objective: Current literature acknowledges the complexity of exacerbation triggers in patients with asthma. We studied the clinical heterogeneity of patients with asthma exacerbation suspected of having pulmonary embolism using cluster analysis and compared the clusters regarding of the risks for pulmonary embolism.
Methods: In a secondary analysis of a dataset from the University of Florida, USA, individuals who experienced asthma exacerbation between June 2011 and October 2018 were included.
