Purpose: To assess the feasibility of live magnetic resonance (MR) angiography roadmapping guidance for uterine artery (UA) embolization (UAE) for fibroid tumors.
Materials And Methods: Twenty patients underwent UAE with live MR angiographic roadmapping. The pre-acquired MR angiography scan was coregistered with the live intraprocedural fluoroscopy stream to create a visual roadmap to direct the microcatheter during UAE. Patient radiation dose, as measured by dose-area product (DAP), procedure time, contrast medium volume, and fluoroscopy time, was recorded. For the first 10 patients, an additional parameter of contrast medium volume needed to catheterize each UA was recorded.
Results: In all 20 patients (40 UAs), the MR angiography overlay on live fluoroscopy was accurate and allowed for successful catheterization of the UA, resulting in a technical success rate of 100%. In the subset of the initial 20 UAs (ie, the first 10 patients) in which this data point was recorded, 17 (85%) were successfully catheterized with no iodinated contrast medium at all, by purely relying on the MR angiography roadmap. Mean procedure time was 45 minutes (range, 30-99 min), mean contrast agent dose was 75 mL (range, 46-199 mL), and mean DAP was 155 Gy · cm(2) (range, 37-501 Gy · cm(2)).
Conclusions: Live MR angiographic roadmapping is feasible and accurate for catheter guidance during UAE.

Article Synopsis
- The treatment of brain arteriovenous malformation (bAVM) includes various methods like microsurgery and embolization, with complete obliteration rates that vary significantly based on the grade of the bAVM.
- The study emphasizes the effectiveness of dynamic 3D roadmap technology during endovascular procedures, improving navigation of microcatheters and reducing the need for multiple 2D angiograms, which can lower radiation exposure.
- No complications were reported in the 21 cases treated using this method, highlighting its safety and efficacy in achieving higher rates of complete obliteration during bAVM embolization.

Purpose: Long-term outcome and prognostic factors of transcatheter embolization for gastroduodenal peptic ulcer bleeding are unknown. This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical outcome and factors associated with early recurrent bleeding and 30-day mortality of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for severe, upper gastroduodenal hemorrhage associated with peptic ulcer and refractory to medical and endoscopic therapy.
Methods: A monocenter, retrospective study from 2005 to 2020 including 76 consecutive patients who underwent TAE as first-line therapy for bleeding gastroduodenal peptic ulcers refractory to endoscopic therapy.
Reduction of radiation dose using real-time visual feedback dosimetry during angiographic interventions.

This prospective study sought to evaluate potential savings of radiation dose to medical staff using real-time dosimetry coupled with visual radiation dose feedback during angiographic interventions. For this purpose, we analyzed a total of 214 angiographic examinations that consisted of chemoembolizations and several other types of therapeutic interventions. The Unfors RaySafe i2 dosimeter was worn by the interventionalist at chest height over the lead protection.
