We present a case of persisting macroscopic haematuria in a patient with severe co-morbidity and need of blood transfusion. With a combination of selective embolisation of the internal pudendal artery and transurethral microwave therapy in local anaesthesia, the patient was treated successfully.

Background: Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are abnormal communications between dural arteries and cortical, meningeal, or dural sinus veins. They represent 10-15% of intracranial arteriovenous malformations. In rare cases, they have been associated with potentially reversible cognitive impairment and dementia.

Purpose: Soft-tissue filler injections, particularly hyaluronic acid, are popular for temple volume restoration. Although uncommon, this area poses risk for vision loss from embolic occlusion. Guidelines recommend injecting into the supraperiosteal plane for safety; however, the deep temporal arteries (DTAs) in this plane pose a risk.

Background: Current guidelines recommend preserving at least one of the bilateral pelvic flows in patients with aortoiliac aneurysms. The sandwich parallel graft, using commercially available devices, provides a viable option for patients who fall outside the instructions for use of iliac branch devices. However, gutter endoleak remains a significant challenge.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the early experiences of prostate artery embolization (PAE) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Material And Methods: This retrospective study included all patients treated for BPH who were referred to the radiology department for PAE in Västmanland between 2018 and 2021. Data were collected on patient demographics, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), prostate-specific antigen level, and peri- and post-procedure outcomes.

Coronary microembolization (CME) is defined as atherosclerotic plaque erosion, spontaneous rupture, or rupture of the plaque while undergoing interventional therapy resulting in the formation of tiny emboli that obstruct the coronary microcirculatory system. For percutaneous coronary intervention, CME is a major complication, with a periprocedural incidence of up to 25%. Recent studies have demonstrated that regulatory cell death (RCD) exerts a profound influence on CME through its modulation of inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, cell death, and angiogenesis.
