Interventional radiology has experienced an exponential growth in the last years. Nowadays it is possible to treat painful benign lesions or metastases with optimal results in terms of pain management and disease control. Among the benign lesions, osteoid osteoma is the most frequently treated with minimal invasive techniques and the results are excellent. Another lesion, traditionally treated with surgery (osteoblastoma) represent today another field of application. In the oncological field, metastases are, numerically, the most diffuse indications for treatment. Research carried out during the last decades has provided the interventional radiologist with a great variety of techniques of ablation and devices for monitoring the sensitive structures close to the target lesion. New ablation techniques and monitoring devices contribute to the achievement of significantly increasing rates of effectiveness and safety of interventional radiology procedures.

Creating an Ellipsys percutaneous arteriovenous fistula after a failed ipsilateral WavelinQ fistula: A case report of an endovascular approach for access restoration.

The introduction of devices for endovascular dialysis access creation (WavelinQ and Ellipsys) offers practitioners more options for access management in dialysis patients. Especially in terms of reducing the usage of central venous catheters, a native fistula is desirable as an initial dialysis access. We present a case in which a failed WavelinQ type fistula was reactivated using the Ellipsys procedure on the same arm.

Department of Interventional Radiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, China.
Introduction: This study aims to critically assess the appropriateness and limitations of two prominent large language models (LLMs), enhanced representation through knowledge integration (ERNIE Bot) and chat generative pre-trained transformer (ChatGPT), in answering questions about liver cancer interventional radiology. Through a comparative analysis, the performance of these models will be evaluated based on their responses to questions about transarterial chemoembolization and hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy in both English and Chinese contexts.
Methods: A total of 38 questions were developed to cover a range of topics related to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), including foundational knowledge, patient education, and treatment and care.
Uterine artery embolization in the management of postpartum hemorrhage.
World J Emerg Surg

The Research Office, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, United Arab Emirates University, Al Ain, United Arab Emirates.
Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading preventable causes of maternal morbidity and mortality causing one-fourth of all maternal deaths. We aimed to study the role of uterine artery embolization (UAE) in controlling PPH and its impact on the need for hysterectomy.
Methods: We studied patients who were diagnosed with primary PPH between February 2012 and March 2020 at Al Ain Hospital, United Arab Emirates.

Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is the third most common endocrine system disorder. Parathyroidectomy (PTx) is the gold standard of care in symptomatic patients. Patients who are not surgical candidates may benefit from percutaneous ethanol ablation, which is a minimally invasive procedure.
