Emphysematous polycystic renal infection (EPRI) has a poor prognosis with conservative management, and early surgical nephrectomy has been recommended. However, percutaneous cyst drainage may be a possible treatment option. We experienced 6 patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) presenting with EPRI.

Article Synopsis
  • Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a severe urinary tract infection that can lead to high mortality rates, particularly in cases with underlying conditions, but it's rarely reported.
  • A 32-year-old pregnant woman with type 2 diabetes experienced worsening symptoms of pyelonephritis, leading to a diagnosis of EPN through imaging techniques.
  • Successful treatment involved antibiotic therapy, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and customized treatment approaches to safeguard both maternal and fetal health during pregnancy.

Objective: To evaluate the relevance of established surgical risk calculators (SRCs) for predicting complications in patients undergoing percutaneous lung cryoablation (PLC).

Methods: The institution's database was queried for PLC procedures from March 2015 to May 2024, excluding those patients with concomitant local therapies or five or more lesions treated in a single setting. Demographics, frailty metrics as defined by the surgical literature, and procedural variables were collected.
