Splenic steal syndrome (SSS) post liver transplant is a potential cause of graft dysfunction in the setting of peripheral hepatic arterial bed resistance and redirection of blood flow to a dominant splenic artery resulting in reduction of hepatic arterial inflow. We report utilization of balloon occlusion of the proximal splenic artery as an objective measure to confirm the diagnosis of SSS in a patient with orthotopic liver transplant followed by successful treatment with proximal splenic artery embolization using Gelfoam and Amplatzer vascular plug. Written informed consent for the publication of this case report was obtained from the patient.

Diffuse-type giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) is a rare, benign, yet locally aggressive soft tissue tumor commonly affecting the hand. This case report presents a 55-year-old male with a 5-year history of GCTTS in the flexor tendon sheath of the long finger. MRI played a critical role in both diagnosis and surgical planning, revealing key features such as the tumor's 10 cm length, hemosiderin deposition, and blooming artifacts.

Hybrid arch repair (HAR) combines surgical reconstruction of the ascending aorta and arch debranching with stent graft deployment into the descending thoracic aorta in an effort to reduce the morbidity associated with conventional open total arch replacement. We describe a case of delayed presentation for 2 thoracic aortic wall injuries caused by stent graft migration after type II HAR. This report highlights an important late complication of HAR and the need for careful device selection.

Background: Fluorine-18 (F) flumazenil (FMZ) has been synthesized using various precursors, and its role has been explored in imaging Gamma-aminobutyric acid-A receptors.
Aim And Objective: The main objective was to synthesize (F) FMZ using isotopic substitution.
Materials And Methods: Around 18 ± 2 GBq was added to the module, dried, and radiolabeling was standardized with 3.

Objectives: The objective is to evaluate the efficacy of F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-FDG-PET) computed tomography (CT) in the evaluation of tumor response to preoperative/palliative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for advanced colorectal cancer; including metastatic cancer at primary presentation and recurrent cancers with local and/or distant metastasis.
Materials And Methods: Fifty patients with advanced rectal cancer underwent two point imaging with 18 FDG PET-CT before and after 3 weeks of completion of preoperative/palliative CRT in between 2016 and 2022. Patients with locally recurrent cancer also underwent radical surgery.
