Recanalization of occluded right innominate vein in presence of a persistent LeVeen shunt: A vascular access rescue case.
Vascular
December 2024
Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Department of Cardiac, Thoracic, Vascular Sciences and Public Health, University of Padua, Padova, Italy.
Background: Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCs) is a common complication in hemodialysis patients due to central vein occlusions, often caused by prior catheterizations. Management can be challenging.
Objective: To describe a successful endovascular approach to managing SVCs caused by right innominate vein (RIV) occlusion in a hemodialysis patient with a non-functional LeVeen shunt.
Chest tube placement incidence when using gelatin sponge torpedoes after pulmonary radiofrequency ablation.
Res Diagn Interv Imaging
June 2024
Department of Radiology, CHU de Nantes, 1, place Alexis-Ricordeau, 44093 Nantes, France.
Purpose: To assess the efficacy of the gelatin torpedoes embolization technique after lung neoplastic lesions percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (PRFA) to reduce chest tube placement rate and hospital length of stay, and the safety of this embolization technique.
Materials And Methods: A total of 114 PRFA of lung neoplastic lesions performed in two centers between January 2017 and December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Two groups were compared, with 42 PRFA with gelatin torpedoes embolization technique (gelatin group) and 72 procedures without (control group).

JTO Clin Res Rep
March 2020
Division of Oncology and Pathology, Department of Clinical Sciences Lund, Lund University, Lund, Sweden.
Objectives: Mutation analysis by massive parallel sequencing (MPS) is routinely performed in the clinical management of lung cancer in Sweden. We describe the clinical and mutational profiles of lung cancer patients subjected to the first 1.5 years of treatment predictive MPS testing in an autonomous regional health care region.
