Preoperative portal vein embolization for liver malignancies.
Hepatogastroenterology
December 2006
St. Petersburg Research Institute of Roentgenology and Radiation Therapy, St. Petersburg, Russia.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of portal vein embolization in patients undergoing extensive liver surgery for cancer.
- During the procedure, 24 patients had their right portal vein embolized, resulting in a significant increase in future liver volume, improving from an average of 25% to 35% of the total liver.
- The findings suggest that the embolization technique is safe and can reduce the risk of postoperative liver failure in patients with limited liver reserve.
Oily chemoembolization of pancreatic head adenocarcinoma.
Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol
July 2002
St. Petersburg Research Institute of Roentgenology and Radiation Therapy, Russia.
Article Synopsis
- Oily chemoembolization has been traditionally used for liver cancer, but this case explores its application for pancreatic cancer.
- A 48-year-old patient with inoperable pancreatic adenocarcinoma underwent 10 treatments using gemcitabine-in-lipiodol, resulting in significant tumor reduction and no viable tumor detected on imaging.
- The patient remains alive and symptom-free 22 months post-treatment, suggesting that oily chemoembolization could be a viable palliative option for pancreatic head carcinoma.
Transcatheter therapy of gastric cancer metastatic to the liver: preliminary results.
J Gastroenterol
December 2000
Division of Angio/Interventional Radiology, St. Petersburg Research Institute of Roentgenology and Radiation Therapy, Russia.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of transcatheter chemotherapy methods for liver metastases in unresectable gastric cancer patients.
- Courses of hepatic artery infusion and oily chemoembolization were performed on 24 patients, showing a positive treatment response in 92% and 50% of patients respectively.
- The survival rates were significantly higher for those receiving arterial infusion, suggesting it should be the preferred treatment over chemoembolization for better outcomes.
Ischemic complications of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization in liver malignancies.
Acta Radiol
March 2000
Division of Angio/Interventional Radiology, St. Petersburg Research Institute of Roentgenology and Radiation Therapy, Russia.
Objective: To determine the frequency, character, methods of treatment, and outcome of ischemic complications after transcatheter hepatic artery chemoembolization (TACE).
Material And Methods: Between 1985 and 1998, 827 sessions of TACE with Doxorubicin mixed with iodized oil, and gelatin sponge particles were performed in 282 patients with primary and metastatic liver cancer. Post-TACE monitoring included clinical observation, US and CT.
Pelvic pain syndrome caused by ovarian varices. Treatment by transcatheter embolization.
Acta Radiol
November 1997
Division of Angio/Interventional Radiology, St Petersburg Research Institute of Roentgenology and Radiation Therapy, Russia.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effect of therapeutic embolization in the pelvic congestion syndrome caused by ovarian varices.
Material And Methods: Six women, aged 25-40 years, with pelvic pain syndrome and marked left (n = 5) or bilateral (n = 1) ovarian varicocele were treated by transcatheter retrograde venous embolization.
Results: The pelvic pain syndrome disappeared in all patients within 4 weeks, and there was regression of the periodic pain in 2 women with dysmenorrhoea.
