Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma showing macroscopic vascular invasion have a poor prognosis. Sorafenib is the sole treatment option for these patients, unsatisfactory response and survival benefit. Combined transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) plus external beam radiotherapy (RT) has shown promising results patients in observational studies.To evaluate efficacy safety of TACE RT compared sorafenib invasion.In this randomized, open-label clinical trial conducted at an academic...
Radiofrequency (RF) ablation has been gaining popularity as a minimally invasive treatment for benign thyroid nodules regardless of the extent solid component. RF demonstrated volume reductions 33-58% after one month and 51-85% six months, while solving nodule-related clinical problems. recently shown positive short-term results locoregional control well symptom improvement in patients with recurrent cancers. This paper reviews basic physics, indications, patient preparation, devices,...
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of pelvic arterial embolization (PAE) for treatment primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) to determine factors associated with clinical outcomes.This retrospective single-center study was institutional review board approved, informed consent waived. Outcomes were analyzed in 251 patients who underwent PAE PPH between January 2000 February 2011. Mode delivery, causes bleeding, detailed laboratory records, outcomes recorded. Clinical success defined as...
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasonography- fluoroscopy-guided transvaginal catheter drainage for pelvic fluid collection. This single-center retrospective study included nine female patients who underwent collection unsuitable transabdominal access between October 2016 January 2023. The analyzed patient symptoms signs, ultrasonography CT findings, approach details, technical clinical outcomes, including complications. Catheters size 7 or 8.5-Fr, with without an endocavitary...
Pure neuronal and mixed neuronal-glial tumors of the central nervous system are uncommon but fascinating because they less aggressive than more common glial their prognosis is excellent. Neurologic manifestations varied include seizures, symptoms increased intracranial pressure, neurologic deficits according to tumor location. Many demonstrate characteristic radiologic findings. At magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, gangliocytomas low signal intensity on T1-weighted images, high T2-weighted...
The role of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) or chemoinfusion (TACI) for unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) has recently been questioned. aim the study was to evaluate clinical efficacy TACE TACI in patients with ICC and identify prognostic factors associated success.From 1997 2007, 49 were treated (n = 124) 96). Tumor response evaluated based on computed tomography scans obtained 1 month 3 months after TACI. Factors success using multivariate logistic...
Purpose To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) performed in patients with nonresectable combined hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma analyze prognostic factors patient survival after TACE. Materials Methods Each provided informed consent for The institutional review board approved current study waived requirement this retrospective review. From 1997 to 2009, 50 underwent TACE HCC-cholangiocarcinoma. Tumor response was...
To evaluate the frequency of hepatic arterial injury in 3110 patients who had undergone percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) and assess risk factors for treatment outcome after transcatheter embolization.A total underwent 3780 PTBDs between January 2003 December 2008 were retrospectively assessed. This study was approved by Institutional Review Board. The incidence determined associated with it analyzed using univariate multiple logistic regression analyses. Hepatic angiography...
To evaluate outcomes of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE)-covered stents and compare them with uncovered in patients malignant superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome.This study was approved by the institutional review board written informed consent obtained. Thirty-seven consecutive (33 men, four women; mean age, 60.3 years; range, 35-81 years) who underwent ePTFE-covered stent placement for SVC syndrome were enrolled a prospective between January 2009 September 2011. Their data compared...
To compare the effectiveness of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for treating small (≤2 cm) hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs).This retrospective study consisted 287 patients (mean age, 57.1 years; age range, 29-84 221 men, 66 women; 73.5% with HBV; 100% liver cirrhosis) Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer very early-stage HCC cm single HCC) who were initially treated TACE (n=122) or RFA (n=165). The primary end point was overall patient survival. Secondary...
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a very rare tumor. The purpose of this study to determine the MR imaging features SFT in intracranial and extracranial head neck regions.We retrospectively reviewed six images two CT histologically proven cases that occurred four men women, their ages ranged from 46 59 years. These findings were correlated with microscopic surgical specimens.Six SFTs arose meninges (the petrous ridge pituitary fossa), parotid gland, parapharyngeal space, buccal space maxillary...
The objective of our study was to analyze the technical and clinical outcomes endovascular treatment patients with extrahepatic artery hemorrhage after pancreatobiliary surgery.From January 2000 September 2009, 27 who had undergone pancreaticobiliary surgery an or without a pseudoaneurysm were enrolled in this retrospective study. All underwent diagnostic angiography treatment-either transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) (n = 20) stent-graft placement 7).Bleeding sites located...
