We present the results of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in patients with unresectable primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.From 2000 to 2009, 13 17 cholangiocarcinomas underwent RFA at our institution. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma was because poor hepatic reserve due liver cirrhosis nine patients, extrahepatic extension two, atrophy left lobe one, and underlying comorbidities one. Ten tumors had a diameter less than 3 cm, five were between 5 two larger cm. Technical...
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...
Background Local tumor progression (LTP) is associated with poorer survival in patients undergoing radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for colorectal liver metastasis (CLM). An algorithmic strategy to predict LTP may help selection of who would benefit most from RFA CLM. Purpose To estimate local progression–free (LTPFS) following CLM and develop an based on clinical variables. Materials Methods In this retrospective study, between March 2000 December 2014, underwent percutaneous were randomly...
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 technical safety, clinical and effectiveness of vascular plug-assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration (RTO) for treatment gastric varices (GV) hepatic encephalopathy (HE).This retrospective study was approved by the institutional review board; written informed consent waived. From April 2009 to December 2011, 20 patients (13, GV; seven, HE) who had undergone RTO were retrospectively evaluated. After placement a plug in left adrenal vein or gastrorenal shunt, subsequent...
Abstract Background & Aim The need for a subclassification of Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer ( BCLC ) intermediate‐stage B) has arisen because its diversity. We evaluated the prognostic capability B proposed by Bolondi et al. in patients treated with transarterial chemoembolization TACE ). Furthermore, we introduce new hepatocellular carcinoma HCC using parameter related to tumour burden (up‐to‐11 criteria). Methods Of 3268 as first‐line treatment, 821 were included this study. Results...
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...

Although balloon angioplasty has been accepted as the safe and effective initial treatment to manage hepatic venous outflow abnormalities, it may induce rupture of fresh anastomosis but also be ineffective eliminate various etiologies abnormalities in early post-transplant period. Therefore, we performed primary stent placement 108 patients treat early-onset (</=4 weeks) abnormality. The following parameters were documented retrospectively: technical success complications: clinical success;...
Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) has been limited in palliative treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with major portal vein (PV) invasion due to the possibility liver failure following embolization. chemoinfusion (TACI) an option such cases.To compare clinical outcomes after TACE vs. TACI HCC patients PV occlusion.We compared occlusion. From 2005 2007, 110 thrombosis were treated (n = 49) or 61).The morbidity rate was similar for both (6.1%) and (6.5%)...
