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...
Background & Aims: CARTO and PARTO are well-accepted treatment for gastric variceal (GV) bleeding. However, long-term (>2 years) clinical outcomes have yet to be studied. In this study, we investigated outcomes, including overall survival (OS) in 10 years Methods: We performed a multi-national, multi-center, retrospective study of CARTO/PARTO GV treatments between 05/2012 07/2024. The primary were OS prognostic factors CARTO/PARTO. secondary clinical/technical success, complications,...
To investigate the outcomes of percutaneous metallic stent placements in patients with malignant biliary hilar obstruction (MBHO).From January 2007 to December 2014, 415 (mean age, 65 years; 261 men [62.8%]) MBHO were retrospectively studied. All underwent unilateral or bilateral stenting a T, Y, crisscross configuration utilizing covered uncovered stents. The clinical evaluated technical and success, complications, overall survival rates, occlusion-free survival.A total 784 stents...
This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intranodal lymphangiography thoracic duct embolization (TDE) for chyle leakage (CL) after thyroid surgery.
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with infiltrative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to identify prognostic factors associated patient survival.Materials Methods: Fifty two who underwent TACE for HCC were evaluated between 2007 2010.The maximum diameter tumors ranged from 7 cm 22 (median 15 cm).Of 46 portal vein tumor thrombosis, 32 received adjuvant radiation therapy thrombosis after TACE. Results:The response by...
Purpose To investigate the cardiac computed tomographic (CT) findings and clinical implications of subprosthetic pannus in patients who have undergone aortic valve replacement. Materials Methods The institutional review board approved this retrospective study, need to obtain written informed consent was waived. From April 2011 March 2012, 88 (mean age, 63 years; 45 men) with a prosthetic underwent CT were retrospectively selected. Dynamic images analyzed by using multiplanar reformatted...
Purpose To evaluate the effectiveness of catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) with 95% ethanol in patients primary or recurrent ovarian endometriomas. Materials and Methods In this prospective study, 14 participants (mean age, 32 years; range, 20-44 years) who underwent CDS for endometrioma from March 2015 to December 2017 were evaluated. Diagnosis was based on symptoms imaging studies. assess impact reserve, serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) measured before 6 months after CDS. Serum...
To investigate the impact of liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in staging evaluation newly diagnosed colorectal cancer patients.No clear guidelines regarding how to use MRI evaluating cancer.We included 863 adults who had without concomitant malignancies and received portal-phase contrast-enhanced abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT). Patients diminutive indeterminate hypoattenuating ["too-small-to-characterize" (TSTC)] hepatic lesions other suspicious/indeterminate findings...
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of prophylactic uterine artery embolization (UAE) before obstetrical procedures with high risk for massive bleeding.Materials Methods: A retrospective review 29 female patients who underwent UAE from June 2009 to February 2014 was performed.Indications were as follows: dilatation curettage (D&C) associated ectopic pregnancy (cesarean scar pregnancy, n = 9; cervical 6), termination abnormal placentation (placenta previa, 8), D&C retained placenta...
Background Data are limited regarding comparison between nonspherical polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles and tris-acryl gelatin microspheres (TAGM) in uterine artery embolization (UAE). Purpose To compare pain after UAE with PVA versus TAGM for treatment of symptomatic fibroids. Materials Methods In this randomized clinical trial, participants were assigned to be administered (355-550 μm) or (500-700 μm). Both groups fentanyl-based intravenous patient-controlled analgesia during the first 24...
The purpose of this article is to assess the technical feasibility and clinical effectiveness placement partially covered self-expandable dual stents in patients with afferent loop syndrome.Data from 13 consecutive who had undergone stent for syndrome after various types surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Nine underwent via percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage tract, four peroral route. A total 16 used study (i.e., 15 one fully esophageal stent).The route insertion was determined...
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and feasibility of intraoperative radiofrequency ablation (IORFA) under ultrasound guidance for treatment liver metastases from gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs).Materials Methods: From August 2009 to February 2017, 24 patients with GISTs underwent IORFA, 14 concurrent IORFA primary GIST resection, 10 treat hepatic recurrence after previous resection.Seventy-six were treated, which 47 surgically resected 29 IORFA.All included received...
To evaluate an EW-7197-eluting nanofiber-covered stent (NFCS) for suppressing granulation tissue formation after placement in a canine urethral model.All experiments were approved by the committee of animal research. A total 12 NFCSs placed proximal and distal urethras six dogs. Dogs divided into two groups with 3 dogs each. The control (CS) group received drug (DS) EW-7197 (1000 μg)-eluting NFCSs. All sacrificed 8 weeks Histologic findings stented urethra compared using Mann-Whitney U...
