yanoacrylate glues are liquid alkyl-2-cyanoacrylate monomers that, on contact with ionic mediums (e.g., water, blood), form flexible polymers strong adhesive bonds to soft tissues.These in isolation nonviscous, radiolucent, and rapidly polymerize.Consequently, they combined as a two-component embolic agent either tantalum powder or ethiodized oil.The added prolongs polymerization time, opacifies the agent, allows for its visualization under fluoroscopy.With super-selective catheter delivery...
Purpose In 90 Y microsphere radioembolization ( RE ), accurate post‐therapy imaging‐based dosimetry is important for establishing absorbed dose versus outcome relationships developing future treatment planning strategies. Additionally, accurately assessing distributions because of concerns unexpected activity deposition outside the liver. Quantitative imaging by either SPECT or PET challenging. model based methods are necessary scatter correction energy window‐based not feasible with...
The objective of our study was to report the technique, complications, and clinical outcomes interventional radiology-operated cholecystoscopy with stone removal for management symptomatic cholelithiasis.Ten (77%) men three (23%) women (mean age, 65 years) cholelithiasis underwent cholecystostomy followed by removal. Major comorbidities precluding cholecystectomy included prior cardiac, pulmonary, or abdominal surgery; cirrhosis; sepsis hyponatremia; seizure disorder; developmental delay;...
Abstract Background and Objectives This study assessed the outcomes of Yttrium‐90 ( 90 Y) radiation segmentectomy for hepatic metastases unamenable to resection or ablation. Materials Methods Over 6 years, 36 patients with 53 tumors underwent segmental radioembolization. Patients were not candidates surgical thermal Malignancies included from colorectal cancer (31%), neuroendocrine (28%), sarcoma (19%), others (22%). Eighty‐one percent had undergone prior treatment systemic chemotherapy....
Percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy (PTCS) was initially described around the same time that peroral (POSC) developed. The cited utility attributed to PTCS is ability be utilized in subset of patients with surgical proximal bowel anatomy, often precluding use traditional POSC. However, since first described, has been limited due a lack physician awareness and procedure-specific equipment supplies. With recent developments PTSC-specific equipment, there an expansion possible...
Thrombosis of the inferior vena cava and iliac veins, known as iliocaval thrombosis, is a common cause significant morbidity. Patients with chronic obstruction often present life-limiting occlusive symptoms secondary to recurrent lower extremity deep venous swelling, pain, stasis ulcers, or phlegmasia. Endovascular reconstruction technically successful procedure that results in favorable clinical outcomes stent patency rates few complications able relieve debilitating affected patients. This...
