This retrospective study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous removal pulmonary intravascular foreign bodies in children. single-center, analyzed cases body children over a 13-year peiod. There were total 9 children, with mean age 8.6 years. The most common catheter fragments (n = 7). success rate retrieval was 100%, only one case transient arrhythmia as complication. Preliminary findings suggest that is safe effective method for removing
Background Both ascites and thrombosis are common complications of liver disease. Abdominal paracentesis to drain has a low reported risk hemorrhage, but it is unknown how exposure direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) such as apixaban increases this risk. Objectives We aim quantify the rate major bleeding identify additional factors for in patients on undergoing paracentesis. Methods performed retrospective cohort study all exposed within seven days prior at single US academic hospital between...
Percutaneous sclerotherapy (PS) is a safe and less invasive approach to treat lymphatic malformations (LM). The purpose of this institutional review board–approved retrospective was characterize LM evaluate outcomes with PS at tertiary care pediatric center. Twenty-five children (11 boys, 14 girls) underwent for our institution from 2015-2023. Demographics, imaging, treatments, outcomes, follow-up were obtained. Lesion size defined by the maximal cross-sectional area (cm2). Change in lesion...
Rapunzel syndrome is a rare clinical entity in pediatric patients with history of trichotillomania and trichophagia that has only been mentioned few times the literature. It characterized by abnormal gastric bezoar formation sometimes extends to duodenum, jejunum, or colon. Here, we present case 16-year-old previously healthy female patient who had prolonged hospitalization due complications related significant led massive bleeding superior mesenteric artery (SMA)-duodenal fistula...
Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utility routinely performing short-interval cholecystogram (SIC) following percutaneous cholecystostomy tube (PCT) placement and identify predictive factors for early PCT dislodgment. Materials Methods We conducted retrospective review 224 adult patients who underwent acute cholecystitis at a single tertiary care medical center. SIC was defined as occurring least 1 day after prior patient being discharged from hospital. Early...
e21592 Background: More than 90% of patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (MUM) have disease in the liver. MUM has a poor prognosis following development liver metastasis. Control progression correlates improved survival MUM. We present single-institution experience treating immuno-embolization (IE) metastasis using GM-CSF combination an anti-PD1 antibody (Pembrolizumab). Methods: This retrospective study includes who received liver-directed therapy IV Pembrolizumab at University Iowa....
Abstract Inspissated bile syndrome (IBS) is a rare cause of obstructive jaundice in infants. Despite drainage and irrigation, obstruction may persist some cases with limited further options. This report presents case persistent IBS 5-month-old female worsening liver failure despite cholecystostomy saline last-ditch effort was made to irrigate Gastrografin. Patient's bilirubin decreased from 15.5 8.3 mg/dL after 1 day. Her functions tests normalized by 2 weeks. Gastrografin's hyperosmolarity...
Abstract Background Prophylactic cystic artery embolization (CAE) is used to prevent radiation cholecystitis in patients undergoing transarterial radioembolization (TARE), but the incidence of ischemic following CAE remains unclear. Purpose This retrospective study aimed determine after prophylactic prior TARE. Methods The medical records 22 who underwent TARE between 2002 and 2021 were reviewed. Patients assessed for evidence acute gallbladder imaging changes procedure. Results Four out...
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and utility of portable Renal Hilar Doppler Ultrasound (RHDUS) screening for Artery Stenosis (RAS) in critically-ill patients. Materials methods:A retrospective study adult Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients receiving RHDUS to rule out RAS spanning a time frame one year.Patients were included with exclusion under 18 years, exams poor diagnostic quality.Patients' sex, age, serum creatinine BUN, risk factors RAS, primary secondary indications requested exam...
