To report 6-month results of the DEBELLUM (Drug-Eluting Balloon Evaluation for Lower Limb MUltilevel TreatMent) randomized trial to evaluate efficacy a drug-eluting balloon (DEB) reduce restenosis after treatment multilevel lower limb occlusive disease vs. conventional angioplasty (AB).Between September 2010 and March 2011, 50 consecutive patients (37 men; mean age 66±4 years) with 122 lesions (96 stenoses 26 occlusions) femoropopliteal (92, 75.4%) or below-the-knee (BTK) arteries (30,...
Abstract Background Endoleaks represent the most common complication after EVAR. Some types are associated with ongoing risk of aneurysm rupture and necessitate long-term surveillance secondary interventions. Purpose This document, as all CIRSE Standards Practice documents, will recommend a reasonable approach to best practices managing endoleaks. include imaging diagnosis, surveillance, indications for intervention, endovascular treatments their outcomes. Our purpose is provide...
Over recent years the professional role of radiologist has been evolved due to increasing involvement in clinical management patient. Radiologists have thus increasingly charged by new duties and liabilities, exposing them higher risks legal claims made against them. Malpractice lawsuits radiology are commonly related inappropriate medical care or poor physician-patient relationship. In present paper, we provide overview basic principles malpractice law main issues causes actions diagnostic...
To report technical success, safety profile and oncological results of balloon-occluded transcatheter arterial chemoembolization using a balloon micro-catheter epirubicin-loaded polyethylene-glycol (PEG) microsphere (100 ± 25 µm 200 50 µm) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This is single-centre, single-arm, retrospective study 6-month follow-up. Twenty-two (Child–Pugh A 68% [15/22], B 32% [7/22]; age 67.05 14 years) 29 HCC were treated 24 procedures. Technical success defined:...
Abstract Background To compare oncological results and safety profile of balloon micro-catheter trans-arterial chemoembolization (b-TACE) drug-eluting-microsphere (DEM-TACE) in patients with hepatocellular-carcinoma (HCC). Methods This is a case–control, retrospective, single-center study. Between January-2015/March-2019, 149 (131 males [87.9%]) 226 HCC were treated, 22 (35 HCC; 19 [86.4%] males) b-TACE 127 DEM-TACE (191 HCC, 112 [88.2%] males). Embolization protocol was standardized...
Clinical evidence regarding radiological-endoscopic management of intrahepatic bile duct stones is currently lacking. Our aim to report our 18-year experience in combined difficult stones.From June 1994 2012, 299 symptomatic patients with were admitted institution. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC)/biliary drainage/s was performed, dilating the PTC track 10 or 16 French within 3-7 days. Afterward we carried out percutaneous cholangioscopy (PTCS) electrohydraulic lithotripsy...
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Phil liquid embolic agent in non-neurological embolization procedures. M&M: Thirty-five patients with a mean age 62.5 years underwent percutaneous using for treatment visceral arterial bleedings 20/35 (including three gluteal, one bladder, two superior mesenteric, epigastric, deep femoral, five internal iliac, four intercostal, lingual arteries), splanchnic pseudoaneurysms 11/35 hepatic, splenic, renal pancreatic bleeding metastasis 1/35...
To analyze a 12-year experience performing carotid artery stenting (CAS) with cerebral protection.In accord NASCET criteria, 672 patients underwent CAS at our hospital between November 1999 and September 2011 for de novo or postsurgical restenosis; among these, 636 (474 men; mean age 68 ± 6.8 years, range 63-85) had minimum 6-month follow-up, which qualified them this analysis. The majority of (381, 59.9%) were symptomatic; 47 staged bilateral procedures (total 683 procedures). A protection...
The aim of this paper was to compare the use two different commercially available vascular closure devices (VCD), Angioseal VIP® (St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN, USA) and StarClose SE (Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL, USA).From January 2010 2012, 347 patient underwent retrograde femoral arterial puncture for interventional procedures (angioplasty, stenting, embolization bleeding, fibrinolysis ischemia chemoembolization). Hemostasis achieved by deployment an (N.=184) or SE® (N.=163). In...
Our aim was to assess the efficacy and tolerability of drug-eluting beads-transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) in treatment hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), evaluating response after 1, 6, 12, 24 months with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) comparing European Association for study Liver (EASL) modified Response Evaluation Criteria Solid Tumors (mRECIST) criteria.We enrolled 154 patients uni- or multifocal HCC who underwent a DEB-TACE. A total 278 nodules were treated. CT...
Engaging in clinical service development is a prerequisite for Interventional Radiology (IR) to prosper as full discipline. The CIRSE Clinical Services IR Task Force conducted survey of members worldwide assess the current status their practice and identify areas requiring further support.
