Treatment of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in patients with liver cirrhosis is not well established.We intended to assess the safety and efficacy low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) treat PVT cirrhotic patients.All 39 diagnosed non-neoplastic from June 2005 December 2006 were evaluated for anticoagulation therapy (AT). was occludent 15.4%, partial 64.1%, cavernoma presented 20.5%. Twenty-eight received 200 U/kg/d enoxaparin at least 6 months. In 39.3% an occasional finding, 10.7% acute...
Splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT), not associated with cancer or liver cirrhosis, is a rare event and scanty data are available on its natural history, long-term prognosis, treatment. In this study 121 SVT patients consecutively seen from January 1998 to December 2005 were included 95 of them followed up for median time 41 months. Screening thrombophilic factors was performed in 104 patients. New thrombotic bleeding episodes registered anticoagulant therapy according preestablished...
To compare in a randomized and prospective fashion the outcome of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation either after one procedure or two procedures using Carto-XP vs. Carto-Merge mapping system different AF populations. Two hundred ninety-nine patients with paroxysmal persistent were enrolled study. One fifty randomly assigned to group 149 group. The underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) left atrium (LA) day before ablation. scheme included electrical disconnection pulmonary veins plus...
Advancing medical technology revolutionizes our ability to diagnose various disease processes. Conventional Single-Energy Computed Tomography (SECT) has multiple inherent limitations for providing definite diagnoses in certain clinical contexts. Dual-Energy (DECT) been use since 2006 and constantly evolved applications assist radiologists reaching SECT is rather unable identify. DECT may also complement the role of by supporting confidently make clinically challenging scenarios. In this...
Body packing represents the concealment of illegal substances in a person's body with aim smuggling. "Body packers" either swallow drug-filled packets or introduce into their bodies rectally vaginally purpose concealing them. The three main smuggled drugs are cocaine, heroin and cannabis products. serious risk acute narcotic toxicity from drug exposure, intestinal obstruction owing to pellet impaction bowel perforation consequent abdominal sepsis. A suspected packer is generally admitted...
Background: Liver metastases are a leading cause of cancer-associated deaths in patients affected by colorectal cancer (CRC). The multidisciplinary strategy to treat CRC is more effective when the radiological diagnosis accurate and early. Despite evolving technologies accuracy, Colorectal Cancer Metastases (CRCLM) still key point. aim our study was define new patient representation different Artificial Intelligence models, using Formal Methods (FMs), help clinicians predict presence liver...
Computed tomography (CT) is the imaging method of choice in assessment multiple trauma patients. However, patients who suffered from low-energy abdominal trauma, use CT controversial, since probability injury low and therefore most studies are normal. Thus, conventional US has increasingly been employed as initial modality work-up minor traumatic emergency condition. More recently, introduction a new contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) technique, using second-generation contrast agents, led...
Abstract Background Although some national recommendations for the role of radiology in a polytrauma service exist, there are no European guidelines to date. Additionally, many interdisciplinary guidelines, tends be under-represented. These factors motivated Society Emergency Radiology (ESER) develop radiologically-centred guidelines. Results Evidence-based decisions were made on 68 individual aspects imaging at two ESER consensus conferences. For severely injured patients, whole-body CT...
To develop a structured reporting (SR) template for whole-body CT examinations of polytrauma patients, based on the consensus panel emergency radiology experts from Italian Society Medical and Interventional Radiology.A multi-round Delphi method was used to quantify inter-panelist agreement all SR sections. Internal consistency each section quality analysis in terms average inter-item correlation were evaluated by means Cronbach's alpha (Cα) coefficient.The final form included 118 items (6...
Objectives Splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT) affects the short-term prognosis of acute variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patients. This study evaluated whether SVT also rebleeding rate patients included a program secondary prophylaxis after bleeding. Patients and methods A total 387 with were from January 2001 to December 2010. Band ligation was carried out every 3–4 weeks. Follow-up endoscopy at 1, 3, 6 months, Echo-Doppler, biochemical examination months. From 2005, received anticoagulation...
Abstract Purpose To retrospectively characterize the prevalence and impact of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) as a guidance technique for biopsy liver target lesions (LTLs) at six interventional centers. Materials Methods The participating centers selected all patients in whom needles were positioned LTLs during CEUS. CEUS-guided biopsies each center between 2005 2016, contrast agent consumption, procedure indications, diagnostic yield complications assessed. Informed consent was...
