Purpose To assess predictors of outcome after prostate artery embolization (PAE) for benign prostatic hyperplasia with spherical particle polyvinyl alcohol (sPVA) and compare outcomes the use nonspherical (nsPVA). Materials Methods This was a single-center retrospective institutional review board-approved study conducted from 2009 to 2015 in patients undergoing PAE sPVA (n = 186; mean age ± standard deviation, 65.5 years 7.7) nsPVA 300; age, 65.3 7.6). The two cohorts were compared analyzed...
Background In patients with liver cancer, portal vein embolization (PVE) is recommended to promote growth before major hepatectomies. However, the optimal strategy has not been established. Purpose To compare regeneration as seen at CT in participants hepatectomies, N-butyl-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) plus iodized oil versus standard polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles coils, for PVE. Materials and Methods this single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial (Best Future Liver Remnant, or...
Purpose To determine pregnancy rates after conventional and partial uterine fibroid embolization (UFE). Materials Methods The study received institutional review board approval all patients gave written informed consent. A retrospective analysis of data collected prospectively was performed between June 2004 2014 in a cohort 359 women (mean age, 35.9 years ± 4.8) with fibroids and/or adenomyosis who were unable to conceive. median follow-up period 69 months (range, 6-126 months). Under local...
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transarterial chemoembolization with polyethylene glycol (PEG) drug-eluting embolic agents in treatment hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).A single-center retrospective study 302 patients (258 men; 85.4%) HCC treated during a 20-month period was conducted. The mean patient age 66 years ± 10; 142 (47%) had Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage A disease 134 (44.4%) B disease; 174 (57.6%) single tumor, 65 (21.5%) 2, 62 (20.9%) 3 or more. Mean index tumor size...
Cystic artery pseudoaneurysm (CAP) is a rare entity most often resulting from inflammatory conditions (acute cholecystitis or pancreatitis) iatrogenic trauma (cholecystectomy). We report the case of 73-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain and gastrointestinal bleeding after an episode acute endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for choledocolithiasis removal. Computed tomography angiography revealed CAP measuring 5 cm. A right hepatic transcatheter embolization was...
Objectives . Portal vein embolization (PVE) stimulates hypertrophy of the future liver remnant (FLR) and improves safety extended hepatectomy. This study evaluated efficacy PVE, performed with PVA coils, in relation to its effect on FLR volume ratio. Secondary endpoints were assessment PVE complications, accomplishment surgery, patient outcome after Materials Methods All patients who underwent before planned major hepatectomy between 2013 2017 retrospectively analyzed, comprising a total 64...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Cryptogenic stroke is present in about 40% of ischemic patients. Extracardiac shunt related to pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) could be a rare potential risk factor for embolic stroke. Most PAVFs are multiple, congenital, and associated with hereditary conditions. On the other hand, isolated conditions an uncommon cause cryptogenic stoke. <b><i>Case Report:</i></b> We describe case young woman without history...
