Ruptured blood blister-like aneurysms (BBAs) of the internal carotid artery (ICA) are rare but carry a high rate morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, BBAs very difficult to treat surgically as well endovascularly. The authors present their experience in treating with reconstructive endovascular methods.Nine ruptured 9 consecutive patients (2 men 7 women; mean age 50 years, range 42-57 years) were treated using methods between January 2006 November 2007. Treatment angiographic clinical...
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy of thyroid nodules is minimally invasive and safe usually performed on an outpatient basis. However, the optimal application FNA requires not only technical skill but also awareness limitations procedure, indications for its use, factors that affect adequacy specimen, postprocedural management strategy. Ultrasonographic (US) features are considered include single multiple nodules. The results operator dependent. In addition, may be affected by lesion...
The incidence and risk factors for recurrence after endovascular treatment of intracranial vertebrobasilar dissecting aneurysms (VBDAs) have not been studied. We aimed to evaluate the VBDAs.A total 111 patients (mean age, 45±10 years) underwent 119 VBDAs (ruptured/unruptured=73:46). Incidence were retrospectively evaluated.Sixty-two treated by a reconstructive technique using 1 3 overlapping stents with or without coiling, 57 deconstructive proximal occlusion internal trapping at dissected...
✓Ruptured blood blister–like aneurysms (BBAs) of the internal carotid artery (ICA) are potentially dangerous lesions because high risk intraoperative bleeding associated with their wide fragile neck. The authors discuss cases in which BBAs were treated endovascularly during chronic stage and report a case ruptured BBA ICA was successfully acute phase stent-assisted coil embolization subsequent stent-within-a-stent procedure.
A ruptured dissecting aneurysm of the vertebrobasilar artery (VBA-DA) is a well-known cause acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) with high rate early rebleeding. Internal trapping parent artery, including dissected segment, one most reliable techniques to prevent However, for VBA-DA not suitable internal trapping, optimal treatment method has been well established. The authors describe their experience in treating VBA-DAs amenable stent-assisted coil embolization (SAC) followed by...
Objective The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the efficacy sonographically guided core needle biopsy (core biopsy) for diagnosing causes cervical lymphadenopathy in patients without known malignancy. Methods One hundred fifty-five biopsies performed 155 with were evaluated. None had any primary Final diagnoses determined by histologic examination from excision when or clinical and sonographic follow-up more than 12 months. When a lymph node diagnosed as benign regressed...
This study aims to evaluate clinical outcomes of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) using drug-eluting beads (DEB).This retrospectively compared the 250 consecutive DEB-TACE (n = 106) or conventional TACE (cTACE) 144) in a tertiary center between January 2010 and April 2014. The median age was 62 years 81.6% were men. primary endpoint overall survival (OS). time progression (TTP), radiological response rate modified evaluation criteria...
To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and clinical outcomes of plug-assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration (PARTO) to treat gastric variceal hemorrhage in patients with portal hypertension.From May 2012 June 2014, 19 (11 men 8 women, median age; 61, history hemorrhage; 17, active bleeding; 2) who underwent PARTO using a vascular plug gelfoam pledget were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical laboratory data examined primary (technical success, complications) secondary (worsening esophageal...
Abstract Background and Aim Both balloon‐occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) are considered effective treatments for gastric variceal bleeding (GVB). In this study, outcomes of these two procedures were compared in managing patients with GVB. Methods A total 142 undergoing BRTO ( n = 95) or TIPS 47) between 2005 2012 at tertiary centers selected retrospective review. Results Mean patient age (male, 115; female, 27) was 58.1...
Purpose The purpose of this work was to determine the diagnostic accuracy MRI for differentiation mucinous and nonmucinous carcinomas in patients with rectal carcinomas. Method Seventy-six pathologically proven adenocarcinomas were evaluated MRI. Both T2-weighted fast spin echo T1-weighted images independently reviewed by two radiologists who blinded tumor histology. Of 76 cases, mucin pools found 28 (37%), 16 had a pool occupying ≥50% (mucinous carcinoma). sensitivity, specificity,...
PURPOSE: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance (MR) cholangiography in detection common bile duct (CBD) stones patients with symptomatic gallstones. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Single-shot half-Fourier MR cholangiographic images were obtained 121 consecutive who referred for prior to cholecystectomy One radiologist interpreted without knowledge laboratory test results or findings from examinations other imaging modalities. Patients retrospectively divided into three groups...
Since the International Subarachnoid Aneurysmal Trial, endovascular coiling has been increasingly used as primary treatment option for ruptured or unruptured aneurysms that are feasible coiling.To evaluate feasibility and clinical angiographic outcomes of middle cerebral artery aneurysms.The records 70 consecutive patients with 76 who underwent were retrospectively evaluated.Thirty-one treated by single-catheter, 18 multicatheter, 11 balloon-assisted, 13 stent-assisted, 3 a combination...
Imaging features and clinical characteristics of degenerated leiomyoma in patients referred for uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) were analyzed to assess the incidence leiomyoma.Patients UFE between 2008 2009 retrospectively (n=276). Patients ranged age from 27 51 years (mean 38.0 years). All underwent screening MRI with contrast enhancement. Medical histories symptoms evaluated.Among 276 who MRI, 14 (5.1%) showed leiomyomas. Symptoms abdominal pain (n=4, 26.7%), menorrhagia (n=5, 35.7%)...
