To investigate the predictive factors for complete response (CR) and recurrence after CR in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated transarterial chemoembolization (TACE).Among 691 newly diagnosed HCC patients, 287 were TACE as a first therapy. We analyzed CR, overall survival (OS).Eighty-one (28.2%) achieved TACE, was detected 35 (43.2%). In multivariate analyses, tumor size (≤5 cm) single nodularity hazard ratios (HRs) of 0.35 (p=0.002) 0.41 (p<0.001), respectively. Elevated...
This study examined correlations between radon, thoron and progeny concentrations based on surveys conducted in several different countries. For this purpose, passive detectors developed or modified by the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS) were used. Radon measured using discriminative radon-thoron detectors. Thoron measurements NIRS-modified detector, originally Zhuo Iida. Weak found radon as well progeny. The statistical evaluation showed that attention should be paid to...
Abstract Aims: Sorafenib is the only systemic treatment shown to be effective against advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) has been selected as an alternative therapeutic option for HCC. We investigated efficacy and safety of HAIC sorafenib in Methods: Between May 2008 March 2011, 20 consecutive patients were treated with monotherapy a first‐line 21 who could not take because cost alternative. was administered 400 mg b.i.d. doses. For HAIC,...
The objective of our study was to evaluate early therapeutic response after cytotoxic chemotherapy in patients with liver metastasis from colorectal cancer (CRC) using intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) DWI and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI).Nineteen CRC underwent DCE-MRI IVIM at baseline the first cycle chemotherapy. parameters including apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), true (D), pseudodiffusion (D*), perfusion fraction (f) volume transfer constant (K(trans)), reverse (Kep),...
Abstract We investigated the usefulness of quantitative 99m Tc-white blood cell (WBC) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed (CT) for predicting lower extremity amputation in diabetic foot infection (DFI). A total 93 feet 83 consecutive patients with DFI who underwent WBC SPECT/CT treatment planning were retrospectively analysed. The clinical and parameters collected along measurements maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) at DFI. Statistical logistic regression...

Jejunal Variceal Bleeding Successfully Treated with Percutaneous Coil EmbolizationA 52-yr-old male alcoholic liver cirrhosis was hospitalized for hematochezia.He had undergone small-bowel resection due to trauma 15 yr previously.Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed grade 1 esophageal varices without bleeding.No bleeding lesion seen on colonoscopy, but capsule endoscopy suspicious from angiodysplasia in the small bowel.After 2 weeks of conservative treatment, hematochezia stopped.However, week...
AIM:To determine the correlation between hepatic venous pressure gradient and endoscopic grade of esophageal varices. METHODS:From September 2009 to March 2013, a total 176 measurements (HVPG) were done in 146 patients.Each transjugular HVPG was measured twice, first using an end whole catheter (EH-HVPG), then balloon (B-HVPG).The compared with varices (according general rules for recording findings esophagogastric varices), which recorded within month measurement HVPG.
Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is performed for single hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that are not eligible surgery or ablation therapy. We investigated the clinical outcomes of patients with a HCC ≤ 5 cm treated TACE.This study analyzed 175 consecutive who underwent TACE as an initial treatment cm. Predictive factors complete response (CR), recurrence after CR, and overall survival (OS) were evaluated.Total 119 (68%) achieved CR TACE. Tumor size < 3 hepatitis B virus infection...
Background/Aims: The hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) reflects portal hypertension, but its measurement is invasive. Transient elastography (TE) a noninvasive method for evaluating liver stiffness (LS). We investigated the correlation between value of LS, LS to platelet ratio (LPR), LS-spleen diameter-to-platelet score (LSPS) and HVPG according etiology cirrhosis, especially focused on alcoholic cirrhosis.Methods: Between January 2008 March 2017, 556 patients who underwent TE were...
Purpose Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a feasible option for morbid obesity. But gastric leak one of the most dreadful complications. We report our experience staple line leak, which was managed successfully with vascular plug and covered stent. Methods A occurred after LSG. Followed attempts reoperation, drainage procedures abscess cavity, repeated endoscopic treatments were all unavailing. Finally, placed at fistula tract consequent stent placement could propose solution. Results...
Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety percutaneous thromboaspiration with a 7F Desilets-Hoffman sheath compared previously established mechanical thrombectomy techniques in occluded hemodialysis grafts. Materials Methods One thousand three hundred five patients (767 women, 538 men; mean age, 61.04±13.09 years; graft 36.64±30.80 mo) 2,531 episodes thrombosis underwent using criss-cross or apex puncture technique. Technical success rate,...
The predictive role of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) before performing transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) has not been determined. We assessed the possible factors CEUS for response to TACE.Seventeen patients with 18 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) underwent TACE. All tumors were studied TACE using a second-generation ultrasound contrast agent (SonoVue®, Bracco, Milan, Italy). tumor was classified score between 1 and 4 according remaining enhancing-tumor percentage based on...
A 46-year-old Vietnamese woman received embolization therapy in order to control postpartum hemorrhage. Angiography revealed an aberrant ovarian artery arising from the right common iliac artery. Superselective catheterization and subsequent of bilateral uterine arteries were performed. Precise knowledge anatomic variations is important for successful embolization.
We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Fogarty balloon application in dislodging residual thrombus at sheath entry point a graft by using single apex puncture declot thrombosed hemodialysis loop grafts.The technique was used 520 cases 376 grafts (male/female, 150/226; mean age, 58 years). The technique, which uses apex, compress or displace that did not wash away spontaneously arterial . frequency use technical success, complications, and primary patency were evaluated.Sheath thrombi...
Hemorrhagic pseudocysts with pseudoaneurysms are a rare and fatal complication of chronic pancreatitis due to the erosion pancreatic peripancreatic arteries. The timing rupture cannot be accurately predicted, but prompt diagnosis management essential prevent further bleeding. We describe case 68-year-old man who presented acute epigastric pain anemia had history pseudocyst. A biliary pancreas MRI showed an enlarged size known pseudocyst internal high signal intensity material. Color-Doppler...
