Los miomas uterinos son tumores sumamente frecuentes, que afectan al 25-50% de las mujeres mayores de 30 años y son responsables del 60% de las histerectomías realizadas en los países occidentales. Los miomas pueden ser asintomáticos, pero frecuentemente causan síntomas tales como meno-metrorragia, dolor pelviano, dispareunia, trastornos urinarios y lumbalgias. Asimismo, pueden estar asociados a infertilidad. Servicio de Diagnóstico por Imágenes (R.D.G.M.) y Servicio de Ginecología (R.T.). Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires.

El aneurisma aórtico es una entidad de diagnóstico cada vez más frecuente y con unas indicaciones claras de reparación por su mala evolución en ciertos casos. El presente estudio descriptivo, de serie de casos, expone la experiencia en la utilización de endoprótesis aórticas para el tratamiento de aneurismas en 13 pacientes, intervenidos desde hace diez años en nuestro centro hospitalario. Los resultados obtenidos han sido satisfactorios, sobre todo al considerar la importante comorbilidad que presentaba la mayoría de pacientes. No se ha producido mortalidad tardía por ruptura del aneurisma ni se ha precisado conversión al procedimiento abierto en ningún caso. Pese a las limitaciones derivadas del tamaño muestral, los resultados obtenidos permiten plantear una ampliación de las indicaciones, muy restrictiva hasta ahora.

Within vascular anomalies, vascular malformations are those present at birth that grow with the patient and exhibit abnormal dilated vascular channels lined by mature endothelium. Vascular tumors, the other group of vascular anomalies, demonstrate endothelial hypercellularity. Vascular malformations are further divided into low-flow varieties (capillary, venous, and lymphatic malformations) and high-flow varieties (arteriovenous malformation and fistula).

Objectives: Upon completion of this article, the reader should be able to explain the etiologies, pathophysiology, and the diagnostic and management strategies of hemoptysis as related to bronchial artery embolization, as well as state the techniques of arteriography and embolization and the associated procedural outcomes and complications.

Arteriovenous malformations have a wide range of clinical presentations and an unfortunately unpredictable response to both nonsurgical and surgical intervention. The authors report on the surgical treatment of a 19-year-old man with a complex lower extremity arteriovenous malformation, previously unsuccessfully treated with numerous local sclerotherapy and interventional radiology embolization procedures leading to massive tissue necrosis and deep infection. The patient was definitively treated with wide excision of the necrotic tissue, coils, and arteriovenous malformation, but with preservation of the tibial nerve and vascular supply to the foot. Significant postoperative complications were prevented with the use of a novel dynamic compression device employing peristaltic pulse pneumatic compression. www.eplasty.com
The term ‘‘acute aortic syndrome’’ (AAS) refers to a spectrum of life-threatening thoracic aortic pathologies including intramural hematoma, penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer, and aortic dissection. Clinically, patients often present with characteristic aortic pain. AAS often leads to aortic rupture. Therefore, recognition of this condition, its prompt diagnosis, and timely treatment is crucial to obtain clinical success and improved overall survival. The management of AAS, however, remains a therapeutic challenge. Endovascular strategies have gained wide acceptance and now represent a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. Several studies have shown endovascular repair of varying thoracic aortic pathologies to be technically feasible with fewer complications than open surgery. In this review, the authors discuss AAS pathology and its management, with particular attention to the current role of endovascular aortic repair and its treatment.

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) have a high predilection for metastasizing to the liver and can cause severe debilitating symptoms adversely affecting quality of life. Although surgery remains the treatment of choice, many liver metastases are inoperable at presentation. Hepatic arterial embolization procedures take advantage of the arterial supply of NET metastases. The goals of these therapies are twofold: to increase overall survival by stabilizing tumor growth, and to reduce the morbidity in symptomatic patients. Patients treated with hepatic arterial embolization demonstrate longer progression-free survival and have 5-year survival rates of nearly 30%. The safety of repeat embolizations has also been proven in the setting of recurrent symptoms or progression of the disease. Despite not being curative, hepatic arterial embolization should be used in the management of NETs with liver metastases. Long-term survival is not uncommon, making aggressive palliation of symptoms an important component of treatment. Copyright © 2012 Eric Lee et al.

Introduction Nonoperative management (NOM) has become the treatment of choice for hemodynamically stable patients with blunt splenic injury. Results of outcome after NOM are predominantly based on large-volume studies from level 1 trauma centers in the United States. This study was designed to assess the results of NOM in a relatively low-volume Dutch level 1 trauma center. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 2012 February; 35(1): 76–81. Published online 2011 March 24.

Therapeutic and prophylactic inferior vena cava (IVC) filters should be placed based on currently accepted indications to prevent a fatal pulmonary embolism (PE). The protective effect of filters is offset by the potential for lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT), caval thrombosis, and possible otherwise unnecessary life-long anticoagulation (AC). The duration of treatment for most DVTs or PEs is 3 to 6 months of AC/filter. Filters should be retrieved when duration of treatment for a DVT/PE has been met, the risk of a PE is no longer high, and/or there is no longer a contraindication to AC.

In previous studies on the effect of renal stenting on arterial hypertension, patients were selected mainly on the basis of angiographic parameters of the renal artery stenosis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether translesional pressure gradients could identify the patients with renal artery stenosis who might benefit from stenting.

Interventional radiologists employ a wide variety of drugs on a daily basis to improve patient experiences and outcomes during interventional procedures. The expectation is for the interventionalist to be well-versed in all pharmaceuticals used in the interventional suite. In this article, the authors review the following classes of common miscellaneous pharmaceutical agents used in interventional radiology: vasodilators, vasoconstrictors, antiemetics, bowel antiperistalsis agents, and prothrombotics.
