OBJECTIVE. We compared survival outcomes in 313 patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with two different transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) regimens: triple-drug TACE or single-drug TACE using drug-eluting beads.
Background: Abdominal interventions are usually contraindicated in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension because of increased morbidity and mortality. Decreasing portal pressure with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) may improve patient outcomes. We report our experience with patients treated by neoadjuvant TIPS to identify those who would most benefit from this two-step procedure.
Purpose: To address the feasibility of prophylactic temporary occlusion of the cystic artery using a detachable coil during 90Y radioembolization.
Purpose: To evaluate the differences of technique between coil embolization for short abdominal arterial segments with only proximal balloon inflation and combined proximal and distal balloon inflation, as well as the volume embolization ratio (VER) and the ratio of the first coil diameter to the target vessel diameter (first coil diameter ratio).
Purpose: To determine the size of pulmonary artery (PA) at risk for occlusion during percutaneous microwave ablation and to assess the effect of vessel diameter, number, and patency, on ablation zone volume.
Purpose: To compare ablation boundary sharpness after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA), cryoablation (CA), microwave ablation (MWA) and irreversible electroporation (IRE) ablation in normal swine liver and kidney.
Purpose: To compare technical success, clinical success, complications, radiation dose, and total room utilization time for osteoid osteoma thermal (radiofrequency or microwave) ablation using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with two-axis fluoroscopic navigational overlay versus conventional computed tomography (CT) guidance.
Purpose: To develop a model to predict successful bilirubin decrease following percutaneous biliary drain placement.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the EGIS esophageal stent for treating malignant and benign esophageal strictures.
Purpose: To identify the more accurate reference data sets for fusion imaging-guided radiofrequency ablation or biopsy of hepatic lesions between computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) images.
Purpose: To investigate the impact of the first transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and identify predictors for low HRQoL following TACE.
Purpose: A single-incision technique for tunneled central venous access has been described. This study evaluates whether single-incision technique in children is comparable to the conventional method, with regard to procedure time, fluoroscopy time, and complication rate.
Introduction: Surgical creation of a radiocephalic fistula is the gold standard of vascular access for hemodialysis. Recently, an endovascular approach for upper arm fistula creation (endoAVF) has been developed, which may be an alternative to open surgery. We describe a case series of eight cases showing feasibility, early complications and outcome of this novel treatment option.
Objectives: Based on a novel paclitaxel–resveratrol drug matrix, the safety and efficacy to inhibit intimal hyperplasia were studied in symptomatic claudicants with morphologically challenging lesions.
Purpose: Postcoarctation thoracic aortic aneurysm formation is one of the most serious complications for coarctation of aorta. Open surgery to repair these aneurysms is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Endovascular therapy is an attractive alternative to open surgery. We have studied the efficacy and safety of endovascular therapy for postcoarctation thoracic aortic aneurysms, and will share our findings and experience through this document.
