CIRSE Standards of Practice on Carotid Artery Stenting
AbstractBackgroundCarotid artery stenting has been used effectively to treat internal carotid artery stenosis since 1989 (Mathias et al. in World J Surg. 25(3):328-34, 2001), with refined and expanded techniques and tools presently delivering outstanding results in percutaneous endoluminal treatment of carotid artery stenosis.PurposeThis CIRSE Standards of Practice document is directed at interventional radiologists and details the guidelines for carotid artery stenting, as well as the different implementation techniques. In addition to updating all previously published material on the different clinical indications, it wi...

Adding Short to Left Gastric Artery Embolization for the Treatment of Obesity: Safety and Effectiveness
ConclusionCombined SGA and LGA embolization is safe and effective to treat obesity. Larger studies are needed to determine whether SGA  + LGA embolization results in more significant weight loss than LGA embolization alone.Graphical Abstract (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)

Do Balloon Catheters have a Different Radial Force Along Their Longitudinal Axis?
ConclusionThe radial force is greater at both ends of the balloon than at the central portion, especially at the distal end. Dilation using the distal end of the balloon catheter is a practical method that can be applied in clinical practice without additional devices when encountering resistant stenosis, especially with semi-compliant balloons.Graphical Abstract (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)

Radiofrequency Ablation of Parathyroid Adenoma: Results of a Retrospective Analysis of 60 Patients
ConclusionOur study showed that RFA with the alternative technique, called “Nik jet dissection” is a safe and effective modality in management of PTA. Therefore, we suggest expanding the indications for RFA in PTA management, especially when surgery is not feasible.Level of EvidenceLevel 3, Local non-random sample.Graphical Abstract (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)
