This study sought to compare the most frequently used embolic particles in an animal model. In 16 New Zealand white rabbits,
right renal arteries were embolized using four different embolic particles (polyvinyl alcohol [PVA] particles, 150–250 μm;
PVA microspheres [PVAMs], 150–300 μm; Tris-acryl gelatin microspheres [TGMs], 100–300 μm; expanding microspheres [EXMs], 50–100 μm).
Quantity of embolic material used, embolization time, and angiographic patterns were documented. Fourteen days later, a control
angiography was done to document angiographic recanalization and all animals were sac...

What Does Competence Entail in Interventional Radiology?Email this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Interventional radiology is a relatively new speciality and may be referred to as “image-guided surgery without a scalpel.”
Training and accreditation bodies regard interventional radiology training as being “different” from general radiology because
of the additional need for dexterity and clinical acumen. Due to the multidimensional role of an interventional radiologist,
a practitioner in this discipline must have a number of the competencies of anesthetists, surgeons, and radiologists. The
attributes required of an interventional radiologist are akin to those required of a surgeon. This p...

Discuss or comment on this article.
In conclusion, the AVP 4 seems to be safe and effective for occluding peripheral vessels
and vascular abnormalities. Because of its compatibility with 0.038–in. catheters, it can be deployed through a diagnostic
catheter following angiography without exchanging a sheath or guiding catheter. Compared with the previous generation of vascular
plugs, the AVP 4 allows for faster procedure times and decreased exposure to radiation.

In conclusion, CAS can be performed safely and effectively, with acceptable

devices), perioperative pharmacological management, and increasing experience are all clinically significant factors influencing
the short-term results, none appeared to be statistically significant in this patient sample.

Abstract Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) offers a survival benefit to patients with intermediate hepatocellular carcinoma

TACE. Recently, a drug-eluting bead (DC Bead®) has been developed to enhance tumor drug delivery and reduce systemic availability. This randomized trial compares conventional
TACE (cTACE) with TACE with DC Bead for the treatment of cirrhotic patients with HCC. Two hundred twelve patients with Child-Pugh

Abstract A 47-year-old man presented with multiple lung metastases from parathyroid carcinoma that caused hyperparathyroidism and refractory

In conclusion, MRI is superior to MDCT for detection of viable tumor residuals after

Abstract Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is generally considered to be the gold standard in distinguishing unilateral and bilateral aldosterone
hypersecretion in primary hyperaldosteronism. However, during AVS, we noticed a considerable variability in aldosterone concentrations
among samples thought to have come from the right adrenal glands. Some aldosterone concentrations in these samples were even
lower than in samples from the inferior vena cava. We hypothesized that the samples with low aldosterone levels were unintentionally
taken not from the right adrenal gland, but from hepatic veins. Therefore, we so...

Discuss or comment on this article.
We report a case of thoracic discitis occurring in
a patient with advanced esophageal malignancy, treated with SEMSs. We propose that the likely etiology in this patient was
esophageal perforation by a metallic stent.

Double-Layered PTFE-Covered Nitinol Stents: Experience in 32 Patients with Malignant Esophageal StricturesEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract We evaluated the effectiveness of a double-layered polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered nitinol stent in the palliative
treatment of malignant esophageal strictures. A double-layered PTFE-covered nitinol stent was designed to reduce the propensity
to migration of conventional covered stent. The stent consists of an inner PTFE-covered stent and an outer uncovered nitinol
stent tube. With fluoroscopic guidance, the stent was placed in 32 consecutive patients with malignant esophageal strictures.
During the follow-up period, the technical and clinical success rates, complications, and cumulative pati...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract An active 38-year-old patient presenting a vertebral compression fracture associated with a pelvic fracture was treated in
one stage with CT-guided fixation of the sacrum and kyphoplasty. This treatment decreased the pain, restored the vertebral
height, and enabled the patient to be ambulatory. The main advantage of this double approach was to shorten the hospital stay
and the nonworking period.

Central Vein Dilatation Prior to Concomitant Port ImplantationEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
We present a technique for recanalization of central
venous occlusion and angioplasty combined with port placement in a single intervention which we performed in two patients.
Surgical port placement was impossible owing to occlusion of the superior vena cava following placement of a cardiac pacemaker
and occlusion of multiple central veins due to paraneoplastic coagulopathy, respectively. In both cases the affected vessel
segments were dilated with balloon catheters and the port systems were placed thereafter. After successful dilatation, the
venous access was secured with a 25-cm-long, 8-Fr introducer sheath, a subc...

Abstract The lumbar spine is a less common location for chordoma. Here we describe a 44-year-old woman presenting with pain due to
a L4 vertebral expansile lesion that caused significant canal stenosis and neural foraminal compromise. Vertebroplasty was
performed and resulted in immediate pain relief. For patients with painful lumbar chordoma who are unwilling to undergo surgery,
vertebroplasty can play a palliative role as in patients with other vertebral lesions. Treating pain and stabilizing vertebra
by way of vertebroplasty in a case of chordoma has not yet been reported.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Tunneled hemodialysis catheters become essential in dialysis access when there is no possibility of using a functioning arteriovenous
fistula. Collateral or occluded veins visible on ultrasound are used for puncture and passage of catheters into the central
venous system. Chronically occluded veins are crossed with guidewires to allow dilatation and subsequent passage of hemodialysis
catheters. We performed a retrospective analysis of patient demographics, comorbidities, procedural complications, functional
survival, performance, and history of previous vascular access. The study group was compared ...

In conclusion,
endovascular treatment of iliac artery occlusion has a high technical success rate with favorable long-term patency rate.

In conclusion, new or recurrent VTE was rare after retrieval of IVC filters but was most likely to occur in patients

We must point out that the fatality rate from PE after filter removal was high (2.6%).
