Neutron activation of holmium poly(L-lactic acid) microspheres for hepatic arterial radioembolization: a validation study
Poly(L-lactic acid) microspheres loaded with holmium-166 acetylacetonate (166Ho-PLLA-MS) are a novel microdevice for intra-arterial radio-embolization in patients with unresectable liver malignancies. The neutron activation in a nuclear reactor, in particular the gamma heating, damages the 166Ho-PLLA-MS. The degree of damage is dependent on the irradiation characteristics and irradiation time i...
متن کاملTranscatheter Arterial Embolization Alone for Giant Hepatic Hemangioma
Giant hepatic hemangioma is a benign liver condition that may be treated using surgery. We studied the digital subtraction angiographic (DSA) characteristics of giant hepatic hemangioma, and the effectiveness of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) alone for its treatment. This was a retrospective study of 27 patients diagnosed with giant hepatic hemangioma and treated with TAE alone (usin...
متن کاملDelayed hepatic rupture after radiofrequency ablation for colorectal hepatic metastasis: management with transcatheter arterial embolization
Intraperitoneal bleeding after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is the most common major vascular complication due to direct needle injury to a vessel or liver capsule. However, intraperitoneal bleeding as a result of a delayed hepatic rupture after RFA for liver tumors is an extremely rare complication. The present report describes a case of intraperitoneal hemorrhage caused by delayed hepatic ru...
متن کاملTranscatheter arterial embolization of hepatic arteriovenous shunts in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
Most hepatic arteriovenous shunts (HAVS) associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occur with advanced stage liver cancer, and these patients typically have a dismal prognosis. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) in this population carries significant risk. Therefore, proper patient selection is critical to determine which patients may benefit from TAE. The Child-Pugh score should be...
متن کاملTranscatheter Arterial Coil Embolization of Ruptured Common Hepatic Artery Aneurysm in a Patient with Behçet's Disease
Hepatic artery aneurysm is a rare and potentially life-threatening entity. We report a case of ruptured common hepatic artery aneurysm in a patient with Behçet's disease. The ruptured aneurysm was treated successfully with transcatheter arterial coil embolization. Transcatheter arterial embolization is the preferred treatment modality in patients at high risk of surgical intervention.
