Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a well accepted and a relatively safe procedure, however certain rare and serious complications may occur during or after the procedure with profound morbidity and mortality. Only a few cases have been reported describing cerebral embolization during the procedure. We are reporting a case in which cerebral lipiodal embolization occurred in the second se...

conclusions the present case appears to offer a safe and relatively simple method of balloon dilatation inside the lumen of the embolized fragment when the foreign body is too distal to retrieve with conventional snare systems. introduction increasing numbers of complex percutaneous coronary interventions have been accompanied by various intra-procedural complications. the fracture and emboliza...

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a rare disease with rising incidence. While surgical resection the only curative option, process often identified in advanced stages, as this malignancy remains clinically silent early development. Only one-third of patients are eligible for at time diagnosis. For who cannot undergo resection, intra-arterial therapies reasonable palliative treatment opti...

When standard transarterial or transvenous interventional techniques failed to provide access to treat an indirect carotid cavernous fistula, we used sonographically guided direct percutaneous access through the facial vein to successfully embolize a lesion.

Treatment options for intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) include direct surgery, endovascular treatment, including transarterial and/or transvenous embolization, radiosurgery and combinations of these treatments4,7). To achieve a complete cure and to eliminate neurological complications, the arteriovenous shunt must be completely closed during every treatment procedure, and norma...

BACKGROUND When a major hepatic resection is necessary, sometimes the future liver remnant is not enough to maintain sufficient liver function and patients are more likely to develop liver failure after surgery. AIM To test the hypothesis that performing a percutaneous radiofrecuency liver partition plus percutaneous portal vein embolization (PRALPPS) for stage hepatectomy in pigs is feasible...

BACKGROUND Renal vascular injury may be secondary to blunt or penetrating trauma, iatrogenic injuries or spontaneously with or without underlying pathology. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of transarterial embolization (TAE) for the treatment of iatrogenic renovascular injuries (IRVIs). PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-six patients (27 males, 9 females, aged 14-79 years) wi...

A 21-year-old male presented to our hospital for life-threatening pelvic fracture, mandating emergent transarterial embolization of the right internal pudendal artery. At five-month post-injury, penile arterial flow was severely impaired, thus revascularization surgery were planned, before attempting urethroplasty a 2-cm gap in posterior urethra. However, reevaluation angiography results obtain...

Embolization of the occlusion device after percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) is a potential disastrous complication. The usual site of embolization is the right side of the heart including pulmonary artery, but the device embolization to the extracardiac aorta is extremely rare. Here, we report a successful percutaneous retrieval case of the embolized Amplatzer Septal Occluder ...

AIM Most dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) can be treated safely and effectively with endovascular Onyx embolization. Balloon-assisted endovascular Onyx embolization of intracranial DAVFs is especially suitable for arterial protection and arterial flow reduction in complicated DAVFs. We systemically report our experience in the use of arterial balloon for Onyx embolization of DAVF and evalua...
