Percutaneous renal biopsy with sonographic guidance is the standard by which renal tissue is sampled. In patients with uncorrectable coagulopathy or other contra-indication, percutaneous biopsy may not be feasible and a transvenous approach is preferred. This method limits the risk of bleeding complications as tissue is obtained endovascularly without transgression of the renal capsule. Arterio...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness of percutaneous transarterial embolization for the treatment of renal arterial bleeding in patients with renovascular injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS The archives of our angiography suite were retrospectively reviewed, and 15 patients who had undergone renal embolization due to renal artery bleeding were included in the study. The site, number, and type of ...

Liver cirrhosis fatty liver predispose normal tissues fibrosis leading cancer. Excessive alcohol intake results inflammation proceeding ultimately carcinoma. Hepatocellular ...

INTRODUCTION Percutaneous transhepatic portal embolization is often performed to expand the indications for hepatic resection. Various etiologies of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm have been reported, but regardless of the etiology, hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is usually managed with an endovascular approach or open surgery, depending on the location and clinical symptomatology. However, it is ...

INTRODUCTION Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) represents a safe and efficient procedure in the surgical management of renal lithiasis. Nevertheless, surgeons have to face specific complications during and after the procedure, hemorrhage being one of the most common. In most cases the injuries are self-limited and do not need a surgical intervention. Renal arteriography with selective angiogr...

Type II endoleak (T2E) leading to aneurysm sac enlargement is one of the challenging complications associated with endovascular aneurysm repair. Recent guidelines recommend embolization of T2E associated with aneurysmal sac enlargement. Various percutaneous and endovascular techniques have been reported for embolization of T2E. We report a novel technique for T2E embolization combining laparosc...

Soft tissue tumors (STTs) include a range of benign and malignant originating from soft tissues. Transarterial percutaneous therapies are image-guided minimally invasive approaches for managing primary metastatic STTs. The objective this review is to discuss transarterial by examining the current literature, including indications, patient selection, safety, effectiveness. (e.g., bland embolizat...

Three infants with vein of Galen malformations, all presenting with congestive heart failure, underwent a total of five embolization procedures that employed a percutaneous transfemoral venous approach to catheterize the vein of Galen. In one instance, direct retrograde catheterization of feeding arterial pedicles to the vein of Galen and embolization of the fistulous connections was achieved v...

To The ediTor: It was with great interest that we read the article by Wang et al, “Sequential Transarterial Embolization Followed by Percutaneous Vertebroplasty Is Safe and Effective in Pain Management in Vertebral Metastases,” published in the 2016 May/June issue of Pain Physician (1). This is a well-designed retrospective article which demonstrates that sequential therapy of transarterial emb...

introduction percutaneous nephrolithotomy (pcnl) is a standard, safe, and efficient method for removing large renal calculi. despite development of endourologic equipment, complications of the pcnl are still prevalent. even though therapeutic modalities such as mini-micro pcnl have been developed in recent years, the complications are a serious concern yet. the most important complication is he...
