Seven patients with proptosis, chemosis, diplopia, and elevated intraocular pressure were found to have dural arteriovenous malformations with drainage into the cavernous sinus and superior ophthalmic vein. These patients had sufficient symptoms to justify therapeutic embolization with polyvinyl alcohol. Five of seven patients had complete resolution of their ophthalmic symptoms after embolizat...

INTRODUCTION Postoperative small bowel or colic anastomotic bleeding (PSCAB) is often a mild complication and is generally treated by a conservative approach. Other therapeutic options are surgery, endoscopic management and angiographic embolization. Our aim is to review our cases of postoperative anastomotic bleeding in patients with small bowel or colic anastomosis, with special attention to ...

Introduction: Nowadays, we are witnessing an exponential use of interventional radiology techniques in different communities. After CT, interventional techniques are the second factor of increasing patients’ doses in different societies. Measuring patient doses from aforementioned methods has been recommended by many radiation protection professional organizations such as ICRP...

Embolization is a remarkably versatile procedure used in nearly all vascular and nonvascular systems to treat a wide range of pathology. The published literature is rich with studies demonstrating the enormous therapeutic potential offered by embolization procedures, and the possibilities continue to expand with the advent of new embolization agents and techniques. Unfortunately, with this vari...

Interstitial ectopic pregnancy is a rare condition of pregnancy and may be very dangerous if not identified and treated urgently. We report a case of successful treatment of an interstitial pregnancy using selective uterine artery embolization. A 27-year-old woman with interstitial pregnancy was treated by uterine artery embolization after failure of systemic methotrexate treatment. Her serum b...

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) consist of abnormal communications between the arteries and veins. They can involve any part body extremity grow in proportion to age response hormonal influence or trauma. When symptoms progress from Schöbinger clinical stage II III, transcatheter and/or direct puncture embolization are less-invasive repeatable options for symptom palliation. The goal is obli...

In addition to imaging the lymphatics and detecting various types of lymphatic leakage, lymphangiography is a therapeutic option for patients with chylothorax, chylous ascites, and lymphatic fistula. Percutaneous thoracic duct embolization, transabdominal catheterization of the cisterna chyli or thoracic duct, and subsequent embolization of the thoracic duct is an alternative to surgical ligati...

Abstract Background Preoperative embolization of radiographically suspected intracranial meningiomas is performed to reduce intraoperative blood loss and facilitate resection. However, there paucity evidence examining the effect as a sole intervention on tumor volume patient's neurocognitive symptoms. The objective this study was investigates influence therapeutic tumor- necrosis symptoms in ab...
