pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (avms) are rare vascular malformations of the lung that usually led to a notable risk of serious and life-threatening complications. there is considerable debate about the best management of strategies for the group of patients with diffuse avms. several therapeutic options have been reported for management of this abnormality among which coil embolization ...

conclusions despite close concordance between ultrasonography and chest radiography, ceus is not a suitable alternative for standard chest radiography in detecting cvc location; however, considering its high sensitivity and acceptable specificity in our study, its usefulness as a triage method for detecting cvc location on a real-time basis in the operating room cannot be ignored. results chest...

methods in this article we checked the derived data from 20 relevant studies published during the last 20 years in international scientific literature at other country except iran and 10 studies from iran. the variables dose-area product (dap), fluoroscopy time, number of sequences and frames per sequence were collected for each ca, ptca, rfa and diagnostic electrophysiology and then the obtain...

BACKGROUND The purpose of writing this article is to document the important events and people in the first 50 years of diagnostic angiography and interventional radiology in Slovenia. During this period not only did the name of the institutions and departments change, but also its governance. CONCLUSIONS This depicted the important roles different people played at various times in the cardiov...

Interventional radiology is an invasive specialty with the potential for errors as with other invasive specialties. A critical analysis of the different types of errors may help radiologist undertake the corrective measures. Standardize interventional procedures with protocols applicable to clinical practice are necessary to avoid the malpractice and, therefore, the related medical-legal issues...

interventional techniques aim to find safer and better ways to treat vascular diseases even in many instances, the interventional radiology solutions has been considered the only treatment option for the patients. interventional radiologists are specialists who perform minimally invasive procedures instead of surgery or other treatments. these procedures apply various imaging and catheterizatio...

Gene therapy is a new and rapidly developing area in medicine. Although it is a new therapy method, recent studies look promising. Since vascular wall is a good target for this treatment, interventional radiologists should become familiar with this new therapy and be involved in this multidisciplinary collaboration.

conclusions there is clinical utility in knowing the relative deflection of various needle tips. when a procedure requires a needle to be steered around obstacles, or along non-collinear targets, the predictable and large amount of deflection obtained through use of a beveled spinal needle may prove beneficial. materials and methods six needles commonly used in spinal procedures (quincke, short...
