Outflow of N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate into the Pancreatic Duct: Transcatheter Arterial Embolization for Hemosuccus Pancreaticus

Transcatheter Arterial Embolization of Arterial Esophageal Bleeding with the Use of N-Butyl Cyanoacrylate

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of a transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) with N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) for the treatment of arterial esophageal bleeding. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between August 2000 and April 2008, five patients diagnosed with arterial esophageal bleeding by conventional angiography, CT-angiography or endoscopy, underwent a TAE with NBCA. We mixe...

Transcatheter Arterial Embolization of Nonvariceal Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding with N-Butyl Cyanoacrylate

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) with N-Butyl Cyanoacrylate (NBCA) for nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between March 1999 and December 2002, TAE for nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding was performed in 93 patients. The endoscopic approach had failed or was discarded as an approach for...

Transcatheter Arterial Embolization of Gastrointestinal Tract Bleeding with N-Butyl-2-Cyanoacrylate in 71 Patients at a Single Institution

N-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate embolization of spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Because they are not well established, we investigated the technical success and recurrence rates of n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) embolization of spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae (SDAVF), and assessed clinical outcomes. METHODS We retrospectively studied all patients with SDAVF treated by NBCA embolization at our institution over an 8-year period. Gait and micturit...

Superselective Transcatheter Embolization to Halt an Arterial Esophageal Hemorrhage: Is the Use of N-Butyl Cyanoacrylate the Best Choice?

We read with great interest the article by Park et al. (1), recently published in the Korean Journal of Radiology, whom reported on the effectiveness of selective emboliza-tion using N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) in patients with acute arterial esophageal bleeding. We have several comments: over the last decade, transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) has gained widespread acceptance as a firs...
