PATIENT SAFETY Embolization ofMeningiomas: Comparison of Safety between CalibratedMicrospheres and Polyvinyl-Alcohol Particles as Embolic Agents
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: During embolization of meningiomas, intratumoral hemorrhagic complications may occur, especially with the use of small particle sizes. We compared the rate of hemorrhagic complications in 55 patients embolized with 400mcalibrated microspheres (Embozene) with a historical cohort of 198 patients embolized with smaller PVA particles. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS: Between September ...
متن کاملComparison of the Effectiveness of Embolic Agents for Bronchial Artery Embolization: Gelfoam versus Polyvinyl Alcohol
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the results of different agents for bronchial artery embolization of hemoptysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS From March 1992 to December 2006, a bronchial artery embolization was performed on 430 patients with hemoptysis. The patients were divided into three groups. Group 1 included 74 patients treated with a gelfoam particle (1 x 1 x 1 mm), while ...
متن کاملPolyvinyl alcohol particle superficial morphology.
We appreciated the research by Derdeyn et al (1) from the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology concerning the size and suspension characteristics of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles. We do agree that both size and suspension characteristics of PVA represent relevant parameters affecting the aggregation of particles during injection. In addition to these two variables, we considered further para...
متن کاملPolyvinyl Alcohol Fiber Reinforced Engineered Cementitious Composites: Material Design and Performances
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber is considered as one of the most suitable polymeric fibers to be used as the reinforcement of engineered cementitious composites (ECC), though the unique microstructure characteristics of PVA fiber add challenge to the material design. In this paper, the micromechanics based design procedure for a PVA-ECC suitable for structural applications is described, and pract...
متن کاملStudies of Polyvinyl Alcohol/Alkali Lignin/Silica Composite Foam Material (PLCFM)
This study investigates methods for improving the heat resistance of polyvinyl alcohol/alkali lignin foam material (PLFM). Tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) was used as a precursor to prepare PLCFM by a sol-gel method. The PLCFM, prepared with different levels of TEOS, was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometry (FTIR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and Thermogravimetric Anal...
