N-Butyl Cyanoacrylate Embolization with Blood Flow Control of an Arterioportal Shunt That Developed after Radiofrequency Ablation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a case of a patient with rapid deterioration of esophageal varices caused by portal hypertension accompanied by a large arterioportal shunt that developed after radiofrequency ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma. We used n-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) as an embolic material to achieve pinpoint embolization of the shunt, because the microcatheter tip was 2 cm away from the shunt site. Under hepatic arterial flow control using a balloon catheter, the arterioportal shunt was successfully embolized with NBCA, which caused an improvement in the esophageal varices.

I-46: Radiofrequency Ablation of Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are benign solid tumors that are present in the majority of women. While often asymptomatic, fibroids can result in abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pressure, pain, subfertility, dyspareunia and other symptoms. Submucous and intramural fibroids are most associated with heavy menstrual bleeding; subserosal fibroids are more often innocuous unless sufficiently large so as to con...
متن کاملSuccessful Interventional Treatment for Arterioportal Fistula Caused by Radiofrequency Ablation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is commonly used as a treatment for small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although several complications such as intraperitoneal bleeding are often observed after RFA, hepatic arterioportal fistula (APF) is a less frequently occurring complication. In this study, we describe two cases of APF caused by RFA, which was successfully occluded by an interventional approa...

Intraperitoneal bleeding after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is the most common major vascular complication due to direct needle injury to a vessel or liver capsule. However, intraperitoneal bleeding as a result of a delayed hepatic rupture after RFA for liver tumors is an extremely rare complication. The present report describes a case of intraperitoneal hemorrhage caused by delayed hepatic ru...

In the present case report, we report the use of coils and n-butyl cyanoacrylate in the treatment of posttraumatic complex arterioportal fistula. This fistula resulted in ongoing hemodynamically significant gastrointestinal bleeding. Initially, coil embolization was used to treat the large feeding arteries of the AV fistula, but with subsequent discovery of multiple small feeding arteries, n-bu...

OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility and safety of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) embolization adjuvant to transarterial oily chemoembolization (P-TACE) in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with arterioportal shunts (APS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Nineteen patients who underwent PVA embolization for APS before a routine chemoembolization (TACE) procedure were retrospectively reviewed. 10 of these ...
