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...

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a reactive hypermelanosis, profoundly common in the Asian skin. The post-acne sequelae may have profound effects on patients’ mental status, sometimes even more than acne itself, as they are long lasting and treatment refractory. PIH occurs secondary to release of inflammatory mediators such prostaglandins interleukins which stimulate melanogenesis. ...

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.

BACKGROUND The complexity of ventricular septal defects in early infancy led to development of new mini-invasive techniques based on collaboration of cardiac surgeons with interventional cardiologists, called hybrid procedures. Hybrid therapies aim to combine the advantages of surgical and interventional techniques in an effort to reduce the invasiveness. The aim of this study was to present ou...

Placebo controls are commonly used in clinical trials of investigational treatments because they have important advantages. In recent years, some have criticized the use of placebo-controlled trials when effective alternative therapy exists, regardless of the expected effect of the therapy. In part 1 of this paper, ethical arguments are addressed and the interpretive problems inherent in the us...

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...

O ver the last decade, there have been dramatic increases in the use of transarterial embolotherapies for the treatment of hepatic malignancies. Although palliative treatments remain the main driving force behind this trend, part of the increased utilization is the result of expanding indications. Increasingly, transarterial therapies are being performed in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings...
