venous malformations are the most common form of symptomatic vascular malformations. vm s could classify into low-flow lesions (vms) and high-flow lesions (avms). for low-flow venous lesions, direct percutaneous puncture with injection of sclerosing agents (sclerotherapy) has been described as a successful therapy. in this article, we want to introduce a patient who treated with ethanol sclerot...

Abstract Background Intestinal lymphangiectasia is a rare disease. Thus, prospective studies are impossible, and therapy still controversial. Several medicines suggested for treatment but there no existing indications drug choice guidelines. We aimed to introduce the action mechanism of each overview in single-center experience review literature on second-line primary intestinal lymphangiectasi...

OBJECTIVE To assess retrospectively the treatment results of ethanol embolization of peripheral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) with a dominant outflow vein (DOV). MATERIALS AND METHODS Nineteen patients who had peripheral AVMs with a DOV were enrolled in this study (mean age, 29.7 years; range, 15-42 years). Fifty-one ethanol embolizations (mean, 2.7; range, 1-8) were performed by direct ...

Background: Renal vascular injuries mostly result from interventional urologic procedures such as percutaneous biopsy and nephrostomy. Serious hemorrhagic complications associated with percutaneous urologic procedures occur in 2.3-15% of the patients endangering patients' life. Conventional surgical treatment including partial and total nephrectomy carries great morbidity and results in remarka...

hemobilia is a rare source of upper gasterointestinal bleeding. though the incidence is increasing along with the rise in minimally invasive biliary interventions. prompt diagnosis and treatment rests of having appropriate clinical suspicion which should be based on the patients presenting signs and symptoms, as well as history including recent instrumentation. endoscopy should be reservedfor c...

Concomitant occurrence of severe extracranial large vessel stenosis and an ipsilateral intracranial aneurysm is often detected incidentally, but the optimal therapeutic strategy is not clear. Several reports have investigated whether simultaneous carotid artery stenting and coil embolization, or multi-stage therapy is better. These treatment strategies are still controversial because simultaneo...

PURPOSE To determine the impact of iodinated contrast material extravasation at MDCT in selecting patients with pelvic fractures that require vascular embolization. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients with severe pelvic fracture admitted to the trauma unit between 1998 and 2004 underwent contrast enhanced MDCT prior to additional specific treatment. All patients with extravasation underwent imm...

We present a case in which plasma pancreatic polypeptide and calcitonin were found to be raised in association with an islet cell tumour of the pancreas and its hepatic metastases. In this patient, no specific endocrine syndrome was found. Therapeutic hepatic artery embolization improved the general health of the patient with no change in plasma pancreatic polypeptide, but a fall in calcitonin.

Post-transplantation refractory ascites is uncommon; however, it can be a serious problem, increasing both morbidity and mortality in patients. Despite scant literature available, splenic artery embolization (SAE) has been shown to be an effective treatment for refractory ascites after cadaveric orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). We report a successful use of therapeutic SAE for refractory...
