Systemic embolisation is common in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Microembolisation as a presenting sign of dilated cardiomyopathy, however, has not been reported before. A 37 year old woman in whom dilated cardiomyopathy presented as arterial microembolisation to the toes is described.

vessels that are relatively inaccessible, wi thout resorting to major surgery. However , in the case of a false aneurysm of the thyrocervical trunk, would coil embolisation not be a more appropriate method for percutaneous endovascular control? Finally, the authors suggest that the residual haematoma in a false aneurysm would not be resorbed after stent control. What evidence do they have for t...

The purpose of this article is to describe acute complications associated with adhesive cyanoacrylate deposition in the peripheral circulation and their management. Despite best efforts, n-butyl cyanoacrylate glue embolization is inherently unpredictable and complications do occur. An understanding of preparation techniques that minimize adverse event rates and the technical skillset required t...

PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effect and safety of transarterial embolization using bleomycin-iodinated oil and polyvinyl alcohol particles for the treatment of symptomatic hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH). METHODS This retrospective study included 23 consecutive patients with symptomatic hepatic FNH, who underwent embolization using bleomycin-iodinated oil and polyvinyl...

Angiosarcoma of the breast is an extremely rare condition. This case illustrates the use of embolisation as a modality of treatment for primary breast angiosarcoma. No other case has been reported on the use of embolisation for this disorder.

The paper presents a case of an aneurysm of the vein of Galen (VGA) in an infant, successfully treated by total open surgical excision (after previous ineffective embolisation). Current strategies of management of these rare yet potentially disastrous lesions are discussed and pertinent literature is reviewed.
