OBJECTIVE. We report nine consecutive percutaneous image-guided cryoablation procedures of head and neck tumors in seven patients (four men and three women; mean age, 68 years; age range, 50–78 years). Ablation of the entire tumor for local control or ablation of a region of tumor for pain relief or preservation of function was achieved in eight of nine procedures. One patient experienced intraprocedural bradycardia, and another developed a neopharyngeal abscess. There were no deaths, permanent neurologic or functional deficits, vascular complications, or adverse cosmetic sequelae due to the procedures.
Purpose: To evaluate the influence of bridging local-regional therapy (LRT) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence and overall survival after orthotopic liver transplantation and to identify factors that predict HCC recurrence after orthotopic liver transplantation.
Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate whether thermal injury–induced hepatic parenchymal hypoperfusion can be a significant risk factor for tumor recurrence after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Our results indicate that, with regard to optimizing nucleic acid yield for personalized medicine–based approaches requiring lung core needle biopsies, there should be a preference for using lower gauge needles over smaller needles with more passes.
Purpose: To determine how close to the heart pulmonary microwave ablation can be performed without causing cardiac tissue injury or significant arrhythmia.
The pilot study provides initial evidence that US-guided microwave ablation is safe and effective for treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with end-stage renal disease.
Percutaneous irreversible electroporation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer is generally well tolerated, although major adverse events can occur.
Purpose: The study aimed to introduce a monorail technique to overcome difficult anatomical course via left internal jugular vein in implantable port insertion.
Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of the Amplatzer vascular plug (AVP) for preoperative common hepatic embolization (CHA) before distal pancreatectomy with en bloc celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) to redistribute blood flow to the stomach and liver via the superior mesenteric artery (SMA).
Background and Aims: To evaluate the long-term survival benefit of bridging locoregional therapy (LRT) prior to orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) within Milan criteria.
Purpose: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with a “nodule-in-nodule” (NIN) appearance has unique histological characteristics as an early HCC. We assessed long-term therapeutic outcomes of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in HCC patients considering this appearance.
Purpose: The purpose of this prospective observational study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for neuroendocrine liver metastases using a combination of streptozocin, Lipiodol, and tris-acryl microspheres.
Purpose: Currently, almost all adrenal venous sampling (AVS) procedures are performed by femoral vein access. The purpose of this study was to establish the technique of AVS via an antecubital approach and evaluate its safety and feasibility.
Purpose: To appraise the efficacy and safety of prophylactic uterine artery embolization in pregnancy termination with placenta previa.
Purpose: To compare recurrence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) recurrence at 12 months following original prostate artery embolization (oPAE) or “proximal embolization first, then embolize distal” (PErFecTED) PAE for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
