Feasibility and safety of endovascular treatment for chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency in patients with multiple sclerosis

Objective Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) is a recently discovered syndrome mainly due to stenoses of internal jugular (IJV) and/or azygos (AZ) veins. The present study retrospectively evaluates the feasibility and safety of endovascular treatment for CCSVI in a cohort of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods From September 2010 to October 2012, 1202 consecutive…

Early and five-year amputation and survival rate of diabetic patients with critical limb ischemia: data of a cohort study of 564 patients.

In diabetic patients with CLI the revascularization is feasible in most cases and allows a low rate of early major amputation. This rate is higher in the follow-up period. Major amputation is very high in patients where revascularization is not feasible while the high mortality rate is due to the serious comorbidities observed in these…

Treatment of a celiac trunk aneurysm close to the hepato-splenic bifurcation by using hepatic stent-graft implantation and splenic artery embolization.

Basile lake james indiana web cam A, Lupattelli T, Magnano M, Giulietti G, Privitera G, Battaglia G, Monaca V, Ettorre G. Source Department of Radiology, Ospedale Ferrarotto, via Citelli 16, Catania, Italy. antodoc@yahoo.com Abstract We present a case new nusic singles released of a 73-year-old man in whom a celiac trunk aneurysm close to the…

When is a technically successful peripheral angioplasty effective in preventing above-the-ankle amputation in diabetic patients with critical limb ischaemia?

In patients with diabetes, PTA is effective in avoiding major amputation, provided recanalization occurs in at least one tibial artery down to the foot. In a few patients, re-canalization of the peroneal artery alone is not sufficient to avoid major amputation.  

Application of a new combined guiding technique in RF ablation of subphrenic liver tumors.

We present an unreported technique used to treat with RF ablation hepatic subphrenic hepatocellular dating your first love twice carcinoma. It consists in the combination of fluoroscopic and computed tomography guidance for lesions already embolized with lipiodol located at the hepatic dome, approached in parallel fashion with a 22-gauge chiba “finder” needle followed by the…

Treatment of uterine fibromyoma with bilateral uterine artery embolization: state of the art

Uterine fibroids are common tumors of the female pelvis. Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a minimally invasive alternative procedure in appropriate candidates to conventional myomectomy and hysterectomy for symptomatic uterine leiomyoma, reducing or eliminating leiomyoma-related symptoms of bleeding, bulk, and/or pain. In order to completely block the arterial blood supply to the fibroid, UAE is…

The efficacy and safety of closure of brachial access using the AngioSeal closure device: experience with 161 interventions in diabetic patients with critical limb ischemia.

This retrospective study shows that the 6F Angio-Seal is a valuable and safe vascular closure device for transbrachial access in diabetic patients undergoing interventional procedures for critical limb ischemia.  

Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm treated using stent-graft implantation and retrograde gastroduodenal artery coil embolization.

Endovascular treatment options for visceral artery pseudoaneurysms depend on lesion location and size. Exclusion methods fall into two categories, embolization and stent placement, and these procedures aim to exclude the pseudoaneurysm from the circulation and if possible to maintain distal blood flow. Embolization of the afferent artery can be used in pseudoaneurysms that arise from…

Treatment of anastomotic stenoses of peripheral bypass grafts with cutting balloon angioplasty.

Our data confirm the efficacy of CBA in the treatment of anastomotic stenoses of peripheral arterial bypass grafts.  

Angioplasty for diabetic patients with failing bypass graft or residual critical ischemia after bypass graft.

PTA is an effective method for revascularizing secondary obstructions in patients with graft failure (and no possibility of a redo graft). PTA also is effective in at least one subgenicular artery in patients with diabetes with inadequate run-off after femoropopliteal bypass grafting.
