Purpose
To compare the feasibility and safety of mono-port catheter system and dual-port catheter system for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with anatomic hepatic artery variation and portal vein tumor thrombosis.Materials and Methods
This retrospective study consisted of 22 patients with infiltrative or multiple HCC with unilateral or bilateral portal vein thrombosis who had hepatic artery variation. A mono-port or dual-port catheter system was determined according to the degree of blood supply to the entire tumor through the common hepatic and variant hepatic arteries. Intrahepatic perfusion pattern, hepatic toxicity, and tumor response were investigated on computed tomography, medical records, and follow-up imaging study.Results
The most common hepatic arterial variation was replaced right hepatic artery arising from the superior mesenteric artery (n = 16), followed by replaced left hepatic artery (n = 5) and replaced right posterior segmental artery (n = 1). Twelve patients were treated with mono-port catheter system, and 10 patients were treated with dual-port catheter system. All 10 patients in the dual-port group showed homogeneous distribution of contrast material in the entire liver after port implantation, and 6 patients (50%, n = 6/12) in the mono-port group showed heterogeneous distribution (P = .018). The objective tumor response rates (P = .361) were 18.2% and 40%, and the disease control rates (P = .395) were 36.4% and 60% in the mono-port and dual-port groups, respectively.Conclusions
The dual-port catheter system is a safe and effective technique that allows the even distribution of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy without hemodynamic modification of anatomic variation in the hepatic arteries. 相似文献2.

Purpose
To identify technical factors that significantly change prostatic artery embolization (PAE) technical outcomes and to derive and test technical outcome predictive models.Materials and Methods
Retrospective analysis of PAEs performed by 2 operators (OPs) was performed: OP1, between April 2014 and May 2017 (n = 150); OP2, between February 2017 and December 2017 (n = 67). Multivariate analysis with mixed-effects modeling was used to test significance and derive predictive models. Mean difference was used to analyze prediction accuracy.Results
Moderate versus none subjective iliac tortuosity grade (SITG) and the presence of internal iliac atherosclerosis (PIIAA) versus none were associated with the following respective technical outcome increases: procedure time (PT): 43% (P < .01), 16% (P < .01); fluoroscopy time (FT): 47% (P < .01), 25% (P < .01); contrast volume (CV): 25.6 mL (P < .001), 13.7 mL (P = .01); and dose area product (DAP) 52% (P < .01), 20% (P = 0.03). Prostatic artery origin left obturator versus left superior vesical was associated with a 24% (P = .01) DAP decrease. For every 1 cc that prostate volume increased, CV decreased on average by 0.1 mL (P = .05). For every 1-cm decrease in patient height and 1-kg increase in weight, DAP increased on average by 0.02% (P < .01) for each. Unilateral versus bilateral versus 3-vessel embolization resulted in a 16.3-mL CV decrease on average for each additional vessel embolized (P = .03). The mean absolute differences between predicted and measured technical outcome values were: PT: 16 minutes, FT: 7 minutes, CV: 25 mL, and DAP: 44 Gy·cm2.Conclusions
In this study, higher SITGs and PIIAA most likely contributed to higher technical outcomes when controlling for the 2 OPs. 相似文献3.

Purpose
To compare the efficacy of lymph node (LN) embolization using N-butyl cyanoacrylate versus ethanol sclerotherapy in the management of symptomatic postoperative pelvic lymphorrhea.Materials and Methods
Thirty-three patients with 40 instances of symptomatic postoperative lymphorrhea were treated with either LN embolization or sclerotherapy at Seoul National University Hospital from January 2009 to July 2017 and were retrospectively included (LN embolization group: 24 lymphoceles of 19 patients, mean age of 59.29 years; sclerotherapy group: 16 lymphoceles of 14 patients, mean age of 60.95 years). The types of operations were hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection (n = 9), radical prostatectomy (n = 3), and renal transplantation (n = 2) for the sclerotherapy group and radical prostatectomy (n = 10) and hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection (n = 9) for the LN embolization group. The 3 most common indications of treatment were lower extremity edema (n = 11), pain (n = 11), and fever (n = 8). The amount of leak before treatment (initial daily drainage) and clinical outcomes, including the clinical success rate in 3 weeks, treatment period, and complication rate were compared between both groups.Results
LN embolization showed a higher 3-week clinical success rate than sclerotherapy in a univariate analysis (83.3% and 43.8%, P = .026). There was no statistically significant difference in the treatment period and the complication rate (7.1 days and 12.3 days, P = .098; 8.3% and 25.0%, P = .184).Conclusions
LN embolization is more effective for treating postoperative pelvic lymphorrhea than sclerotherapy with similar safety. 相似文献4.

Purpose
To evaluate imaging-related hemorrhagic risk factors for ultrasound (US)-guided native kidney biopsy.Materials and Methods
A retrospective review was conducted of adult patients who underwent US-guided native kidney biopsy at a single center between January 2006 and March 2016 and identified 37 of 551 patients (6.72%) with postbiopsy bleeding complications, including 11 major complications (2.00%; n = 11) and 26 minor complications (4.72%; n = 26). Ten patients with major complications and 20 with minor complications were matched with 20 control subjects each by propensity score matching based on age, needle size, number of cores, blood pressure, partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, platelet count, and estimated glomerular filtration rate.Results
Biopsy needle passing through the renal sinus was identified in the patients with major (6 of 10; 60%) and minor complications (8 of 20; 40.0%) but not in the control groups. For patients with major complications, the needle–sinus distance was significantly shorter (5.11 mm ± 7.32 vs 11.14 mm ± 3.54; P = .023) and the needle–capsule distance was significantly longer (17.52 mm ± 8.04 vs 9.28 mm ± 3.29; P = .0004) than in control subjects. The bimodal distribution of cortical tangential angles (< 30° or ≥ 60°) in minor complication cases (17 of 20; 85.0%) was significantly greater than in the control group (8 of 20; 40.0%; odds ratio = 8.50; P = .004).Conclusions
This study identifies imaging risk factors in US-guided native kidney biopsy and recommends an algorithm to manage them, including appropriate needle path position between the renal capsule and sinus and proper needle cortical tangential angle. 相似文献5.

Purpose
To characterize the degree of venous collateralization before and after endovascular therapy and determine the effect of collateralization on success of thrombolysis and rate of repeat intervention in patients with Paget–Schroetter syndrome.Materials and Methods
A single-center retrospective study of 37 extremities in 36 patients (mean age, 32.64 y; range, 15–72 y; 24 men) with PSS treated with endovascular therapy from 2007 through 2017 was conducted. Venograms at presentation, after lysis, postoperatively, and at each repeat intervention were graded for venous stenosis, thrombus burden, and collateralization on a 5-point scale. Collateralization was classified as high-grade (9 extremities) or low-grade (28 extremities) based on grading of the venograms at presentation.Results
Primary technical success rate for endovascular treatment was 100%. Eighty-six percent of patients (32 of 37) underwent thrombolysis, 91% (34 of 37) underwent mechanical thrombectomy, and 83% (30 of 37) underwent balloon angioplasty. Overall primary patency rate was 50% at 12 months. The repeat intervention rate within 12 months was significantly higher for extremities with high- vs low-grade collateralization (89% vs 43%; P = .016). There was a significant decrease in the median grade of collateral severity after initial intervention (2 vs 1; P = .044) and 1 day postoperatively (2 vs 1; P = .040) vs the venogram at presentation.Conclusions
Severity of venous collateralization on the venogram at presentation of patients with PSS does not appear to affect success of endovascular therapy but may predict long-term patency of affected extremities. Patients in this cohort with severe collateralization on presentation were more likely to need repeat intervention. 相似文献6.

Purpose
To compare treatment with hepatic arterial infusion of chemotherapy (HAIC) in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with both extrahepatic spread (EHS) and intrahepatic tumor and patients with intrahepatic tumor only.Materials and Methods
This single-center retrospective study comprised 116 patients with advanced HCC with both intrahepatic tumor and EHS (EHS group; n = 50) or with intrahepatic tumor only (non-EHS group; n = 66) treated with HAIC including oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin between June 2014 and July 2016. Overall survival (OS) and radiologic responses to treatment were determined and compared between the 2 groups.Results
Both the objective response rate and the clinical benefit rate were higher in the non-EHS group than in the EHS group (37.9% vs 16% objective response rate, P = .010; 81.8% vs 62% clinical benefit rate, P = .017). Median OS was not statistically different between the 2 groups (14.8 months vs 9.8 months, P = .068). Subgroup analysis of OS found that patients with lung metastases survived for a shorter time (OS 7 months) than patients with other metastatic sites (P = .003) and patients free of metastases (P = .001).Conclusions
HAIC is a potential treatment option for advanced HCC with limited extrahepatic metastases in a population with hepatitis B virus infection. 相似文献7.

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to quantify the relationship between author gender and publication topic, as well as the impact of gender-related research.Methods
We reviewed all original research publications in Radiology, American Journal of Roentgenology, and Academic Radiology from 2011 through 2015. For each article, we recorded the gender of all authors and the last author H-index, years in practice, and academic rank. The total citations and citation rate (citations per year) were calculated for each article. Articles were categorized as gender-neutral, women’s health, or men’s health.Results
There were 1,934 publications involving 11,657 authors. Women represented 30% of first, 25% of last, and 28% of all authors. There were 1,596 (83%) gender-neutral, 276 (14%) women’s health, and 61 (3%) men’s health articles. Women’s health articles were associated with a female first (odds ratio [OR] = 5.0, P < .001) and last author (OR = 6.4, P < .001), as well as more female authors (male = 1.4, female = 3.6, P < .001). Men’s health articles were associated with a male first (OR = 2.6, P = .004) and last author (OR = 2.2, P = .03). There were significantly more citations for men’s (43.5 ± 54.9, P < .001) and women’s health (27.6 ± 37.5, P < .008) articles than gender-neutral articles (21.9 ± 28.9). Similarly, the article citation rate was higher for men’s (10.6 ± 11.3, P < .001) and women’s health (6.8 ± 8.5, P = .004) articles than gender-neutral publications (5.3 ± 7.0).Conclusion
Radiology researchers publish more often on topics related to their own gender. Furthermore, men’s and women’s health research generates more citations than gender-neutral research. 相似文献8.

Purpose
To determine technical feasibility and results of stent-assisted coiling of visceral artery aneurysms (VAAs) with self-expandable LEO PLUS neurointerventional stent.Materials and Methods
In this retrospective study, 11 consecutive patients (mean age 61.9 y ± 8.9; range, 45–76 y) with VAAs (splenic, n = 3; common hepatic, n = 2; renal, n = 5; celiac, n = 1) treated with neurointerventional stents were included. MR angiography was evaluated for aneurysmal occlusion and patency of the parent arteries.Results
Technical success was 90.9%. A minor technical complication developed in 1 patient (9%), and thrombosis of the distal part of the stent was seen just after deployment in another patient, but it resolved after tirofiban injection. Complete occlusion was determined in all patients on MR angiography at 6-month follow-up.Conclusions
Self-expandable LEO PLUS neurointerventional stents could become a useful tool in the treatment of VAAs. Studies with larger groups of patients, including control groups, are needed to assess the true outcome of this treatment method. 相似文献9.

Purpose
To evaluate 30-day safety and efficacy of superselective embolization for arterial upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) using N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA).Materials and Methods
This single-center retrospective 10-year study included 152 consecutive patients with UGIB (gastric, n = 74; duodenal, n = 78) who underwent embolization with NBCA for angiographically positive arterial bleeding. The primary endpoint was clinical success rate defined as achievement of hemostasis without rebleeding or UGIB-related mortality within 30 days after embolization. Mean systolic blood pressure and heart rate were 121.2 mm Hg ± 27.4 and 97.9 beats/minute ± 22.5; 31.1% of patients needed intravenous inotropes, and 36.6% had coagulopathy. The etiology of bleeding was ulcer (80.3%) or iatrogenic injury (19.7%). Statistical analysis was performed to identify predictive factors for outcomes.Results
Technical success rate was 100%. Clinical success, 1-month mortality, and major complication rates were 70.4%, 22.4%, and 0.7%. There were significant differences in the clinical success rates between gastric and duodenal bleeding (79.4% vs 62.2%; P = .025). The need for intravenous inotropes at the time of embolization was a significant negative predictive factor in both gastric (odds ratio [OR] = 0.091, P = .004) and duodenal (OR = 0.156, P = .002) bleeding. The use of a microcatheter with a smaller tip (2 F) was associated with better outcomes in duodenal bleeding (OR = 7.389, P = .005).Conclusions
Superselective embolization using NBCA is safe and effective for angiographically positive arterial UGIB. 相似文献10.

Purpose
The aim of this investigation was to suggest practices to improve the delivery of work-integrated learning (WIL) in radiography training in South Africa (SA).Methods
An extensive survey was conducted among all universities in SA involved in the training of radiography students, to investigate the current delivery of WIL. Data were collected by means of quantitative questionnaires with open-ended qualitative components. The questionnaire was distributed to lecturers (n = 32), clinical supervisors (n = 44) and final-year students in Radiography (n = 146).Results
The quantitative (closed questions) and qualitative (open-ended comments) findings from the stakeholders with regard to the improvement of practice in the delivery of WIL in radiography training are presented in this article. The main themes discussed relate to curriculum design for WIL, teaching/learning of WIL, assessment of WIL and management and coordination of WIL.Conclusion
WIL is a powerful pedagogy if implemented and managed correctly. The results from this study may enable lecturers in radiography programmes in SA to improve the delivery of WIL in the training of high quality, employable graduates. 相似文献11.

Purpose
To compare reinterventions and associated costs to maintain arteriovenous graft hemodialysis access circuits after rescue with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), with or without concurrent Viabahn stent grafts, over 24 months.Materials and Methods
This multicenter (n = 30 sites) study evaluated reintervention number, type, and cost in 269 patients randomized to undergo placement of stent grafts or PTA alone. Outcomes were 24-month average cumulative number of reinterventions, associated costs, and total costs for all patients and in 4 groups based on index treatment and clinical presentation (thrombosed or dysfunctional).Results
Over 24 months, the patients in the stent graft arm had a 27% significant reduction in the average number of reinterventions within the circuit compared to the PTA arm (3.7 stent graft vs 5.1 PTA; P = .005) and similar total costs ($27,483 vs $28,664; P = .49). In thrombosed grafts, stent grafts significantly reduced the number of reinterventions (3.7 stent graft vs 6.2 PTA; P = .022) and had significantly lower total costs compared to the PTA arm ($30,329 vs $37,206; P = .027). In dysfunctional grafts, no statistical difference was observed in the number of reinterventions or total costs (3.7 stent graft vs 4.4 PTA; P = .12, and $25,421 stent graft and $22,610 PTA; P = .14).Conclusions
Over 24 months, the use of stent grafts significantly reduced the number of reinterventions for all patients, driven by patients presenting with thrombosed grafts. Compared to PTA, stent grafts reduced overall treatment costs for patients presenting with thrombosed grafts and had similar costs for stenotic grafts. 相似文献12.

Purpose
To prospectively investigate efficacy and radiation dose of ultra-low-dose CT–guided percutaneous core needle biopsy (PCNB) at 100 kVp with tin filtration (100Sn kVp) for small pulmonary lesions.Materials and Methods
Study enrolled and randomly assigned 210 patients to standard-dose CT (n = 70) or ultra-low-dose CT (n = 140; 1:2 randomization scheme) protocol. Standard-dose CT settings were reference 110 kVp and 50 mAs, and ultra-low-dose CT settings were fixed at 100Sn kVp and 70 mAs. All PCNBs in patients with small pulmonary lesions (< 3 cm) were performed on a third-generation dual-source CT scanner. Diagnostic performance, complication rate, image quality, and radiation dose were compared.Results
Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for diagnosis of malignancy were 95.7%, 100%, and 96.9% with standard-dose CT and 93.8%, 100%, and 95.4% with ultra-low-dose CT (P > .05). Complication rate showed no significant differences between protocols (P > .05). Mean volume CT dose index) and total dose-length product were significantly lower in ultra-low-dose CT compared with standard-dose CT (0.24 mGy vs 3.3 mGy ± 1.1 and 9.84 mGy-cm ± 0.70 vs 110.5 mGy-cm ± 45.1; P < .001). Effective dose for ultra-low-dose CT was significantly lower than that for standard-dose CT (0.14 mSv ± 0.02 vs 1.78 mSv ± 0.76; ?92.1%; P < .001). Image quality of ultra-low-dose CT met the requirements of PCNB.Conclusions
Ultra-low-dose CT-guided PCNB at 100Sn kVp spectral shaping significantly reduced radiation dose on a third-generation dual-source CT, while maintaining high diagnostic accuracy and safety for small pulmonary lesions. 相似文献13.

PURPOSE
Patients with large prostate glands are underrepresented in clinical trials incorporating brachytherapy due to concerns for excessive toxicity. We sought to compare health-related quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes between small (<60 cc) and large (≥60 cc) prostates treated with high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-B).METHODS AND MATERIALS
One hundred thirty patients at Emory University were treated with HDR-B monotherapy (n = 75) or HDR-B in combination with external beam radiation therapy (n = 55). American Urologic Association Symptom Score (AUASS) and expanded prostate cancer index composite for clinical practice (EPIC-CP) scores were recorded. A linear mixed model was performed dichotomizing prostate volume (<60 and ≥ 60 cc) with AUASS, individual EPIC-CP domains (urinary incontinence, urinary irritation/obstruction [UIO], bowel function, sexual function, and vitality/hormonal function), and overall EPIC-CP HRQOL scores.Results
Median followup was 22.6 months (range 2.2–55.8). The median gland volume for the entire cohort (n = 130), <60 cc cohort (n = 104), and ≥60 cc cohort (n = 26) was 44 cc, 41.1 cc, and 68.0 cc, respectively. There were no baseline differences in HRQOL scores between cohorts. At 2 months, AUASS and UIO scores increased similarly between cohorts (AUASS p = 0.807; UIO p = 0.539), then decreased (longitudinal effect p < 0.001 and p = 0.005, respectively) to remain not significantly different at 12 months (AUASS p = 0.595; UIO p = 0.673). Overall, prostate volume was not significantly associated with change in AUASS (p = 0.403), urinary incontinence (p = 0.322), UIO symptoms (p = 0.779), bowel symptoms (p = 0.757), vitality/hormonal symptoms (p = 0.503), or overall HRQOL (p = 0.382).Conclusions
In appropriately selected patients, HDR-B appears well tolerated in patients with ≥60 cc prostate glands without an increase in patient-reported toxicity. Volume should not be a strict contraindication in those with adequate baseline function. 相似文献14.

Purpose
To investigate the potential added value of paclitaxel-coated balloon (PCB) angioplasty to reduce fistula dysfunction related to recurrent stenoses in patients undergoing hemodialysis.Materials and Methods
A prospective, randomized study was conducted in 3 dialysis referral centers. From January 2013 to October 2015, 64 patients (22 female, 42 male) with dysfunctional autologous dialysis fistulae were randomized to undergo conventional percutaneous balloon angioplasty (n = 31) or PCB angioplasty (n = 33). Procedural and postprocedural data were assessed. Primary patency of the fistula was evaluated at 3, 6, and 12 months following the procedure. Statistical analysis was based on the Fisher exact test and independent t test.Results
There were no procedural or postprocedural complications. After 3, 6, and 12 months of follow-up, primary patency rates after PCB angioplasty and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) were 88% and 80% (P = .43), 67% and 65% (P = .76), and 42% and 39% (P = .95), respectively.Conclusions
Although primary patency rates after PCB angioplasty in autologous dialysis fistulae at 3, 6, and 12 months of follow-up are slightly better than those after PTA, the difference is not statistically significant. 相似文献15.

Purpose
To prospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of using the Tigris vascular stent (Gore, Flagstaff, Arizona) alone or in combination with the Viabahn stent (Gore) for revascularizing femoropopliteal Trans-Atlantic Intersociety Consensus (TASC) type B–D lesions with varying degrees of calcification.Materials and Methods
Patients with Rutherford stage ≥ 3 and TASC type ≥ B were included in the study. From January 2015 to April 2017, 31 segments in 31 patients (21 men, ovarall mean age 73.3 ± 9.2 years) were treated. The breakdown by TASC type and Rutherford stage were TASC B (n = 12), C (n = 6), and D (n = 13), and Rutherford 3 (n = 28) and 4 (n = 3). The lesions were located in the common femoral artery (n = 1), superficial femoral artery (SFA; n = 20), distal SFA to P1 (n = 3), popliteal P1 (n = 1), popliteal P1–3 (n = 3), popliteal P2–3 (n = 2), and 1 femoropopliteal bypass. There were 18 occlusions (58.1%) and 13 stenoses (41.9%). The mean diseased segment length was 15.5 ± 9.9 cm with 80.6% of moderate/severe calcification. The follow-up consisted of color Doppler ultrasound and clinical assessment at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 months.Results
Technical success was 100%. There were no periprocedural or postprocedural complications. The mean stented lesion length was 17.2 ± 10.5 cm with a mean follow-up of 13.1 ± 6.9 months. Primary patency rates at 6, 9, 12, and 15 months were, respectively, 100% (24/31 patients), 90.5% (21/31 patients), 88.9% (20/31 patients), and 80% (15/31 patients). The median postprocedural Rutherford stage was 1. Three occlusions occurred at 7, 9, and 14 months, leading to a target lesion revascularization of 9.7% and a secondary patency of 100% at 15 months. Logistic analysis results demonstrated that lesion length (P = .003) was associated with reocclusion. Amputation-free survival at 15 months was 100%. Intrastent restenosis was observed in four cases (12.9%) but none were associated with worsening of symptoms. No stent fractures were observed.Conclusions
The Tigris stent used alone or in combination with a Viabahn stent for femoropopliteal TASC B–D lesions demonstrated acceptable 12-month primary patency with a low reintervention rate. 相似文献16.

Purpose
To evaluate the statewide variability in the role of different specialties in lower extremity endovascular revascularization (LEER) and associated submitted charges of care and actual reimbursement for Medicare beneficiaries.Methods
The 2015 “Medicare Provider Utilization and Payment Data: Physician and Other Supplier” data includes provider-specific information regarding the type of service, submitted average charges of care, and actual average Medicare reimbursements per Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code per provider. All HCPCS codes related to LEER were identified. The role of vascular surgery (VS), interventional cardiology (IC), and interventional radiology (IR) in each HCPCS-specific intervention was investigated.Results
In 2015, 4113 providers submitted claims for iliac (n = 13,659), femoropopliteal (n = 52,344), and tibioperoneal (n = 32,688) endovascular revascularizations. In the facility setting, VS performed most of these procedures (52%), followed by IC (32%) and IR (8%). In the outpatient-based lab setting, the proportions were 46%, 36%, and 13%, respectively. Substantial statewide variability in the role of different specialties in LEER was noted. In Maine, Vermont, and Hawaii, all facility claims were submitted by VS, while more than 70% of the claims in Arizona and Utah were submitted by IC. The highest share of LEER for IR was observed in Montana and North Dakota (50%). There was substantial statewide variability in the submitted charges.Conclusion
Currently, less than 10% of LEER procedures are being performed by IR. The statewide variability in the submitted charges of care by providers and actual reimbursement for Medicare beneficiaries were investigated in this study. 相似文献17.

Purpose
To determine if there is a correlation between intrahepatic tumor volume and future liver remnant (FLR) hypertrophy after portal vein embolization (PVE).Materials and Methods
Forty-four consecutive patients with hepatocellular carcinoma or metastatic colorectal cancer who underwent PVE from 2009 to 2017 and who had complete imaging follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. To maximize the accuracy of tumor volume measurements, 11 patients were excluded for having more than 5 intrahepatic tumors. Volumetric analyses of the patient livers before and after PVE, as well as pre-embolization intrahepatic tumor burden, were performed.Results
A significant inverse correlation was observed between tumor volume and FLR hypertrophy after PVE (Spearman ρ = -0.53, P = .002). Initial FLR volume was also inversely correlated with subsequent hypertrophy (P = .01). Fourteen patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy 1 month prior to intervention. The number of chemotherapy cycles did not affect hypertrophy (P = .57). Patients with cirrhosis experienced less FLR hypertrophy than patients without cirrhosis (P = .02).Conclusions
Patients with large intrahepatic tumor burden may experience limited FLR hypertrophy. 相似文献18.

Purpose
This study used the Oncopig Cancer Model (OCM) to develop alcohol-induced fibrosis in a porcine model capable of developing hepatocellular carcinoma.Materials and Methods
Liver injury was induced in 8-week-old Oncopigs (n = 10) via hepatic transarterial infusion of 0.75 mL/kg ethanol-ethiodized oil (1:3 v/v). Feasibility was assessed in an initial Oncopig cohort (n = 5) by histologic analysis at 8 weeks after induction, and METAVIR results were compared to age- and sex-matched healthy controls (n = 5). Liver injury was then induced in a second OCM cohort (n = 5) for a time-course study, with post-induction disease surveillance via biweekly physical exam, lab analysis, and liver biopsies until 20 weeks after induction.Results
In Cohort 1, 8-week post-induction liver histologic analysis revealed median METAVIR F3 (range, F3–F4) fibrosis, A2 (range, A2–A3) inflammation, and 15.3% (range, 5.0%–22.9%) fibrosis. METAVIR and inflammation scores were generally elevated compared to healthy controls (F0–F1, P = 0.0013; A0–A1, P = .0013; median percent fibrosis 8.7%, range, 5.8%–12.1%, P = .064). In Cohort 2, histologic analysis revealed peak fibrosis severity of median METAVIR F3 (range, F2–F3). However, lack of persistent alcohol exposure resulted in liver recovery, with median METAVIR F2 (range, F1–F2) fibrosis at 20 weeks after induction. No behavioral or biochemical abnormalities were observed to indicate liver decompensation.Conclusions
This study successfully validated a protocol to develop METAVIR F3–F4 fibrosis within 8 weeks in the OCM, supporting its potential to serve as a model for hepatocellular carcinoma in a fibrotic liver background. Further investigation is required to determine if repeated alcohol liver injury is required to develop an irreversible METAVIR grade F4 porcine cirrhosis model. 相似文献19.

Purpose
To evaluate treatment outcomes with percutaneous cryoablation (PCA) based on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) histology.Methods and Materials
Patients treated with PCA for a solitary, sporadic stage T1a RCC from 2003 to 2016 were identified from a single institution’s renal ablation registry. Patients with multiple tumors, history of RCC, or genetic syndromes associated with RCC (n = 60); no specific RCC subtype determined from core biopsy (n = 66); RCC subtype other than clear-cell or papillary (n = 7); or less than 3 mo of follow-up imaging (n = 5) were excluded. In total, 173 patients met study inclusion criteria. Oncologic outcomes, clinical outcomes, and complications were evaluated based on tumor subtype.Results
Of the 173 patients who underwent PCA for a stage T1a RCC, 130 (75%) had clear-cell RCC (ccRCC) and 43 (25%) had papillary RCC (pRCC). Median tumor size was 2.9 cm (range, 1.3–4.0 cm). Technically successful cryoablation was achieved in all 173 patients. Local tumor recurrence developed in 6 patients with ccRCC (4.6%), new renal tumors developed in 1 patient (0.8%), and metastatic RCC developed in 1 patient (0.8%) who also had local tumor recurrence. No patients with pRCC showed local tumor recurrence, new renal tumors, or metastatic disease. The 5-year disease-free survival rate in patients with ccRCC was 88%, compared with 100% in patients with pRCC (P = .48). Nine patients (5.2%), all with ccRCC, experienced major complications (P = .11).Conclusions
Percutaneous ablation is a viable treatment option for patients with clinical stage T1a pRCC and ccRCC. Percutaneous ablation may be a very favorable treatment strategy particularly for pRCC. 相似文献20.
