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

Purpose

To evaluate the incidence of bleeding complications between transplenic (TS) and transhepatic (TH) access in portal venous interventions.

Materials and Methods

Retrospective review of patients who underwent TS or TH access for portal venous system interventions from January 2000 to August 2017. Only procedures with clinical and laboratory follow-up were included (n = 148). Twenty-four TS procedures were performed in 22 patients, and 124 TH procedures were performed in 114 patients. The main indications were for angioplasty/stent, embolization of varices/shunt, or portal vein embolization, with no difference between the groups. Mean patient age and sex were not significantly different between the groups (P values .445 and .682, respectively). Mean follow up was 2.3 years (range 0.1–14.2). There was no significant difference between the international normalized ratio (P = .300) and platelets (P = .234) before the procedure between the 2 cohorts.

Results

Technical success of vascular access and procedural success was achieved in 22/24 (91.6%) TS procedures and 120/124 (96.8%) TH procedures (P = .238). There was no significant difference in bleeding complications between the 2 groups (3/24 [12.5%] TS vs 10/124 [8.1%] TH; P = .44). There was no significant difference in major bleeding complications (SIR classification ≥ C; 1/24 [4.2%] TS vs 4/124 [3.2%] TH; P = .789).There was no significant difference in the hemoglobin before or after the procedure (g/dL), with average change ?1.1 g/dL (range ?3.4 to +1.0) in the TS group and 1.0 g/dL (range ?4.5 to +1.9) in the TH group (P = .540). Finally, there was no significant difference in proportion of patients requiring blood transfusion after the procedure (P = .520), with 2 (8.3%) in the TS group requiring an average of 4 units (range 2–6) and 17 (13.7%) in the TH group requiring an average of 3.5 units (range 1–26).

Conclusions

These data suggest no significant difference in bleeding complications between TS and TH access for portal venous interventions.  相似文献

Purpose

To evaluate efficacy and safety of prophylactic internal iliac occlusion balloon placement before cesarean hysterectomy for invasive placenta.

Material and Methods

A retrospective analysis was performed of patients with invasive placenta treated with and without occlusion balloon placement. Preoperative occlusion balloons were placed in 90 patients; 61 patients were treated without balloon placement (control group). Baseline demographics, including patient age, gestational age at delivery, gravidity, parity, and number of previous cesarean sections, were not significantly different (P > .05). Of the balloon placement group, 56% had placenta percreta compared with 25% in the control group (P < .001), and 83% had placenta previa compared with 66% in the control group (P = .012).

Results

Median blood loss was 2 L (range, 1.5–2.5 L) in the balloon placement group versus 2.5 L (range, 2–4 L) in the control group (P = .002). Patients with occlusion balloons were transfused a median of 2 U (range, 0–5 U) of packed red blood cells versus 5 U (range, 2–8 U) in patients in the control group (P = .002). In the balloon placement group, 34% had large volume blood loss > 2,500 mL versus 61% in the control group (P = .001), and 21% required blood transfusion > 6 U versus 44% in the control group (P = .002). Eight complications (9%) were attributed to occlusion balloon placement.

Conclusions

Prophylactic internal iliac artery occlusion balloon placement reduces operative blood loss and transfusion requirements in patients undergoing hysterectomy for invasive placenta.  相似文献

Purpose

To assess safety, efficacy, and long-term outcome of repeat bronchial artery embolization (BAE) for recurrent hemoptysis.

Materials and Methods

This was a retrospective study of patients referred for repeat BAE to manage recurrent hemoptysis after initial successful embolization. BAE was performed in 223 patients; 36 (16.1%) of these patients underwent 59 repeat BAE procedures because of recurring symptoms. The most frequent underlying lung diseases were bronchiectasis (n = 8; 22%), cystic fibrosis (n = 7; 19%), and idiopathic hemoptysis (n = 7; 19%).

Results

Most patients (64%) underwent 2 embolization procedures owing to vessel recanalization (71%) as the most frequent pathophysiologic mechanism of recurrent hemoptysis. No serious adverse events requiring prolonged hospital stay were noted. Risk for relapse of hemoptysis was significantly lower for bronchiectasis compared with other chronic infections (P = .0022) and cystic fibrosis (P = .0004). Overall survival after 3-year and 5-year follow-up was 92% and 84%, respectively.

Conclusions

Repeat BAE for recurrent hemoptysis after initial successful BAE is safe and efficacious, especially in patients with bronchiectasis as the underlying lung disease.  相似文献

Purpose

To retrospectively assess long-term outcomes of percutaneous renal cryoablation, including factors affecting complications and local recurrence rates.

Materials and Methods

A total of 357 computed tomographic (CT) fluoroscopy–guided percutaneous cryoablation procedures were performed for 382 masses in 302 outpatients; 347 were biopsy-proven renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) or Bosniak category > III masses (n = 28). Benign pathologic conditions (n = 18) or metastatic non-RCC disease (n = 17) were included to analyze procedural complication rate, but recurrence rates, tumor staging, and nephrometry score were limited to RCCs. The average tumor diameter was 2.9 cm (range, 1–10.3 cm), and median nephrometry score for RCC was 8 (mean, 7.4). Protection of adjacent vital structures was performed in 34% of procedures (n = 121), and ureteral stent placement was performed for 9.2% (n = 33). All major complications were graded per surgical Clavien–Dindo criteria.

Results

The average CT-visible cryoablation zone diameter was 5 cm (range, 2.5–10.5 cm). Grade ≥ 3 complications occurred in 2.8% of procedures (n = 10), and appeared related to only high nephrometry scores (P = .0086) and larger tumors (P = .0034). No significant changes in renal function before and after the procedure were noted (P = .18). At a mean follow-up of 31.8 months, the local tumor recurrence rate was 3.2% (11 of 347) for RCC, and no significant difference was noted between tumors larger or smaller than 3 cm (P = .15). The difference reached significance only among the small number of stage ≥ T2 RCC tumors (P = .0039).

Conclusions

Long-term follow-up of percutaneous renal cryoablation demonstrates low recurrence rates with preserved renal function, even for patients with high nephrometry scores and body mass index, assuming thorough cytotoxic technique and protection measures.  相似文献

Purpose

To evaluate outcomes of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for gastric cancer–related gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding and factors associated with successful TAE and improved survival after TAE.

Materials and Methods

This retrospective study included 43 patients (34 men; age 60.6 y ± 13.6) with gastric cancer–related GI bleeding undergoing angiography between January 2000 and December 2015. Clinical course, laboratory findings, and TAE characteristics were reviewed. Technical success of TAE was defined as target area devascularization, and clinical success was defined as bleeding cessation with hemodynamic stability during 72 hours after TAE. Student t test was used for comparison of continuous variables, and Fisher exact test was used for categorical variables. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to identify predictors of successful TAE and 30-day survival after TAE.

Results

TAE was performed in 40 patients. Technical and clinical success rates of TAE were 85.0% and 65.0%, respectively. Splenic infarction occurred in 2 patients as a minor complication. Rebleeding after TAE occurred in 7 patients. Death related to bleeding occurred in 5 patients. Active bleeding (P = .044) and higher transfusion requirement (3.3 U ± 2.6 vs 1.8 U ± 1.7; P = .039) were associated with TAE failure. Successful TAE predicted improved 30-day survival after TAE on univariate and multivariate analysis (P = .018 and P = .022; odds ratio, 0.132).

Conclusion

TAE for gastric cancer–associated GI bleeding may be a lifesaving procedure. Severe bleeding with a higher transfusion requirement and active bleeding on angiography predicted TAE failure.  相似文献

Purpose

To quantify the effect of transarterial embolization on microwave (MW) ablations in an in vivo porcine liver model.

Materials and Methods

Hepatic arteriography and cone-beam computed tomography (CT) scans were performed in 6 female domestic swine. Two lobes were embolized to an endpoint of substasis with 100–300-μm microspheres. MW ablations (65 W, 5 min) were created in embolized (n = 15) and nonembolized (n = 12) liver by using a 2.45-GHz system and single antenna. Cone-beam CT scans were obtained to monitor the ablations, document gas formation, and characterize arterial flow. Ablation zones were excised and sectioned. A mixed-effects model was used to compare ablation zone diameter, length, area, and circularity.

Results

Combined transarterial embolization and MW ablation zones had significantly greater area (mean ± standard deviation, 11.8 cm2 ± 2.5), length (4.8 cm ± 0.5), and diameter (3.1 cm ± 0.6) compared with MW only (7.1 cm2 ± 1.9, 3.7 cm ± 0.6, and 2.4 cm ± 0.3, respectively; P = .0085, P = .0077, and P = .0267, respectively). Ablation zone circularity was similar between groups (P = .9291). The larger size of the combined ablation zones was predominantly the result of an increase in size of the peripheral noncharred zone of coagulation (1.3 cm ± 0.4 vs 0.8 cm ± 0.2; P = .0104). Cone-beam CT scans demonstrated greater gas formation during combined ablations (1.8 cm vs 1.1 cm, respectively). Mean maximum temperatures 1 cm from the MW antennas were 86.6°C and 68.7°C for the combined embolization/ablation and MW-only groups, respectively.

Conclusions

Combining transarterial embolization and MW ablation increased ablation zone diameter and area by approximately 27% and 66%, respectively, in an in vivo non–tumor-bearing porcine liver model. This is largely the result of an increase in the size of the peripheral ablation zone, which is most susceptible to local blood flow.  相似文献

Purpose

To report results of renal denervation (RDN) with the first catheter-based, non–balloon occlusion ultrasonic system in patients with resistant hypertension.

Materials and Methods

In a multicenter, single-arm trial, 39 patients with resistant hypertension (defined as uncontrolled hypertension while taking ≥ 3 antihypertensive medications) were treated. The cohort consisted of 4 groups: severe resistant hypertension (office systolic blood pressure [OSBP] ≥ 160 mm Hg) treated with a unidirectional catheter (group 1; n = 14); severe resistant hypertension treated with a multidirectional catheter (group 2; n = 18); moderate resistant hypertension (OSBP 140–159 mm Hg) treated with a multidirectional catheter (group 3; n = 5); and recurrent severe resistant hypertension, after an initial response to RF RDN (group 4; n = 2). Blood pressure monitoring was performed for 6 months.

Results

Severe adverse events were not noted immediately after the procedure or during follow-up. Treatment time was longer with unidirectional than with multidirectional catheters (36.7 min ± 9.6 vs 11.9 min ± 5.8; P < .001). Mean reductions in office blood pressure (systolic/diastolic) at 1, 3, and 6 months were ?26.1/?9.6 mm Hg, ?28.0/?9.9 mm Hg, and ?30.6/?14.1 mm Hg (P < .01 for all). Per-group analysis showed significant OSBP reduction for groups 1 and 2. Patients with isolated systolic hypertension had a significantly smaller reduction in OSBP after 6 months compared with patients with combined systolic/diastolic hypertension (?16.2 mm Hg ± 18.5 vs ?9.9 mm Hg ± 33.4; P < .005).

Conclusions

Use of the RDN system was feasible and safe in this phase I study. Significant blood pressure reductions were observed over 6 months, although less in patients with isolated systolic hypertension.  相似文献

Purpose

To evaluate efficacy and safety of superior rectal artery embolization of hemorrhoidal disease as a first-line invasive treatment.

Materials and Methods

This prospective study was conducted between 2014 and 2015 on 25 consecutive patients (16 men and 9 women with a mean age of 53 y [range, 30–76 y]) with grade II–III hemorrhoids refractory to medical treatment. A transfemoral superselective superior rectal artery branch embolization was performed using 2- and 3-mm diameter microcoils. Over the following 12 months, clinical outcomes were evaluated using the French bleeding score, Goligher prolapse score, visual analog scale (VAS) score for pain, quality-of-life score. The primary endpoint was relief of symptoms by 12 months based on a 2-point minimum improvement on VAS score and bleeding score.

Results

At 12 months after embolization, clinical success was obtained in 18 patients (72%), 8 of whom had 2 embolizations. VAS score decreased from 4.6 to 2.3 (P < .01), and bleeding score decreased from 5.5 to 2.3 (P < .01). Quality-of-life and prolapse scores also showed improvement (P < .05), and no patients experienced any early or late complications. Complete clinical failure was observed in 7 patients. After coil embolization, the collateral supply to the hemorrhoidal cushions was significantly related to any recurrence (P = .001).

Conclusions

Hemorrhoidal artery coil embolization was found to be a safe and effective treatment for grade II–III hemorrhoids.  相似文献

Purpose

To evaluate local control and survival after image-guided ablation of adrenal gland metastases.

Materials and Methods

Image-guided ablations of adrenal metastases measuring < 5 cm performed at 2 academic medical centers between July 2002 and June 2016 were analyzed. There were 51 procedures performed on 46 tumors (mean diameter 2.8 cm ± 1.1; range, 0.7–4.9 cm) in 38 patients (mean age 66 y; range, 41–80 y) with renal cell carcinoma (n = 17 patients; 45%), non–small cell lung cancer (n = 10 patients; 26%), and other primary malignancies (n = 11 patients; 29%). Treatment modalities included cryoablation (n = 30 procedures; 59%), radiofrequency ablation (n = 12 procedures; 24%) and microwave ablation (n = 9 procedures; 18%). Technical success, primary and secondary efficacy, local progression rate, local progression-free survival, and overall survival were assessed. Mean follow-up was 37 months (range, 2–128 months). Statistical analysis was performed with univariate Cox hazards regression and Kaplan-Meier analyses.

Results

Technical success, primary efficacy, and secondary efficacy were 96%, 72%, and 76%. Local progression rate during all follow-up was 25%. Local tumor progression-free survival at 1, 3, and 5 years was 82%, 69%, and 55%. Overall survival at 1, 3, and 5 years was 82%, 44%, and 34%. In 16 patients with isolated adrenal metastasis, median disease-free survival was 8 months; 4 patients had no evidence of disease during follow-up. Lung cancer was associated with decreased survival (hazard ratio 4.41, P = .002).

Conclusions

Image-guided ablation can achieve local control for adrenal metastases < 5 cm.  相似文献

Purpose

To test the hypothesis that, given the current resection eligibility criteria for colorectal liver metastasis (CLM), prior hepatectomy would be associated with improved local tumor control and survival after percutaneous ablation of CLMs.

Materials and Methods

This single-institution retrospective study included 82 consecutive patients with 97 CLMs treated with ablation (radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, or cryoablation) from January 2005 to December 2014. Local tumor progression-free survival (LTPFS), recurrence-free survival (RFS) at any organ, and overall survival (OS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method from the time of ablation and compared between patients with (n = 49) and without (n = 33) prior hepatectomy. Cox regression models were used to identify LTPFS predictors.

Results

Median overall follow-up period was 28 months (range, 4.5–132 months). Three-year actuarial LTPFS (patient level: 73% vs 34%, P < .001) was significantly higher in patients with than without prior hepatectomy, respectively. Similarly, 3-year RFS (23% vs 9.1%, P = .026) and OS (78% vs 48%, P = .003) were improved in patients with prior hepatectomy. At multivariate analysis, predictors of worse LTPFS were: no prior hepatectomy (hazard ratio [HR] 2.35, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02–5.45; P = .045), minimal ablation margin < 5 mm (HR 2.4, 95% CI 1.18–4.87; P = .016), and RAS-mutant tumor (HR 2.65, 95% CI 1.18–5.94; P = .019).

Conclusions

Prior hepatectomy for CLMs is associated with improved local tumor control after percutaneous ablation of post-resection-developed CLMs.  相似文献

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

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of portal vein embolization (PVE) with different embolic agents used at our centre. Specifically, the effectiveness of N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) glue is compared with that of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles.

Methods

We performed a retrospective chart review of all patients (N = 77) who underwent PVE at our institution over a 5-year period. Pre- and postprocedural computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, when available, were used to measure the volume of total liver volume and future liver remnant (FLR). The absolute values obtained were used to calculate percentage of FLR. The growth in FLR was determined 4–6 weeks after PVE. Technical details of the procedure including the type and amount of embolic agent used were obtained from the chart reviews, electronic patient records, and radiology reports. Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal-Wallis test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, and the Spearman correlation coefficient with post hoc analysis. Results are expressed as mean ± SD (P < .05 considered statistically significant).

Results

NBCA (n = 29) produced a mean change in FLR of 14.8% compared with 9.3% for PVA particles (n = 24; P = .007). Mean change in FLR was 10.1% in the group where a combination of NBCA and PVA particles was used (n = 24). The effect of glue volume and glue-to-lipiodol ratio on the outcome was not found to be statistically significant (P = .5 and .7, respectively).

Conclusions

We conclude that NBCA glue is a better embolic agent than PVA particles in inducing liver hypertrophy.  相似文献

Purpose

To compare safety and efficacy of vascular plugs (VPs) and fibered platinum coils (FPCs) for embolization in pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS).

Materials and Methods

A randomized, prospective, single-center study enrolled 100 women with PCS from January 2014 to January 2015. Patients were randomly assigned to 2 groups, and embolization was performed with FPCs (n = 50) or VPs (n = 50). Mean age of patients was 42.7 years ± 7.60, and mean visual analog scale (VAS) score for pelvic pain before treatment was 7.4 ± 7.60. Primary outcome (clinical success at 1 y using a VAS), number of devices, procedure and fluoroscopy times, radiation doses, costs, and complications were compared, and participants were followed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.

Results

Clinical success and subjective improvement were not significantly different at 1-year follow-up (89.7% for FPCs vs 90.6% for VPs; P = .760). Mean number of devices per case was 18.2 ± 1.33 for FPCs and 4.1 ± 0.31 for VPs (P < .001). Three FPCs and 1 VP migrated to pulmonary vasculature approximately 3–6 months after the embolization procedure; all were retrieved without complications. The FPC group had a significantly longer fluoroscopy time (33.4 min ± 4.68 vs 19.5 min ± 6.14) and larger radiation dose (air kerma 948.0 mGy ± 248.45 vs 320.7 mGy ± 134.33) (all P < .001).

Conclusions

Embolization for PCS resulted in pain relief in 90% of patients; clinical success was not affected by embolic device. VPs were associated with decreased fluoroscopy time and radiation dose.  相似文献

Purpose

To evaluate perioperative outcomes of thermal ablation with microwave (MW), radiofrequency (RF), and cryoablation for stage T1c renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Materials and Methods

A retrospective analysis of 384 patients (mean age, 71 y; range, 22–88 y) was performed between October 2006 and October 2016. Mean radius, exophytic/endophytic, nearness to collecting system or sinus, anterior/posterior, and location relative to polar lines; preoperative aspects and dimensions used for anatomic classification; and centrality index scores were 6.3, 7.9, and 2.7, respectively. Assessment of pre- and postablation serum blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and estimated glomerular filtration rate was performed to assess functional outcomes. Linear regression analyses were performed to compare sedation medication dosages among the three treatment cohorts. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to compare rates of residual disease and complications among treatment modalities.

Results

A total of 437 clinical stage T1N0M0 biopsy-proven RCCs measuring 1.2–6.9 cm were treated with computed tomography (CT)–guided MW ablation (n = 44; 10%), RF ablation (n = 347; 79%), or cryoablation (n = 46; 11%). There were no significant differences in patient demographic or tumor characteristics among cohorts. Complication rates and immediate renal function changes were similar among the three ablation modalities (P = .46 and P = .08, respectively). MW ablation was associated with significantly decreased ablation time (P < .05), procedural time (P < .05), and dosage of sedative medication (P < .05) compared with RF ablation and cryoablation.

Conclusions

CT-guided percutaneous MW ablation is comparable to RF ablation or cryoablation for the treatment of stage T1N0M0 RCC with regard to treatment response and is associated with shorter treatment times and less sedation than RF ablation or cryoablation. In addition, the safety profile of CT-guided MW ablation is noninferior to those of RF ablation or cryoablation.  相似文献

Purpose

To study the factors that might impact infarction of individual uterine leiomyomas and total tumor burden after uterine artery embolization (UAE).

Materials and Methods

This retrospective study included 91 patients (mean age, 44 y [range, 34–54 y]) who underwent UAE with tris-acryl gelatin microspheres (TAGMs) or nonspherical polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles. Twenty-one patients were treated with PVA (23%) and 70 were treated with TAGMs (77%). A total of 356 uterine leiomyomas were assessed, with a median uterine volume of 533 cm3 (range, 321–848 cm3). A reader masked to demographic and technical details reviewed contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance images before and 3 months after UAE to estimate the extent of tumor infarction.

Results

There was no significant difference in global or individual tumor infarction rate between embolizations with TAGMs and PVA particles (P = .73 and P = .3, respectively). Global infarction was not affected by age (P = .53), race (P = .12), number of leiomyomas (P = .72), or uterine volume (P = .74). Leiomyoma size did not influence individual tumor infarction (P = .41). Leiomyoma location was the sole factor that influenced individual tumor infarction rates, with pedunculated serosal tumors significantly less likely to show complete infarction than transmural tumors (odds ratio, 0.24; P = .01).

Conclusions

Nonspherical PVA particles and TAGMs produce similar rates of uterine leiomyoma infarction. Complete infarction of individual tumors is less likely in serosal and pedunculated serosal tumors.  相似文献

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

From November 2015 to May 2017, 20 patients underwent 90Y radioembolization through the RIPA. When the systemic-to-pulmonary shunt was demonstrated on C-arm computed tomography (CT) of the RIPA, prophylactic embolization by polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles was performed prior to infusion of 90Y glass microspheres. Follow-up CT scans were retrospectively reviewed for pulmonary complications. Tumor response was determined by the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors.

Results

Nine (45%) patients had systemic-to-pulmonary shunts on C-arm CT images of the RIPA. The feeder of the systemic-to-pulmonary shunt was the azygoesophageal branch (n = 7) and the anterior branch (n = 2). The mean activity of 90Y glass microspheres infused into the RIPA was 0.49 GBq (range, 0.19–1.55 GBq). No patient had symptomatic radiation pneumonitis or cutaneous complications during follow-up. Seven patients had focal atelectasis (n = 5), focal ground-glass opacity (n = 2), and/or a small amount of pleural effusion (n = 2) on follow-up image. Best tumor response fed by the RIPA was complete response (n = 4), partial response (n = 9), stable disease (n = 2), progressive disease (n = 4), and unevaluable (n = 1).

Conclusion

The administration of 90Y glass microspheres through the RIPA may be safe after embolization of a systemic-to-pulmonary shunt identified on C-arm CT.  相似文献

Purpose

To evaluate clinical outcomes and possible MR imaging predictors of clinical success after prostatic artery embolization (PAE) with 250-μm hydrogel particles.

Materials and Methods

During a span of 1.5 years, 30 patients with moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms were included in a prospective, nonrandomized study. Embolization of at least one prostatic artery was considered as technical success. International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), quality of life (QOL), peak urinary flow rate (Qmax), residual urine volume, prostate volume, prostate-specific antigen level, and International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) were recorded at baseline and at 1, 3, and 6 months after PAE. Multiparametric MR imaging was performed before PAE (n = 25) and 1 day (n = 25), 1 month (n = 7), 3 months (n = 7), and 6 months (n = 22) after intervention. A Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney test was used to assess changes over time, and Spearman rank-correlation coefficient was used for outcome prediction.

Results

PAE was technically successful in 90% of patients (n = 27). Clinical success (IPSS < 18 with decrease > 25% and QOL score < 4 with decrease ≥ 1 or Qmax ≥ 15 mL/s and increase of ≥ 3.0 mL/s) rates were 59% (16 of 27), 63% (17 of 27), and 74% (20 of 27) after 1, 3, and 6 mo, respectively. IIEF scores did not differ significantly during follow-up. The following adverse events occurred after PAE: urethral burning (5 of 27), fever (2 of 27), and urethral bleeding, rectal bleeding, cystitis, and penile burning sensation (1 of 27 each). No statistical correlations between initial multiparametric MR imaging changes and clinical parameters after 6 months were found (P values from .14 to .98).

Conclusions

PAE with 250-μm hydrogel microspheres led to good clinical success after 6 months with a low complication rate. Significant MR imaging predictors of clinical success were not identified.  相似文献
