Thyroid Artery Erosion by Esophageal Cancer: Management with Interventional Radiology

Management of upper gastrointestinal bleeding because of erosion of vessels by esophageal cancer may be challenging. We present herein the angiographic images of a 49-year-old patient who was admitted with massive bleeding from a tumor-eroded inferior thyroid artery. Attempts to control the bleeding by means of flexible endoscopy and insertion of a Sengstaken–Blakemore tube had failed. The diagnosis was impressively demonstrated by multislice computed tomography with intravenous contrast in the arterial phase and multiplanar reconstructions (computed tomography angiography) and by digital subtraction angiography. The bleeding was successfully treated with superselective catheterization and coiling of the eroded vessel.     

在深静脉血栓—肺栓塞病程中腔静脉滤器的应用价值分析

目的：探讨腔静脉滤器(Vena cava filter VCF)在深静脉血栓(Deep venous thrombosis DVT)—肺栓塞(Pulmonary embolism PE)病程中的应用价值。方法：结合本组25例高危深静脉血栓一肺栓塞患者，对其中24例置放5种构型的永久型或临时型下腔静脉滤器(IVCF)26枚的临床疗效、影响病程与预后因素及病生理改变，复习文献分析讨论。结果：DVT有可能脱落导致PE或致死性肺栓塞；置放IVCF可有效预防肺栓塞，早期进行溶栓治疗，改变预后。结论：严格按适应证植入IVCF，对DVT—PE的早期治疗和预防致死性肺栓塞有重要意义，但其应用价值需进行综合评价和进一步探讨。     

Renal Cell Carcinoma in a Horseshoe Kidney and Preoperative Superselective Renal Artery Embolization: A Case Report

Only rarely is renal cell carcinoma encountered in a horseshoe kidney. This is a case report on renal cell carcinoma in a horseshoe kidney, in which superselective renal artery embolization was performed preoperatively. CT and digital subtraction angiography revealed a horseshoe kidney with a 3-cm tumor in the left side. Superselective renal artery embolization of the tumor was performed as a prerequisite procedure for the organ-preserving surgery of simple enucleation. Preoperative superselective renal artery embolization can be an effective tool to facilitate organ-preserving surgery in a horseshoe kidney.     

经皮肾囊穿刺封闭术治疗难治性肾病综合征临床研究

目的　探讨介入疗法对难治性肾病综合征 (RNS)的疗效。方法　将 6 4例RNS随机分为A ,B两组 ,A组 32例 ,经皮肾囊穿刺向每一肾脂肪囊 (肾囊 )内注入 2 %利多卡因 ,每周 2次 ,同时口服强的松、洛汀新、潘生丁等治疗 ,B组 32例 ,应用强的松、洛汀新、潘生丁等治疗。结果　A组总有效率为 84 .4 % ,B组为 6 5 .6 % ,两组比较 (P <0 .0 5 ) ,A组 1年内复发率低 ,为 2 9.6 % ,B组为 71.4 % ,比较两组 (P <0 .0 1)。结论　利多卡因经皮肾囊内穿刺注射封闭疗法是目前治疗RNS最有效的方法之一 ,值得临床进一步的推广应用。     

肝血管瘤的介入治疗(附32例报告)

目的:总结超选择性动脉栓塞治疗肝血管瘤的经验。方法:对介入治疗的32例肝血管瘤患者进行回顾性分析;同时亦对血管瘤的影像学检查方法进行比较。结果:血管瘤供血动脉超选择性插管操作成功率100%,栓塞后28例见周边碘油呈棉团状沉积,4例显示环状碘油沉积。术前血管瘤最大直径为(8.5±2.3)cm,术后6个月血管瘤最大直径为(6.4±1.8)cm,术后12个月血管瘤最大直径为(4.3±1.8)cm,未出现严重的栓塞综合征反应。各种影像学均能明确血管瘤的诊断,增强CT扫描直观显示血管瘤血液动力学特点。结论:术前增强CT扫描显示的血液动力学特征有助于预期疗效评价,经导管栓塞治疗肝血管瘤疗效稳定,创伤小,复发率及经济费用低。     

Petrous internal carotid aneurysm causing epistaxis: balloon embolization with preservation of the parent vessel

Summary A patient with severe, recurrent posterior epistaxis was shown at angiography to have an aneurysm of the petrous portion of the internal carotid artery (ICA). Since childhood, she had had pain related to eustachian tube blockage by the aneurysm. An endovascular balloon embolization of the aneurysm was successful with preservation of the parent artery. The treatment resulted in resolution of the symtpoms. The report confirms the usefulness of an angiographic protocol in evaluating vascular problems.     

肾动脉狭窄支架植入术的临床疗效观察

目的探讨肾动脉狭窄支架植入术的临床疗效.方法1997年1月～2004年12月,我院行支架介入治疗肾动脉狭窄27例.对27例术前、术后及随访期内血压、肾功能以及生活质量进行评估,并与同期单纯药物治疗肾动脉狭窄27例进行比较.结果介入组27例植入支架40枚,手术成功24例(88.9%,24/27),失败3例(11.1%,3/27),手术并发症5例(18.5%,5/27).术后在血压下降(包括收缩压舒张压)肌酐下降,肾小球滤过率增加方面,介入组获益率明显优于药物组,两组比较差异均有显著性,术后随访6个月～8年6个月,中位数为1年9个月,介入组有19例能比较健康的生活和工作,药物组仅12例能维持生活和工作.结论支架介入治疗较单纯药物治疗肾动脉狭窄疗效显著.     

布-加氏综合症介入放射学治疗

目的　探讨布 -加氏综合征不同类型的介入放射学治疗效果。方法　 1例患者经下腔静脉造影后采用球囊成形术 ,其余 3例均造影后行球囊成形 支架置入术。结果　 1例膜型梗阻经球囊成形术后治愈 ,2例节段型梗阻患者经球囊成形术后分别置入“Z型支架 ,1例肝静脉型置入wallstent支架治愈。结论　介入放射学在诊治布 -加氏综合征方面是一种独特、有效的方法。
