To compare the periprocedural and 5-year outcomes between patients with very severe stenosis (80%–99% stenosis) and those with carotid near occlusion (CNO) with full collapse ..read more

This study compared the recurrence rate of gastrojejunal (GJ) tube-related intussusceptions managed with temporary tube removal for “bowel rest” versus immediate tube exchange. The secondary aim was to compare the time to recurrence between the two management groups. A total of 92 episodes in 56 pediatric patients were analyzed, with demographics, tube characteristics, and interventions recorded. Recurrence rates were compared using the Chi-squared test, and time to recurrence was analyzed with the Kaplan-Meier method ..read more

Tumor encasement and/or infiltration of major arteries is typically considered a contraindication to surgical resection. This study evaluates the feasibility and safety of transarterial soft tissue ablation by irreversible electroporation (IRE) using a prototype novel non-occlusive catheter-mounted electrode in a porcine model ..read more

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly prevalent within interventional radiology (IR) research studies, steps must be taken to ensure the robustness of novel technological systems presented in peer-reviewed literature. This report presents an evaluation checklist (iCARE) which has been customized to cover the application of modern AI methods in IR-specific contexts. The iCARE checklist encompasses the full pipeline of AI development, including dataset curation, pre-training, task-specific training, explainability, privacy protection, bias mitigation, reproducibility and model dep ..read more

To investigate the effectiveness of ethiodized oil lymphangiography and TIPS creation in cirrhosis-related chylous ascites, ten patients were included between January 2019 and December 2023. After the failure of conservative treatment, patients received ethiodized oil lymphangiography to identify and embolize the chylous leakage first, and then the TIPS procedure was conducted. Symptoms of chylous leakage were not controlled after ethiodized oil lymphangiography, including patients’ weight increase, abdominal circumference increase, and serum albumin level decrease ..read more

To evaluate the safety and degree of pain relief of three rapidly biodegraded embolic materials, including imipenem/cilastatin (IPM/CS), quick-soluble gelatin sponge particles (QS-GSPs), and resorbable microsphere (RMs), in transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for degenerative, inflammatory, and overuse joint disorders ..read more

Prostate artery embolization (PAE) is performed in a variety of settings including hospitals and office-based laboratories (OBLs). In this study we evaluated 175 PAE procedures performed in the hospital and OBL to identify differences in outcomes and procedure times ..read more
