Therapeutic Cerebral Embolization

Archives of Neurology, 1986
One of the most distressing duties of a physician is to tell a patient who has bled from a cerebral arteriovenous malformation that nothing can be done to prevent a recurrence. The development of angiographically controlled embolization of arteriovenous malformations has opened a new therapeutic avenue for inoperable cases. To innovate is to challenge

Therapeutic management of acute pulmonary embolism

Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine, 2017
Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially fatal manifestation of venous thromboembolism. Prompt anticoagulant treatment is crucial for PE patients, which can decrease morbidity and mortality. Risk assessment is the cornerstone of the therapeutic management of PE. It guides physicians to the most appropriate treatment and selects patients for early

Colonic ischemic necrosis following therapeutic embolization

Gastrointestinal Radiology, 1981
Transcatheter embolization of the middle colic artery for diverticular bleeding was followed by ischemic necrosis in the transverse colon at the site of previous anastomosis and stricture formation. This is a potential complication of intra-arterial embolization for colonic bleeding.

Therapeutic Embolization of Renal Cell Carcinoma

European Urology, 1977
The technique of embolization of renal cell carcinoma is assessed on the basis of the authors' experience. The procedure is usually envisaged in case of hypervascularized extracapsular tumors, with the purpose of obtaining the preoperative occlusion of the renal artery.

Therapeutic Embolization for Intractable Chronic Bleeding

Radiology, 1977
Intractable, chronic vaginal and/or vesicle bleeding complicating pelvic cancers in five women was treated by transcatheter embolization of the hypogastric artery or its branches. Bleeding was presumed to be from hypervascular granulation tissue formed in response to irradiation in two patients and from tumor tissue in three. The embolic materials were

Fatal Air Embolism in Therapeutic Pneumoperitoneum

Diseases of the Chest, 1956
Introduction of air into the peritoneal cavity by means of needle puncture is an old procedure. It has been used for local treatment of tubercubous peritonitis as early as 1893, as a diagnostic procedure since 1902 and for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis since 1933.

Therapeutic embolization of aneurysmal bone cyst

Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology, 1989
Results of therapeutic embolization of aneurysmal bone cysts in five patients are described. Transcatheter arterial embolization was performed with Ivalon and Gelfoam particles and Gianturco coils. The postembolization period was characterized by complete relief of pain and decrease in size of the aneurysmal bone cyst in all patients. In patients whose

Therapeutic Ivalon embolization of hepatic tumors

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1982
Ivalon particles were used for 80 hepatic artery embolizations in 50 patients who had either primary or metastatic hepatic neoplasms. Ten patients died within 1-5 months and the remaining 40 patients were still alive. The post-hepatic embolization syndrome was identical to that following Gelfoam embolization.

Therapeutic Embolization of Facial Arteriovenous Fistulae

Radiology, 1979
Two cases of percutaneous transfemoral embolization of facial hemangiomas and arteriovenous (AV) malformations are reported. In both cases, Ivalon shavings were injected through a percutaneously placed catheter to permanently occlude peripheral feeders of the AV malformation. In one case, because of the size of the large venous sacs associated with the

Therapeutic aspects of fat embolism syndrome

Injury, 2006
Signs and symptoms of clinical fat embolism syndrome (FES) usually begin within 24-48 hours after trauma. The classic triad involves pulmonary changes, cerebral dysfunction, and petechial rash. Clinical diagnosis is key because laboratory and radiographic diagnosis is not specific and can be inconsistent.
