PURPOSE: To evaluate safety, effectiveness, and dosimetry differences between glass-based and resin-based ablative Yttrium-90 transarterial radioembolization (Y90-TARE) of hepatocellular-carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: Using mRECIST and CTCAE, both tumor-response and adverse-events (AE) were assessed at 3-months post-Y90-TARE. Post-Y90-Bremsstrahlung SPECT/CT voxel-based dosimetry analysis was used to create tumor- (TD) and normal-tissue-dose (NTD) volume-histograms, and to calculate tumor-particle-loading and specific-activity...

PURPOSE: To analyze the risk factors for access-related adverse events (AEs) of the preclose technique in thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety-one patients with type Stanford B aortic dissection underwent preclose technique in TEVAR between January 2013 to December 2021 were included. According to the occurrence of access-related AEs, the patients were divided into two groups: the with AE group and the without AE group. Age, sex, combined diseases, body mass index, skin depth, femoral artery diameter, access calcification, ilio-femoral artery tortuosity, and sheath size were recorded for risk factor analysis...

PURPOSE: To systematically review cost research in interventional radiology (IR) published since the Society of Interventional Radiology's Research Consensus Panel on Cost in December 2016. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective assessment of cost research in adult and pediatric IR since 12/2016 to 07/2022 was conducted. All cost-methodologies, services-lines, and IR modalities were screened. Analyses were reported in a standardized fashion to include service-lines, comparators, cost variables, analytical processes, and databases used...

PURPOSE: To assess long-term patency rates of cephalic arch stent-grafts in brachiocephalic fistulas and the importance of device position. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study reviewed 152 patients with dysfunctional brachiocephalic fistulas and cephalic arch stenosis treated with Viabahn stent-grafts at a single tertiary center between 2012 and 2021. Median age was 67.5 years(25 - 91) and median follow up was 637 days(3- 3368). A grading system of protrusion was applied; Grade 0=no protrusion, Grade 1=perpendicular and Grade 2=in-line protrusion...

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate technical success, feasibility, and outcomes of endovascular preservation of segmental arteries (SAs) during fenestrated /branched endovascular aortic repair (F/B-EVAR). METHODS: A multicenter, retrospective study was conducted on consecutive patients treated with F/B-EVAR and a branch or fenestration for SA preservation. Eleven patients (median age 57, range 45-73; 7 men) were included. RESULTS: Twelve SAs were preserved...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the short-term outcomes of genicular artery embolization (GAE) for knee osteoarthritis (OA) with and without bone marrow lesion (BML) and/or subchondral insufficiency fracture of the knee (SIFK). METHODS: This single-institution prospective observational pilot study analyzed 24 knees in 22 patients with mild to moderate knee OA, including 8 knees without BML, 13 knees with BML, and 3 knees with both BML and SIFK. The area and volume of BMLs on MRI images were measured before and after GAE...

PURPOSE: To assess outcomes following image-guided ablation of recurrent or unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective study, 25 patients (14 female, ages 36-84) underwent 37 image-guided liver tumor ablation procedures to treat 47 ICC tumors (May 2004-January 2022). At initial diagnosis, 20 patients had Stage 1 or 2 and five had Stage 3 or 4 disease. Prior to ablation, 19 of 25 (76.0%) patients had progressed through prior treatments including resection (n=11), chemotherapy (n=11), transarterial embolization (n=3), or radiation (n=1); six of 25 (24...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the safety and effectiveness of vena cava filters (VCFs). METHODS: A total of 1429 participants (62.7 ± 14.7 years old; 762 [53.3% male]) consented to enroll in this prospective, nonrandomized study at 54 sites in the United States between October 10, 2015, and March 31, 2019. They were evaluated at baseline and at 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months following VCF implantation. Participants whose VCFs were removed were followed for 1 month after retrieval...

PURPOSE: To assess the cost-effectiveness of the three main LRTs (transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), radioembolization (TARE), and percutaneous ablation) as bridging therapy. METHODS: A cost-effectiveness analysis was performed comparing three LRTs for patients with single ≤ 3 cm HCC over a 5-year time horizon from a payer's perspective. The clinical course, including the transplantation, decompensation resulting in delisting, and need for a second LRT, were based on data from the United Network for Organ Sharing (2016-2019)...

PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the five-year performance of a bioresorbable vascular scaffold, the REMEDY stent, for the treatment of iliac artery atherosclerotic disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical study evaluated 97 patients (97 lesions) with symptomatic TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus II A/B iliac artery lesions for five years after stent placement. The primary efficacy endpoint was 12-month primary patency compared with the prespecified standard derived from historical data with metallic stents, and the primary safety endpoint was the occurrence of major adverse clinical events within five years...

PURPOSE: This review aims to examine the reported complications associated with IVC catheterization and investigate the reasons for discrepancies between reports. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The Cochrane Library trials register, PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus databases were systematically searched for studies that included any terms for IVC and phrases related to catheters or central access. Of 5075 searched studies, 137 were included in the full-text evaluation. Of these, 37 studies were included in the systematic review, and the adverse events reported by 16 of these 37 identified studies were analyzed...
