RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is not common for hemorrhagic complications after gynecologic hysterectomy. PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of TAE for hemorrhage after hysterectomy for gynecologic diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a retrospective, multicenter study, which investigated 11 patients (median age = 45 years) who underwent TAE for hemorrhage after gynecologic hysterectomy between 2004 and 2020. RESULTS: The median interval between surgery and angiography was one day (range = 0-82 days). Hemodynamic instability and massive transfusion were present in 6 (54.5%) and 4 (36.4%) patients, respectively. CT scans (n = 7) showed contrast extravasation (n = 5), pseudoaneurysm (n = 1), or both (n = 1). On angiography, the bleeding arteries were the anterior division branches of the internal iliac artery (IIA) (n = 6), posterior division branch (lateral sacral artery, n = 1), and inferior epigastric artery (n = 1) in eight patients with active bleeding. In the remaining three patients, angiographic staining without active bleeding foci was observed at the vaginal stump, and the feeders for staining were all anterior division branches of the IIA. Technical and clinical success rates were 100% and 90.9% (10/11), respectively. In one patient, active bleeding focus was successfully embolized on angiography, but surgical hemostasis was performed for suspected bleeding on exploratory laparotomy. Postembolization syndrome occurred in one patient. CONCLUSIONS: TAE is effective and safe for hemorrhage after hysterectomy for gynecologic diseases. Angiographic findings are primarily active bleeding, but angiographic staining is not uncommon. A bleeding focus is possible in any branch of the IIA, as well as the arteries supplying the abdominal wall.

RESUMO

Six patients (mean age, 57.7 y ± 19.7) with persistent urinary fistulae underwent 7 urinary tract embolizations with AMPLATZER Vascular Plugs (AVPs) and glue: 5 with concomitant cavity obliteration with glue and 2 without. A single procedure was successful in resolving urinary leakage in 5 patients (71%) at a mean follow-up of 27.3 wk ± 31.5 (median, 9.7 wk; range, 4.9-80 wk). Repeat cavity embolization was required in 2 instances to achieve clinical success. Mean survival was 42.3 wk (median, 16.4 wk; range, 11.7-104 wk). Combined AVP and glue embolization may prove to be a primary approach in the control of persistent fistulae.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: When antegrade ureteral intervention fails due to severe ureteral stricture or tortuosity, a longer sheath can be used to facilitate ureteral catheterization. PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the use of a long sheath in antegrade ureteral stent placement after failure of antegrade ureteral stent placement using a short sheath. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Among 1284 procedures in 934 patients who received ureteral stent placement, a long sheath was used after stricture negotiation failure using a short sheath in 57 (4.4%) procedures in 53 patients. The data of these 53 patients were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: The most common reasons for long sheath use were failure of balloon catheter (59.6%) or guidewire (29.8%) advancement across the stricture. Technical success, successful stricture negotiation after using a long sheath, was achieved in 50/57 (87.7%) procedures. In two of seven failed procedures, an additional TIPS sheath was used and the technical success rate improved to 91.2% (52/57). The technical success rate was significantly higher in the patients who have failed balloon catheter advancement (97.1%, 33/34) than the patients who have failed guidewire advancement (64.7%, 11/17) (Fisher's exact test, P = 0.004). Self-limiting hematoma occurred in one patient after use of the long sheath and was considered a minor complication. CONCLUSION: Ureteral catheterization using a long sheath is feasible and effective when antegrade ureteral intervention using a short sheath fails. When using a long sheath, the technical success rate was higher when advancing the balloon catheter over the guidewire than when advancing the guidewire through tight stricture.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: While removing urinary tract foreign bodies is mostly performed through retrograde cystoscopy, antegrade removal using interventional procedures is reported less frequently. PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous antegrade removal of urinary tract foreign bodies. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 14 consecutive patients (age range 9-80 years) who percutaneous antegrade removal of urinary tract foreign bodies between January 2001 and March 2020 were reviewed. Detailed removal procedures and complications were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: Types of foreign bodies were sheared percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) catheters (n = 5), sheared double J stents (n = 3), migrated ureteral catheters (n = 3), embolization coils (n = 2), and a 0.018-inch guide wire (n = 1). The mean and median indwelling times (range 0-306 days) of the foreign bodies were 58.3 and 1.5 days, respectively. Computed tomography (CT) scans were conducted in six patients, and the extent and nature of the foreign bodies were well-visualized on CT scans. The removal access was new PCN access (n = 8), the tract missing PCN catheter (n = 3), pre-existing PCN access (n = 2), and percutaneous dissection (n = 1). The removal success rate was 92.9% (13/14) with either a simple (n = 8) or modified (n = 4; combination of a snare and guide wire is used) snare technique or a direct forceps grasp (n = 1). The mean procedure time for successful cases was 14.2 min (range 7-25 min). Procedure-related hematoma with (n = 2) or without (n = 1) renal pelvis injury occurred in three patients, which were all self-limited within one week. CONCLUSION: Percutaneous antegrade removal is safe and effective for urinary tract foreign bodies.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of transcatheter arterial embolization for controlling spontaneous hemorrhage in patients with acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD). METHODS: This retrospective study included 18 patients with ACKD (M:F=13:5; mean age, 56 years) who underwent renal artery embolization to control spontaneous hemorrhage between January 2001 and September 2020. The underlying etiology and clinical presentations were reviewed and previous computed tomography (CT) findings were analyzed. Furthermore, angiographic and embolization details, technical and clinical successes, and complications were assessed. RESULTS: Subcapsular, perirenal, and pararenal hematomas were observed on CT scans for all patients. Contrast extravasation was observed in 15 / 17 patients (88%) on contrast-enhanced CT scans. Angiography showed active bleeding in 14 patients (78%; contrast extravasation [n=6], pseudoaneurysm [n=3], and both [n=5]), suspicious bleeding in 1 (5%), and no bleeding in 3 (17%). The technical and clinical success rates were 100% and 94% (17/18), respectively. Total and partial embolization was performed in 14 (78%) and 4 (22%) cases, respectively. Subsequent surgical nephrectomy was required for one patient with clinical failure due to recurrent bleeding despite total embolization. Procedure-related complications included mild post-embolization syndrome in one patient and contrast-induced nephropathy in five patients (28%) without long-term complications. CONCLUSIONS: Renal artery embolization is safe and effective for controlling spontaneous renal hemorrhage in patients with ACKD.

RESUMO

Reports on lymphatic intervention for chylothorax complicating thoracic aortic surgery are limited. We aimed to evaluate technical and clinical outcomes of lymphangiography and thoracic duct embolization (TDE) for chylothorax complicating thoracic aortic surgery.Nine patients (mean age, 38.9 years) who underwent chylothorax interventions after thoracic aortic surgery (aorta replacement [n = 7] with [n = 2] or without [n = 5] lung resection, and vascular ring repair [n = 2]) were reviewed retrospectively. Magnetic resonance (MR) lymphangiograms were obtained in 5 patients. The median interval between surgery and conventional lymphangiography was 9 days (range, 4-28 days). TDE clinical success was defined as lymphatic leakage resolution with chest tube removal within 2 weeks.MR lymphangiograms revealed contrast leakage from the thoracic duct (n = 4) or no definite leakage (n = 1), which correlated well with conventional lymphangiogram findings. The technical success rate of conventional lymphangiography was 88.9% (8/9); 8 patients showed contrast leakage, while the patient without definite leakage on MR lymphangiography had small inguinal lymph nodes, and thoracic duct visualization by conventional lymphangiography failed. The technical success rates of antegrade and retrograde TDE via pleural access were 75% (6/8) and 100% (3/3), respectively. Clinical outcomes after embolization, as judged by the tube-removal day, were similar between low- (<500 mL/day) and high-output (≥500 mL/day) chylothorax patients. The drainage amount decreased significantly after lymphangiography/TDE, from 710.0 mL/day to 109.7 mL/day (p < .05). The clinical success rate of TDE was 87.8% (7/8).Conventional lymphangiography and TDE yielded high technical success rates and demonstrated encouraging clinical outcomes for chylothorax complicating thoracic aortic surgery.
