RESUMEN

PURPOSE: We aimed to compare the diagnostic yield and procedure-related complications of two different types of systems for percutaneous CT-guided lung biopsy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: All patients with a lung lesion who underwent a CT-guided lung biopsy at our institution, between January 2019 and 2021, were retrospectively analyzed. The inclusion criteria were: (a) Procedures performed using either a fully automated tru-cut or a semi-automated full-core biopsy needle, (b) CT images demonstrating the position of the needles within the lesion, (c) histopathological result of the biopsy and (d) clinical follow-up for at least 12 months and\or surgical histopathological results. A total of 400 biopsy fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected and enrolled in the study. RESULTS: Overall technical success was 100% and diagnostic accuracy was 84%. Tru-cut needles showed a significantly higher diagnostic accuracy when compared to full-core needles (91% vs. 77%, p = 0.0004) and a lower rate of pneumothorax (31% vs. 41%, p = 0.047). Due to the statistically significant different of nodules size between the two groups, we reiterated the statistical analysis splitting our population around the 20 mm cut-off for nodule size. We still observed a significant difference in diagnostic accuracy between tru-cut and full-core needles favoring the former for both smaller and larger lesions (81% vs. 71%, p = 0.025; and 92% vs. 81%; p = 0.01, respectively). CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrated that the use of automated tru-cut needles is associated with higher histopathological diagnostic accuracy compared to semi-automated full-core needles for CTLB.

RESUMEN

Histological diagnosis is mandatory for the majority of solid lesions in the lungs in order to characterize the lesions but also to assess the response to treatment. Flexible bronchoscopy has a variable and often poor success rate in sampling pulmonary lesions which are not visible endoscopically. Such focal radiological opacities without endobronchial extension are referred to as peripheral pulmonary lesions and sampling is usually performed under guidance with computed tomography that is a safe and effective technique and became a common procedure representing an essential step for diagnosis and treatment planning. It is usually performed with an 18G or 20G coaxial needle system and several novel guidance and navigation tools may be integrated to clinical practice to offer more accurate lesion targeting. There is however still a percentage of negative sampling a recent study revealed that small lesion size, lower 18F-FDG uptake or location at the lung bases may lead to inconclusive histology. The diagnostic yield may be increased if PET/CT fusion imaging is used intraprocedurally. CT guided biopsies may also be applied in the same setup with interventions such as ablation of lung lesions offering a "one-stop" approach for such patients.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: There have been concerns about the long term safety of paclitaxel coated devices in the lower limbs. A formal systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) was performed to examine the long term risk of major amputation using paclitaxel coated balloons in peripheral arterial disease (PAD). METHOD: This systematic review was registered with PROSPERO (ID 227761). A broad bibliographic search was performed for RCTs investigating paclitaxel coated balloons in the peripheral arteries (femoropopliteal and infrapopliteal) for treatment of intermittent claudication or critical limb ischaemia (CLI). The literature search was last updated on 20 February 2021 without any restrictions on publication language, date, or status. Major amputations were analysed with time to event methods employing one and two stage models. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses, combinatorial meta-analysis, and a multivariable dose response meta-analysis to examine presence of a biological gradient were also performed. RESULTS: In all, 21 RCTs with 3 760 lower limbs were analysed (52% intermittent claudication and 48% CLI; median follow up two years). There were 87 major amputations of 2 216 limbs in the paclitaxel arms (4.0% crude risk) compared with 41 major amputations in 1 544 limbs in the control arms (2.7% crude risk). The risk of major amputation was significantly higher for paclitaxel coated balloons with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.66 (95% CI 1.14 - 2.42; p = .008, one stage stratified Cox model). The prediction interval was 95% CI 1.10 - 2.46 (two stage model). The observed amputation risk was consistent for both femoropopliteal (p = .055) and infrapopliteal (p = .055) vessels. Number needed to harm was 35 for CLI. There was good evidence of a significant non-linear dose response relationship with accelerated risk per cumulative paclitaxel dose (chi square model p = .007). There was no evidence of publication bias (p = .80) and no significant statistical heterogeneity between studies (I2 = 0%, p = .77). Results were stable across sensitivity analyses (different models and subgroups based on anatomy and clinical indication and excluding unpublished trials). There were no influential single trials. Level of certainty in evidence was downrated from high to moderate because of sparse events in some studies. CONCLUSION: There appears to be heightened risk of major amputation after use of paclitaxel coated balloons in the peripheral arteries. Further investigations are warranted urgently.

RESUMEN

A formal systematic review and study-level meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials investigating treatment of the infrapopliteal arteries with paclitaxel-coated balloons compared with conventional balloon angioplasty for critical limb ischemia (CLI) was conducted. Medical databases and online content were last screened in September 2019. The primary safety and efficacy endpoint was amputation-free survival defined as freedom from all-cause death and major amputation. Target lesion revascularization (TLR) constituted a secondary efficacy endpoint. Summary effects were synthesized with a random-effects model. Some 8 randomized controlled trials with 1,420 patients (97% CLI) were analyzed up to 1 year follow-up. Amputation-free survival was significantly worse in case of paclitaxel (13.7% crude risk of death or limb loss compared to 9.4% in case of uncoated balloon angioplasty; hazard ratio 1.52; 95% confidence interval: 1.12-2.07, p = .008). TLR was significantly reduced in case of paclitaxel (11.8% crude risk of TLR versus 25.6% in control; risk ratio 0.53; 95% confidence interval: 0.35-0.81, p = .004). The harm signal was evident when examining the high-dose (3.0-3.5 µg/mm2) devices, but attenuated below significance in case of a low-dose (2.0 µg/mm2) device. Actual causes remain largely unknown, but non-target paclitaxel embolization is a plausible mechanism.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to identify the micro-mechanical characteristics that define biopsy performance in normal ex vivo animal organs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three biopsy systems with differences of needle external diameter, tray height and effective tray length were assessed. Sampling was performed in porcine liver and kidneys with commercially labelled 14G, 16G and 18G, using 2-cm throw needle systems. Five samples were obtained per needle size and per organ, and the experiment was repeated twice for a total of 90 biopsy cores. Samples were analysed and compared in terms of macroscopic aspect, sample length, weight and tissue architecture. RESULTS: The system with the longest effective needle tray (system A) has shown significant superiority (p < 0.001) versus the other systems regarding the mean weight of tissue obtained for all needle sizes. Furthermore, the 14G needle of system A has shown superiority regarding the number of portal spaces and the 16G regarding the length of kidney fragments obtained. CONCLUSION: The outcomes obtained with the different biopsy systems were not equal. The micro-mechanical characteristic that appears to influence the quantity and quality of the obtained tissue is the effective needle tray length and not the needle external diameter or the needle tray height. This information should be taken into account in the future design of biopsy needle systems, particularly when potentially used in the assessment of biomarkers and the characterisation of tumour micro-environment. KEY POINTS: • The amount of obtained tissue mass is not the same among percutaneous biopsy needle systems. • There are different micro-mechanical characteristics that condition the amount of obtained tissue. • The micro-mechanical characteristic that offers more tissue mass for the same calibre is the effective length of the needle tray.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether the preoperative chest radiographic thoracic area in newborn infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia was related to the length of mechanical ventilation and the total length of stay and whether chest radiographic thoracic area predicted survival to discharge from neonatal care. DESIGN: Retrospective observational cohort study. SETTING: Tertiary neonatal unit at King's College Hospital National Health Service Foundation Trust, London, United Kingdom. PATIENTS: Newborn infants admitted with congenital diaphragmatic hernia at King's College Hospital in a 10-year period (2007-2017). INTERVENTIONS: The chest radiographic thoracic area was assessed by free hand tracing of the perimeter of the thoracic area as outlined by the diaphragm and the rib cage and excluded the mediastinal structures and abdominal contents in the thorax and calculated using the Sectra PACS software (Sectra AB, Linköping, Sweden). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Eighty-four infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (70 left-sided) were included with a median (interquartile range) gestation of 36 weeks (34-39 wk). Fifty-four (64%) survived to discharge from neonatal care. In the infants who survived the chest radiographic thoracic area was not related to the length of mechanical ventilation (r = 0.136; p = 0.328) or the total duration of stay (r = 0.095; p = 0.495). The median (interquartile range) chest radiographic thoracic area was higher in infants who survived (1,780 mm [1,446-2,148 mm]) compared with in the deceased infants (1,000 mm [663-1,449 mm]) after correcting for confounders (adjusted p = 0.01). Using receiver operator characteristics analysis, the chest radiographic thoracic area predicted survival to discharge from neonatal care with an area under the curve of 0.826. A chest radiographic thoracic area higher than 1,299 mm predicted survival to discharge with 85% sensitivity and 73% specificity. CONCLUSIONS: The chest radiograph in infants with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia can predict survival from neonatal care with high sensitivity and moderate specificity.

RESUMEN

Femoropopliteal atherosclerosis affects a significant percentage of the world population, leading to intermittent claudication and critical limb ischemia. The femoropopliteal segment has a unique set of biomechanical challenges that must be considered and overcome for treatment. The use of stents is a reality and a necessity in peripheral interventions. The success of first-generation femoropopliteal stents was limited by their rigidity and deformability. The standard nitinol stents overcame certain biomechanical challenges because of their superelasticity and thermal shape memory, although stent fracture is still an issue. Therefore, interwoven nitinol stents with helical structure have been developed, borrowing the concept from biliary stents, aiming to provide good flexibility while still maintaining a uniform cell size and significant radial strength. This unique interwoven structure gains it advantage in the femoropopliteal region. The purpose of this review article is to investigate the current published evidence of the use of self-expandable interwoven nitinol stents in femoropopliteal arterial disease and compare them with other endovascular treatment options.

RESUMEN

We hypothesised that extremely premature infants would have decreased muscle mass at term-corrected age compared to term-born infants and that the degree of reduced muscle mass acquisition would correlate with the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation. The MRI brain scans of infants admitted in the neonatal unit at King's College Hospital between 1 January 2010 and 1 June 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. The coronal cross-sectional area of the left deltoid muscle (DCSA) was measured in 17 infants born < 28 weeks of gestation and in 20 infants born at term. The prematurely born infants had a median (IQR) gestation age of 25 weeks (24-27) and the term infants 40 weeks (38-41). The duration of invasive mechanical ventilation for the prematurely born infants was 39 days (14-62) and that for the term infants 4 days (2-5), p < 0.001. DCSA was smaller in prematurely born infants (median 189, IQR 176-223 mm2) compared to term-born infants (median 302, IQR 236-389 mm2), p < 0.001. DCSA was related to gestation age (r = 0.545, p = 0.001), weight z-score at MRI (r = 0.658, p < 0.001) and days of invasive mechanical ventilation (r = - 0.583, p < 0.001). In conclusion, extremely premature infants studied at term had a lower muscle mass compared to term-born infants. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that prolonged mechanical ventilation in infants admitted in neonatal intensive care is associated with reduced skeletal muscle mass acquisition. What is Known: • Prolonged mechanical ventilation in adult intensive care patients has been associated with skeletal muscle dysfunction and atrophy. • The cross-sectional area of the deltoid muscle has been used to evaluate muscle atrophy in infants with a previous branchial plexus birth injury. What is New: • Premature infants studied at term exhibit lower cross-sectional area of the deltoid muscle than their term counterparts. • Prolonged mechanical ventilation could be associated with skeletal muscle impairment.

RESUMEN

Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign tumour that can cause severe pain and functional limitation to children and young adults; the treatment of choice is image-guided ablation. Due to the very small size of the lesion, detection and accurate needle placement may be challenging. Computed tomography (CT) offers very detailed imaging of the skeleton and is the modality of choice for the detection of small OO and for ablation guidance. Nevertheless, CT-guided positioning of the ablation applicator is linked to significant radiation exposure, particularly for the paediatric population. This case describes the successful use of a novel CT-based navigation system that offers the possibility of accurate ablation with only minimal radiation exposure in a paediatric patient.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To retrospectively evaluate safety and efficacy of pelvic artery embolisation (PAE) in post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) in abnormal placental implantation (API) deliveries. METHODS: From January 2009 to November 2013, 12 patients with API and intractable intraoperative PPH underwent PAE after caesarean delivery to control a haemorrhage (in four of these cases after hysterectomy). Arterial access was obtained prior to the delivery; PAE was performed in the obstetrics operating room by an interventional radiologist that was present with an interventional radiology (IR) team during the delivery. RESULTS: PAE was successful in preventing bleeding and avoid hysterectomy in four cases (group A). Uterine atony and disseminated intravascular coagulation caused failure of PAE requiring hysterectomy in four patients (group B). PAE prevented bleeding post-hysterectomy in the remaining four cases (group C). Technical success (cessation of contrast extravasation on angiography or occlusion of the selected artery) was 100 %. Maternal and foetal mortality and morbidity were 0 %. CONCLUSIONS: PAE is a minimal invasive technique that may help to prevent hysterectomy and control PPH in API pregnancies without complications. Embolisation should be performed on an emergency basis. For such cases, an IR team on standby in the obstetrics theatre may be useful to prevent hysterectomy, blood loss and limit morbidity. KEY POINTS: • Endovascular treatment is a validated technique in post-partum haemorrhage. • Abnormal placental implantation is a risk factor for post-partum haemorrhage. • We propose an interventional radiologist standby in the delivery room.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) on ultrasound guided high intensity focused ultrasound (USgHIFU) ablation of uterine fibroids. METHODS: Thirty-three patients (37 fibroids) were randomly assigned to two groups: group A (17 patients, 20 fibroids) in which CEUS was used before, during and after HIFU treatment, and group B (16 patients, 17 fibroids) in which CEUS was not administered at all. Follow-up including contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a clinical questionnaire was performed, and technical success, ablation efficacy, volume reduction and complications were assessed. RESULTS: Technical success was 100% in both groups. CEUS revealed residual enhancement in 40% of the patients in group A and the treatment was continued until the completion of ablation. MRI at 1 month after treatment revealed significant difference in the relative fibroid volume reduction rate between the two groups: 16.1% in group A versus 4.8%, in group B (p = 0.01). There was no statistically significant relative volume reduction rate for the results at 3, 6 and 12 months and no significant changes in the quality of life results or the complication rate. CONCLUSIONS: CEUS was safe and effective in enhancing US guidance during HIFU ablation of uterine fibroids. Moreover, the use of CEUS during HIFU sonication increased the ablation efficacy, leading to a more relevant fibroid volume reduction at 1 and 3 months. This gap disappeared after 6 months, when there were no differences between the two groups of patients at MRI. However, in our experience, USgHIFU represented a very effective method for the treatment of uterine fibroids, and the use of CEUS during HIFU procedure reduced the treatment time and treatment repetitions for incomplete fibroid ablation.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Application of self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) to treat patients suffering from malignant gastroduodenal outlet obstruction (GDOO) is today considered a well-recognized palliative treatment. Use of SEMS has emerged as an attractive alternative to surgical treatment of such patients. PURPOSE: To report the immediate and the mid-term clinical outcomes from a series of consecutive patients treated with exclusively fluoroscopic-guided insertion of SEMS. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was a retrospective study including patients suffering from GDOO that were either ineligible for or unwilling to undergo surgery. Patients with potentially curable disease, uncorrectable coagulopathy, gastrointestinal perforation, sepsis, presence of distal small bowel obstruction, and bowel ischemia were excluded. Technical success, clinical success, and major complications were calculated. In addition, stent migration, stent re-obstruction, restenosis, and overall re-interventions due to recurrent symptoms were considered. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used for patient survival estimation while both bivariable and multivariable analysis were performed to identify any independent predictors of outcomes. RESULTS: Fifty-one patients, (mean age, 63.73 ± 15.62 years) met the study's criteria and were included in the final analysis. Technical and clinical success were 90.19% (n = 46/51) and 91.30% (n = 42/46), respectively. Major complications rate was 3.92%. Stent migration was noted in four cases. Restenosis and re-obstruction rates were 19.57% and 10.87%, respectively. No cases of peri-procedural mortality were noted, while Kaplan-Meier estimates for 1- and 2-year survival were 16.8% and 7.2%, respectively. Clinically successful cases and patients with primary GI tumor were related with more favorable survival compared to unsuccessful and patients suffering from GDOO due to extrinsic compression by neoplastic or lymph node disease. CONCLUSION: Exclusively fluoroscopically inserted SEMS for GDOO is safe and highly effective method for palliative treatment.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown the superiority of some of these technologies over balloon angioplasty, but direct comparisons between these treatment options are lacking. The authors conducted a network meta-analysis of RCTs comparing bare nitinol stents, covered nitinol stents, paclitaxel- or sirolimus-eluting stents (PES or SES), and paclitaxel-coated balloons (PCB) with plain balloon angioplasty or with each other in the femoropopliteal artery (PROSPERO registry: CRD42013004845). METHODS: Sixteen RCTs comprising 2532 patients with 4227 person-years of follow-up were analyzed on an intention-to-treat basis. Bayesian random effects Poisson and binomial models were used for mixed treatment comparisons (WinBUGS). Clinical heterogeneity was accounted for by incorporating a meta-regression model on trial-specific baseline risk. End points included technical success, vascular restenosis, target lesion revascularization, and major amputations. Pairwise odds ratios and rate ratios (ORs and RRs) of absolute treatment effects were calculated, and the probabilities of each treatment being best are reported. Summary estimates are reported as the posterior median and associated credible intervals (CrIs) that serve the same purpose as confidence intervals in the context of the Bayesian framework. Extensive sensitivity, meta-regression, and network consistency analyses were performed to evaluate heterogeneity. RESULTS: Technical success was highest with covered stents (pooled OR, 13.6; 95% CrI, 3.3-31.1, probability best 82%) followed by uncovered stents (pooled OR, 7.0; 95% CrI, 2.6-129, probability best 18%) when compared with balloon angioplasty (reference treatment). Vascular restenosis was lowest with PES (RR, 0.43; 95% CrI, 0.16-1.18, probability best 45%) followed by PCB (RR, 0.43; 95% CrI, 0.26-0.67, probability best 42%). Target lesion revascularization was lowest with PCB (RR, 0.36; 95% CrI, 0.23-0.55, probability best 56%) followed by PES (RR, 0.42; 95% CrI, 0.16-1.06, probability best 33%). Major amputations were rare in all treatment and control groups (pooled amputation rate of 0.7 events per 100 person-years). CONCLUSIONS: Immediate technical success is better with the use of covered stents, whereas paclitaxel-eluting stents and paclitaxel-coated balloons offer the best long-term results in the femoropopliteal artery.

RESUMEN

Endovascular procedures for the management of the superficial femoral (SFA) and popliteal artery disease are increasingly common. Over the past decade, several stent technologies have been established which may offer new options for improved clinical outcomes. This paper reviews the current evidence for SFA and popliteal artery angioplasty and stenting, with a focus on randomized trials and registries of nitinol self-expanding stents, drug-eluting stents, dug-coated balloons, and covered stent-grafts. We also highlight the limitations of the currently available data and the future routes in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) stent and balloon technology.

RESUMEN

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a significant contributor to global cardiovascular-related mortality that mainly depends on the severity of the event. The treatment approach for intermediate and high-risk PE remains a topic of debate due to the fine balance between hemodynamic deterioration and bleeding risk. The initial treatment choice for intermediate-risk PE with hemodynamic deterioration and high-risk PE is historically systemic thrombolysis, but this approach is not always effective and carries a notable risk of severe bleeding. For such patients, various interventional treatments have been introduced to clinical practice, including catheter-directed lysis (CDL), ultrasound-assisted CDL, pharmacomechanical CDL, and aspiration thrombectomy. However, the optimal treatment approach remains uncertain. Encouraging outcomes have been presented assessing the novel endovascular treatments, in terms of reducing right ventricular dysfunction and improving hemodynamic stability, opening the possibility of using these devices to prevent hemodynamic instability in less severe cases. However, ongoing randomized trials that assess the efficacy and the association with mortality, especially for aspiration devices, have not yet published their final results. This article aims to offer a comprehensive update of the available catheter-directed therapies for PE, with a focus on novel mechanical thrombectomy techniques, assessing their safety and efficacy, after comparison to the conventional treatment. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: This is a comprehensive review of the indications of use, techniques, and clinical outcomes of the most novel endovascular devices for the treatment of pulmonary embolism. KEY POINTS: Mechanical thrombectomy is an effective tool for patients with PE. Aspiration devices prevent hemodynamic deterioration. Catheter directed therapy reduces bleeding complications.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Endovascular treatment of visceral and renal artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms is an effective, minimally invasive treatment that has been successfully used since the early 1990s, with refined and expanded techniques and tools currently offering excellent outcomes. Due to increased detection of such lesions in recent years, many of which are asymptomatic, revision of the indications for intervention and the correct endovascular treatment approaches has become essential. PURPOSE: This document will presume that the indication for treatment is clear and approved by the multidisciplinary team and will define the standards required for the performance of each intervention, as well as their relative advantages and limitations. CIRSE Standards of Practice documents are not intended to impose a standard of clinical patient care, but recommend a reasonable approach to, and best practices for, the performance of the endovascular treatment of visceral and renal artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms. METHODS: The writing group was established by the CIRSE Standards of Practice Committee and consisted of five clinicians with internationally recognised expertise in endovascular treatments. The writing group reviewed the existing literature on visceral and renal artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms, performing an evidence search using PubMed to identify publications in English and relating to human subjects from 1990 to 2022. The final recommendations were formulated through consensus. RESULTS: Endovascular treatment has an established role in the successful management of visceral and renal artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms, and this Standards of Practice document provides up-to-date recommendations for its safe performance.

RESUMEN

Bariatric surgery may sometimes be challenging and may lead to severe complications. Surgical re-intervention in such cases is not the preferred option due to co-morbidities. When severe bleeding occurs, embolization of the lacerated vessels is the preferred minimal invasive management option and needs to be available if possible. We would like to report a case of young patient who underwent severe bleeding after migration of a gastric band. The patient was successfully embolized and the band was removed. However, on the second post-operative day, the patient complained again for acute abdominal pain and turned haemodynamically unstable. Fresh blood was aspirated from the surgical drain. A new emergency CT scan was performed and a new large pseudoaneurysm was revealed taking origin from the left gastric artery. The second bleeding occurred due to an anastomotic communication and was also successfully embolized. The main take home messages are that bariatric surgery may lead to several complications including bleeding, gastric band may cause vessel erosion but also offer a tamponade effect, endovascular embolization of the lacerated vessels is the preferred management and pseudoaneurysms arising in hepato-splenic or gastroduodenal arteries should be treated with the sandwich embolization technique.
