An interdisciplinary approach to IVC filter removal may allow discussions of filter removal and strategies to prevent chronic venous insufficiency. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of a novel Interventional Radiology/Vascular Medicine IVC filter clinic on retrieval rate and rates of counseling on chronic venous insufficiency.Between 10/1/2009 and 9/19/2012 1011 patients received...
TIPS is an effective treatment for portal hypertension. Using fluoroscopic guidance, the target portal vein (PV) is only visible during a CO2 portogram, which cannot be used during PV access. Software has been developed to provide intra-procedural 3D needle guidance from 2 CO2 portograms. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the utility of this software in creating TIPS shunts.In 40 patients...
To demonstrate the use of Cone beam CT guidance.To plan the tract for TIPS to the SMV.To demonstrate the techniques of software analysis to aide in TIPS creation where no Portal vein exists.Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) placement has been proven effective in lowering portal venous pressure, thereby reducing complications in patients with portal hypertension(1) and it also reconstructs...
To share our experience with the use of detachable hydrocoils for visceral and peripheral embolization procedures (VPEP), technical success and difficulties. Besides a study of 11 patients by Nambiar et al (1), there is no large study in literature about usage of hydrocoils in VPEP.From March 2008 to April 2011, 61 patients (34 males, 27 females); 16-86 years old (mean 57.6)) underwent VPEP with detachable...
To retrospectively evaluate the safety and retrievability of the Celect IVC filter.All patients undergoing Celect filter placement and retrieval between 2007 and 2012 were assessed for complications and retrievability.Of 690 patients who had Celect filter placement, 143 presented for removal. The indwelling time in these patients was 176.2 ± 150.3 days (range, 2-1413 d). A total of 125 filters (87...
