PURPOSEWe aimed to assess the efficacy of a dedicated inferior vena cava (IVC) filter retrieval program on filter retrieval rates and number of patients lost to follow-up.METHODSA dedicated IVC filter retrieval program began in July 2016. This consisted of tracking all patients with retrievable filters placed by interventional radiology (IR). At the time of filter placement, patients were scheduled for a retrieval consult in the IR clinic. Any missed appointments were followed up by a physician assistant. The program was overseen by a single IR physician. To assess this program's efficacy, we reviewed the records of all patients who had retrievable IVC filters placed by IR nine months prior to and nine months after program initiation. Demographics and clinical factors were then collected and compared. A P value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.RESULTSPrior to the program, 76 patients (31 males, 45 females; mean age, 64.2 years) had retrievable filters placed; 75% were placed due to a contraindication to anticoagulation. From this group, five filters were removed (6.6%), 42 patients were lost to follow-up (55.3%), 22 patients died (29.0%), and seven filters were deemed permanent by a physician after placement (9.2%). All five retrievals were successful and no complications were reported. After program initiation, 106 patients (59 males, 47 females; mean age, 58.8 years) had retrievable filters placed; 75.5% were placed due to a contraindication to anticoagulation. In this group, 30 filters were retrieved (retrieval rate 28.3%), 17 patients were lost to follow-up (16%), 23 patients died (21.7%), 28 filters were deemed permanent by a physician after placement (26.4%), and decisions were still pending in eight patients (7.5%). One patient (3.3%) had a minor complication during filter retrieval. Initiation of a filter retrieval program increased our retrieval rate (6.6% vs. 28.3%; P < 0.001) and reduced the number of patients with filters that were lost to follow-up (55.3% vs. 16%; P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONDedicated filter retrieval program is effective in increasing filter retrieval rates and decreasing the number of patients lost to follow-up.
目的:评价下腔静脉专用滤器回收方案对滤器回收率和失访患者数量的影响。方法2016年7月启动专用IVC滤网检索项目。这包括跟踪所有通过介入放射学(IR)放置可回收滤光片的患者。在过滤器放置的时候,患者被安排在IR诊所进行检索咨询。任何错过的预约都由医师助理跟进。该项目由一名IR医生监督。为了评估该计划的疗效,我们回顾了所有患者的记录,这些患者在计划开始前9个月和计划开始后9个月使用IR放置的可回收的IVC过滤器。然后收集和比较人口统计学和临床因素。P值< 0.05认为有统计学意义。结果项目实施前,76例患者(男31例,女45例;平均年龄64.2岁)放置可回收过滤器;75%是由于抗凝禁忌而放置的。在该组中,5个滤镜被移除(6.6%),42例患者失去随访(55.3%),22例患者死亡(29.0%),7个滤镜在放置后被医生认为是永久性的(9.2%)。5例拔牙均成功,无并发症报道。项目启动后,106例患者(男59例,女47例;平均年龄58.8岁)放置可回收过滤器;75.5%因抗凝禁忌而放置。在该组中,30个过滤器被检索(检索率28.3%),17例患者失去随访(16%),23例患者死亡(21.7%),28例过滤器在放置后被医生认为是永久性的(26.4%),8例患者(7.5%)仍未决定。1例(3.3%)患者在取滤器过程中出现轻微并发症。过滤器检索程序的启动提高了检索率(6.6% vs. 28.3%;P < 0.001),并减少了丢失随访的过滤器患者数量(55.3% vs. 16%;P < 0.001)。结论专用滤器检索方案可有效提高滤器检索率,减少失访人数。

The association between immunoglobulin IgG4 and autoimmune pancreatitis was first shown in 2001. Since then many previously established fibrosclerotic diseases demonstrating synchronous or metachronous multiorgan involvement have been included within the ambit of IgG4-related disease. Diagnostic criteria have been proposed involving 1) serum IgG4 level elevated beyond 135 mg/dL, 2) IgG4+ to IgG+ plasma cell ratio >40% and >10 IgG4+ cells per high power field of biopsy sample and 3) a constellation of imaging features which involve a variety of organ systems. We present a pictorial essay demonstrating the spectrum of imaging findings for IgG4-related disease, including dacryosialadenitis, variety of renal lesions, tumefactive thickening of the extraocular muscles and orbital nerve, sclerosing cholangitis, and type I pancreatitis. Imaging plays an important role in diagnosis, screening for multiorgan involvement, and follow-up of the disease.

PURPOSETo evaluate the feasibility, accuracy and complications of CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (PTNB) of cavitary lesions.METHODSConsecutive PTNB procedures in an academic institution over a 4 year period were reviewed, 53 of which were performed on patients with cavitary lesions The demographic data of patients, lesion characteristics, biopsy technique and complications, initial pathological results and final diagnosis were reviewed. A final diagnosis was established through surgical correlation, microbiology or clinico-radiologic follow-up for at least 18 months after biopsy.RESULTSThe overall accuracy of PTNB was 81%. In 33 patients (62%) the cavitary lesion was found to be malignant (23 lung cancers and 10 metastases). The sensitivity and specificity for malignancy was 91% and 100%, respectively. In 20 patients (38%) a benign etiology was established (16 infections and 4 non-infectious etiologies), with PTNB demonstrating a sensitivity of 81% and specificity of 100% for infection. Wall thickness at the biopsy site, lesion in lower lobe, and malignancy were significant independent risk factors for diagnostic success. Minor complications occurred in 28% of cases: 13 pneumothoraces (5 requiring chest tube), 1 small hemothorax, and 1 mild hemoptysis. A non-significant higher chest tube insertion rate was seen in cavities with a thinner wall.CONCLUSIONPTNB of cavitary lesions provides high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity for both malignancy and infection and has an acceptable complication rate. Wall thickness at the biopsy site, lesion in lower lobe, and malignancy were significant independent risk factors for diagnostic success. Samples for microbiology should be obtained in all patients, especially in the absence of on-site cytology, due to the high prevalence of infection in cavitary lesions.
目的探讨ct引导下经皮经胸穿刺活检(PTNB)治疗腔内病变的可行性、准确性及并发症。方法回顾某学术机构4年来连续行PTNB手术的53例空腔病变患者的人口学资料、病变特征、活检技术及并发症、初始病理结果和最终诊断。最终诊断是通过手术相关性、微生物学或活检后至少18个月的临床放射学随访确定的。结果PTNB的总体准确度为81%。在33例(62%)患者中,腔体病变为恶性(23例为肺癌,10例为转移)。对恶性肿瘤的敏感性和特异性分别为91%和100%。在20例(38%)患者中,确定了良性病因(16例感染和4例非感染性病因),PTNB对感染的敏感性为81%,特异性为100%。活检部位的壁厚、下肺叶病变和恶性程度是诊断成功的重要独立危险因素。28%的病例出现轻微并发症:13例气胸(5例需要胸管),1例小血胸,1例轻度咯血。在壁较薄的空腔中,胸管插入率不明显升高。结论ptnb对腔内病变的恶性和感染均具有较高的准确性、敏感性和特异性,并发症发生率可接受。活检部位的壁厚、下肺叶病变和恶性程度是诊断成功的重要独立危险因素。所有患者都应获得微生物学样本,特别是在没有现场细胞学检查的情况下,因为空洞病变中感染的发生率很高。

PURPOSETo evaluate the quality of chest CT images obtained with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) using three iterative reconstruction (IR) algorithms.METHODSTwo 64-detector spiral CT scanners (HDCT, iCT) were used to scan a chest phantom containing 6 ground-glass nodules (GGNs) at 11 radiation dose levels. CT images were reconstructed by FBP or three IR algorithms. Reconstructed images were analyzed for CT values, average noise, contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) values, subjective image noise, and diagnostic acceptability of the GGNs. Repeated-measures analysis of variance was used for statistical analyses.RESULTSAverage noise decreased and CNR increased with increasing radiation dose when the same reconstruction algorithm was applied. Image average noise reconstructed with MBIR was significantly lower than reconstructed with iDOSE4 at the same low radiation doses. The two radiologists showed good interobserver consistency in image quality with kappa 0.83. A significant relationship was found between image noise and diagnostic acceptability of the GGNs.CONCLUSIONThree IR algorithms are able to reduce the image noise and improve the image quality in LDCT. In the same radiation dose, the LDCT images quality reconstructed with MBIR algorithms is better than that of other IR algorithms.
目的使用三种迭代重建(IR)算法评估低剂量计算机断层扫描(LDCT)获得的胸部CT图像的质量。方法采用两台64探测器螺旋CT扫描仪(HDCT,iCT)在11个辐射剂量水平下扫描一个包含6个磨玻璃结节(GGN)的胸部模型。CT图像采用FBP或三种IR算法重建。分析重建图像的CT值、平均噪声、对比噪声比(CNR)值、主观图像噪声和GGN的诊断可接受性。重复测量方差分析用于统计分析。结果当采用相同的重建算法时,随着辐射剂量的增加,平均噪声降低,CNR增加。在相同的低辐射剂量下,用MBIR重建的图像平均噪声显著低于用iDOSE4重建的图像。两位放射科医生在图像质量方面显示出良好的观察者间一致性,kappa为0.83。图像噪声与GGNs的诊断可接受性之间存在显著关系。结论三种IR算法能够降低图像噪声,提高LDCT的图像质量。在相同辐射剂量下,MBIR算法重建的LDCT图像质量优于其他IR算法。

Radiomics is a relatively new word for the field of radiology, meaning the extraction of a high number of quantitative features from medical images. Artificial intelligence (AI) is broadly a set of advanced computational algorithms that basically learn the patterns in the data provided to make predictions on unseen data sets. Radiomics can be coupled with AI because of its better capability of handling a massive amount of data compared with the traditional statistical methods. Together, the primary purpose of these fields is to extract and analyze as much and meaningful hidden quantitative data as possible to be used in decision support. Nowadays, both radiomics and AI have been getting attention for their remarkable success in various radiological tasks, which has been met with anxiety by most of the radiologists due to the fear of replacement by intelligent machines. Considering ever-developing advances in computational power and availability of large data sets, the marriage of humans and machines in future clinical practice seems inevitable. Therefore, regardless of their feelings, the radiologists should be familiar with these concepts. Our goal in this paper was three-fold: first, to familiarize radiologists with the radiomics and AI; second, to encourage the radiologists to get involved in these ever-developing fields; and, third, to provide a set of recommendations for good practice in design and assessment of future works.
放射组学是放射学领域的一个相对较新的词汇,意思是从医学图像中提取大量定量特征。人工智能(AI)广义上是一套先进的计算算法,它基本上可以学习所提供数据中的模式,从而对未见过的数据集做出预测。放射组学可以与人工智能相结合,因为与传统的统计方法相比,放射组学处理大量数据的能力更好。总之,这些字段的主要目的是提取和分析尽可能多的有意义的隐藏定量数据,以便在决策支持中使用。如今,放射组学和人工智能都因在各种放射任务中取得的显著成功而备受关注,但由于担心被智能机器取代,大多数放射科医生都感到焦虑。考虑到计算能力的不断发展和大数据集的可用性,人类和机器在未来临床实践中的结合似乎是不可避免的。因此,无论他们的感受如何,放射科医生都应该熟悉这些概念。我们在本文中的目标有三个方面:首先,让放射科医生熟悉放射组学和人工智能;第二,鼓励放射科医生参与这些不断发展的领域;第三,为将来的设计和评估工作提供一套良好的实践建议。

PURPOSEOur hypothesis in this study is that the radial and ulnar collateral ligaments of the wrist exist and are true ligaments which can be visualized by high resolution ultrasound.METHODSHigh-resolution ultrasound examination of the radial and ulnar collateral ligaments of the wrist was performed on 56 fresh cadaveric wrists. The visibility of these ligaments was assessed by four observers who classified the ligaments in consensus as well seen, adequately seen or not seen. Surgical dissections of 12 radial collateral ligaments and 12 ulnar collateral ligaments were then performed and the ligaments were classified as present or absent. The ultrasound and dissection results were then compared. To confirm that the dissected structures represent true ligaments a histologic examination of the ligaments was performed.RESULTSAll examined radial and ulnar collateral ligaments were seen on the ultrasound examination. The radial collateral ligament was seen between the radial styloid and radial aspect of the scaphoid. The ulnar collateral ligament was seen between ulnar styloid process and the triquetrum. On all surgical dissections, the radial collateral ligament was present at the floor of the first extensor compartment and the ulnar collateral ligament was at the floor of the sixth extensor compartment. Both ligaments were proven to be true capsular ligaments on both dissection and histological examinations.CONCLUSIONThe radial and ulnar collateral ligaments of the wrist are true ligaments and can be seen at the floor of the first and the sixth extensor compartments, respectively, using a high-resolution ultrasound. Based on their anatomic location, they most likely provide static stability to the wrist joint.
目的我们在本研究中的假设是,手腕的桡侧和尺侧副韧带存在,并且是真正的韧带,可以通过高分辨率超声进行可视化。方法对56具新鲜尸体手腕进行腕桡侧和尺侧副韧带的高分辨率超声检查。四名观察者对这些韧带的可见性进行了评估,他们一致将韧带分为可见、充分可见或未可见。然后对12条桡侧副韧带和12条尺侧副韧带进行手术解剖,并将韧带分为存在或不存在。然后比较超声和解剖结果。为了确认解剖结构代表真正的韧带,对韧带进行了组织学检查。结果所有检查的桡侧和尺侧副韧带均可见超声检查。桡侧副韧带位于腕舟骨的桡侧和桡侧之间。尺骨侧副韧带位于尺骨柄突和三角骨之间。在所有的外科解剖中,桡骨副韧带位于第一伸肌室的底部,尺侧副韧带位于第六伸肌室底部。在解剖和组织学检查中,这两条韧带都被证明是真正的包膜韧带。结论腕骨的桡侧副韧带和尺侧副韧带是真正的韧带,使用高分辨率超声可以分别在第一和第六伸肌室的底部看到。根据它们的解剖位置,它们很可能为腕关节提供静态稳定性。

PURPOSEIn this study, we aimed to investigate the breast lesion excision system (BLES) as a tool and a practical alternative technique to surgical biopsy and other percutaneous biopsy methods for suspicious lesions. We also wanted to share our initial experience with BLES and compare it with standard percutaneous biopsy methods.METHODSFrom July 2015 to December 2016, a total 50 patients who had high-risk lesions which were diagnosed with core needle biopsy (CNB) or had lesions with radiology pathology discordance, or had high-risk factors, high-grade anxiety, or suspicious follow-up lesions were enrolled in the study. These lesions were classified as Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 3 or 4, which are under 2 cm. Pathologic diagnoses before and after BLES were evaluated comparatively. The diagnostic and therapeutic success and the complications of CNB and BLES were analyzed.RESULTSAfter BLES, two cases were diagnosed as atypical lobular hyperplasia and atypical ductal hyperplasia. Since the surgical margin was negative, re-excision was not required. Two cases were diagnosed as malignant, and no residual tissue was detected in the operation region. Total excision rates were reported as 56%. Minor hematoma was observed in only 1 out of 50 cases (2%), and spontaneous remission was observed. Two patients (4%) complained of pain during the procedure. Radiofrequency-related thermal damage to the specimen showed: Grade 0 (<0.5 mm) damage in 88%, Grade 1 (0.5-1.5 mm) in 10%, Grade 2 (>1.5 mm or thermal damage in diffuse areas) in 2%, and Grade 3 (diffuse thermal damage or inability to diagnose) in 0%. We found a significant positive correlation between classification of thermal damage and lesion fat cell content (r = 0.345, P = 0.015).CONCLUSIONBLES is a safe technique that can be effectively used with low complication rates in the excision of benign and high-risk breast lesions in selected cases. It may also provide high diagnostic success and even serve as a therapeutic method in high-risk lesions, such as radial scar, papilloma, and atypical lobular hyperplasia with high complete excision rates without fragmentation of lesions.
目的在本研究中,我们旨在研究乳腺病变切除系统(BLES)作为一种工具和一种实用的替代技术,以替代外科活检和其他经皮活检方法来治疗可疑病变。我们还想分享我们使用BLES的初步经验,并将其与标准经皮活检方法进行比较。方法自2015年7月至2016年12月,共有50名经核心针活检(CNB)诊断为高危病变或放射学病理不一致病变,或有高危因素、高度焦虑或可疑随访病变的患者参与研究。这些病变被分类为乳腺影像学报告和数据系统(BI-RADS)3或4,它们在2cm以下。比较BLES前后的病理诊断。分析CNB和BLES的诊断和治疗成功率以及并发症。结果BLES诊断为不典型小叶增生和不典型导管增生2例。由于手术切缘为阴性,因此不需要再次切除。两例被诊断为恶性肿瘤,手术区域未发现残留组织。据报道,总切除率为56%。在50例病例中只有1例(2%)观察到轻微血肿,并观察到自发缓解。两名患者(4%)在手术过程中抱怨疼痛。样本的射频相关热损伤显示:2%为0级(1.5 mm或弥漫性区域的热损伤),0%为3级(弥漫性热损伤或无法诊断)。我们发现热损伤的分类与病变脂肪细胞含量之间存在显著的正相关(r=0.345,P=0.015)。结论在选定的病例中,在切除良性和高危乳腺病变时,BLES是一种安全、并发症发生率低的技术。它还可以提供高诊断成功率,甚至可以作为高危病变的治疗方法,如桡骨瘢痕、乳头状瘤和不典型小叶增生,完全切除率高,病变不碎裂。

PURPOSEWe aimed to investigate the reasons for hyperintensity at fat spared area in steatotic liver at hepatobiliary phase (HBP) on gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) enhanced liver magnetic resonance imaging.METHODSTwenty-two patients with focal fat spared area demonstrating hyperintensity on HBP images were included. A region of interest was placed on in- and opposed-phase images at fat spared area and liver to measure the fat. The measurement was also performed on precontrast T1-weighted and HBP images. The signal intensities of spleen, kidney, muscle, intervertebral disc, and spinal cord were also recorded.RESULTSThe mean fat fraction of liver and fat spared area was 24.86% (8%-46%) and 8.41% (1%-34%), respectively (P < 0.001). There was a significant positive correlation between liver parenchyma fat fraction and delta fat fraction (r=0.74, P < 0.001). The mean signal intensity values of fat spared areas were higher compared with liver on precontrast T1-weighted and HBP images (P < 0.001). The mean relative enhancement ratio of liver and fat spared areas were 0.98 (0.05-1.90) and 1.15 (0.22-2.03), respectively (P < 0.001). However, in 6 patients, the relative enhancement ratio of liver and fat spared areas were almost equal. The uptake of Gd-EOB at fat spared area was not correlated with the degree of steatosis (r = -0.01, P = 0.95).CONCLUSIONFat spared area in steatotic liver appears hyperintense on HBP images due to increased relative enhancement ratio and/or baseline hyperintensity on precontrast images.
目的探讨钆-乙氧基苄基-二乙烯三胺五乙酸(Gd-EOB-DTPA)增强肝磁共振成像在肝胆期脂肪变性肝(HBP)脂肪保留区出现高信号的原因。方法选取22例HBP图像显示高强度的局灶性脂肪区患者。在脂肪保留区和肝脏的正反相图像上放置一个感兴趣的区域来测量脂肪。测量也进行了预对比t1加权和HBP图像。同时记录脾脏、肾脏、肌肉、椎间盘和脊髓的信号强度。结果肝脏脂肪含量平均为24.86%(8% ~ 46%),脂肪备用面积平均为8.41% (1% ~ 34%)(P < 0.001)。肝实质脂肪分数与δ脂肪分数呈显著正相关(r=0.74, P < 0.001)。对比前t1加权和HBP图像,脂肪备用区平均信号强度值高于肝脏(P < 0.001)。肝脏和脂肪备用区平均相对增强比分别为0.98(0.05 ~ 1.90)和1.15 (0.22 ~ 2.03)(P < 0.001)。但6例患者肝脏与脂肪备用区相对增强比例几乎相等。脂肪备用区Gd-EOB摄取与脂肪变性程度无相关性(r = -0.01, P = 0.95)。结论脂肪变性肝的脂肪备用区在HBP图像上呈现高信号,这是由于相对增强比的增加和/或对比前图像的基线高信号。

PURPOSEIn patients undergoing percutaneous liver perfusion with melphalan (M-PHP), the presence of variant hepatic arteries (HAs) may require catheter repositioning and thus prolong procedure time. Coil-embolization of variant HAs may enable M-PHP with a single catheter position as occlusion of variant HAs results in redistribution of flow through preexisting intrahepatic arterial collaterals. Aim of this study was to evaluate whether redistribution of flow has any negative effect on therapeutic response in ocular melanoma patients undergoing M-PHP.METHODSWe retrospectively analyzed pretreatment angiograms in all 32 patients that underwent M-PHP between January 2014 and March 2017 for unresectable liver metastases from ocular melanoma. Patients that underwent embolization of a variant left HA (LHA) or middle HA (MHA) during pretreatment angiography followed by at least one technically successful M-PHP, were included for further analysis. Redistribution of arterial flow was evaluated on angiography and cone-beam CT (CBCT) images. In each patient, tumor response in liver segments with redistributed blood flow was evaluated using RECIST 1.1 and mRECIST, and then compared to tumor response in segments without flow redistribution. Follow-up scans were reviewed to evaluate progression of liver metastases.RESULTSA total of 12 patients were included. Replaced LHA embolization resulted in redistribution of flow to segment(s) 2 (n=3), 2 and 3 (n=6), and 2, 3 and 4 (n=1). MHA embolization resulted in redistribution of flow to segment 4 (n=2). Successful redistribution was confirmed by angiography and/or CBCT in all patients. Tumor response was similar for redistributed and non-redistributed liver segments in 8 out of 9 patients (88.9%) according to RECIST 1.1, and in 8 out of 8 patients (100.0%) according to mRECIST. In three patients, tumor response was not evaluable according to RECIST 1.1 or mRECIST as metastases were too small to be categorized as target lesions (n=1), or target lesions were confined to non-redistributed segments (n=2). In one patient, tumor response was not evaluable according to mRECIST as target lesions in the redistributed segments were hypovascular. After a median follow-up time of 17.1 months (range 9.1-38.5), hepatic progression was seen in 9 out of 12 patients with a median time to progression of 9.9 months (range 2.5-17.7). Progression of liver metastases was never seen in the redistributed liver segments only.CONCLUSIONFlow redistribution in liver segments by coil-embolization of variant HAs is a feasible technique that does not seem to compromise tumor response in patients undergoing M-PHP.
目的:在接受经皮肝灌注melphalan (M-PHP)的患者中,存在变型肝动脉(HAs)可能需要重新定位导管,从而延长手术时间。变异型HAs的线圈栓塞可以使M-PHP具有单一的导管位置,因为变异型HAs的闭塞会导致先前存在的肝内动脉侧支的血流重新分布。本研究的目的是评估血流再分配是否会对接受M-PHP治疗的眼部黑色素瘤患者的治疗反应产生负面影响。方法回顾性分析了2014年1月至2017年3月期间,所有32例因眼部黑色素瘤不可切除肝转移而接受M-PHP治疗的患者的血管造影预处理。在血管造影前接受左血凝素(LHA)或中血凝素(MHA)栓塞的患者,随后至少有一个技术上成功的M-PHP,被纳入进一步分析。通过血管造影和锥形束CT (CBCT)评估动脉血流的重新分布。在每个患者中,使用RECIST 1.1和mRECIST评估血流重新分布的肝段的肿瘤反应,然后与没有血流重新分布的肝段的肿瘤反应进行比较。回顾随访扫描以评估肝转移的进展。结果共纳入12例患者。替代LHA栓塞导致血流重新分布到2段(n=3)、2段和3段(n=6)以及2段、3段和4段(n=1)。MHA栓塞导致血流重新分布到第4段(n=2)。所有患者均通过血管造影和/或CBCT证实血管再分配成功。根据RECIST 1.1标准,9例患者中有8例(88.9%)的重分布和非重分布肝段的肿瘤反应相似,根据mRECIST标准,8例患者中有8例(100.0%)的肿瘤反应相似。在3例患者中,肿瘤反应不能根据RECIST 1.1或mRECIST进行评估,因为转移灶太小而不能归类为靶病变(n=1),或者靶病变局限于非再分布的节段(n=2)。在一名患者中,肿瘤反应不能根据mRECIST评估,因为再分布节段的靶病变是低血管。中位随访时间为17.1个月(范围9.1-38.5),12例患者中有9例出现肝脏进展,中位进展时间为9.9个月(范围2.5-17.7)。仅在重新分布的肝节段中未见肝转移的进展。结论在接受M-PHP治疗的患者中,通过栓塞变异型ha在肝段重新分配血流是一种可行的技术,似乎不会影响肿瘤反应。

Coil-embolization of variant HAs may enable M-PHP with a single catheter position as occlusion of variant HAs results in redistribution of flow through preexisting intrahepatic arterial collaterals. Aim of this study was to evaluate whether redistribution of flow has any negative effect on therapeutic response in ocular melanoma patients undergoing M-PHP.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000We retrospectively analyzed pretreatment angiograms in all 32 patients that underwent M-PHP between January 2014 and March 2017 for unresectable liver metastases from ocular melanoma. Patients that underwent embolization of a variant left HA (LHA) or middle HA (MHA) during pretreatment angiography followed by at least one technically successful M-PHP, were included for further analysis. Redistribution of arterial flow was evaluated on angiography and cone-beam CT (CBCT) images. In each patient, tumor response in liver segments with redistributed blood flow was evaluated using RECIST 1.1 and mRECIST, and then compared to tumor response in segments without flow redistribution. Follow-up scans were reviewed to evaluate progression of liver metastases.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000A total of 12 patients were included. Replaced LHA embolization resulted in redistribution of flow to segment(s) 2 (n=3), 2 and 3 (n=6), and 2, 3 and 4 (n=1). MHA embolization resulted in redistribution of flow to segment 4 (n=2). Successful redistribution was confirmed by angiography and/or CBCT in all patients. Tumor response was similar for redistributed and non-redistributed liver segments in 8 out of 9 patients (88.9%) according to RECIST 1.1, and in 8 out of 8 patients (100.0%) according to mRECIST. In three patients, tumor response was not evaluable according to RECIST 1.1 or mRECIST as metastases were too small to be categorized as target lesions (n=1), or target lesions were confined to non-redistributed segments (n=2). In one patient, tumor response was not evaluable according to mRECIST as target lesions in the redistributed segments were hypovascular. After a median follow-up time of 17.1 months (range 9.1-38.5), hepatic progression was seen in 9 out of 12 patients with a median time to progression of 9.9 months (range 2.5-17.7). Progression of liver metastases was never seen in the redistributed liver segments only.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSION\u0000Flow redistribution in liver segments by coil-embolization of variant HAs is a feasible technique that does not seem to compromise tumor response in patients undergoing M-PHP.","PeriodicalId":50582,"journal":{"name":"Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5152/dir.2019.18138","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46861324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PURPOSEIn patients with malignant biliary obstruction and complicated by massive ascites, when endoscopy failed, safe routes for biliary decompression are needed alternative to percutaneous approach. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of transjugular insertion of biliary stent (TIBS) in patients with malignant biliary obstruction complicated by massive ascites with or without coagulopathy.METHODSFrom March 2012 to December 2017, a total of 12 consecutive patients with malignant biliary obstructions treated with TIBS was enrolled in this study. Five patients had jaundice with cholangitis and seven had only jaundice. Clinical parameters including technical and clinical success rate and complications following TIBS were evaluated. Overall survival and stent occlusion-free survival were assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis.RESULTSThe indications for transjugular approach were massive ascites with (n=2) or without (n=10) coagulopathy. TIBS was technically successful in 11 of 12 patients. Clinical success was defined as successful internal drainage and achieved in eight patients. The mean serum bilirubin level was initially 13.9±6.3 mg/dL and decreased to 4.9±5.3 mg/dL within 1 month after stent placement (P = 0.037). Two patients had procedure-related complications (hemobilia). During the follow-up period (mean=30 days, range=1-146 days), all 12 patients died of disease progression. The median overall survival and stent occlusion-free survival times were 19 days (95% confidence interval=16-22 days) and 19 days (95% confidence interval=12-26 days), respectively. There was no stent dysfunction in the eight patients that had successful internal drainage.CONCLUSIONTIBS appears to be safe, technically feasible, and clinically effective for patients with malignant biliary obstruction complicated by massive ascites with or without coagulopathy.
目的对于恶性胆道梗阻并伴有大量腹水的患者,当内镜检查失败时,需要安全的胆道减压途径来替代经皮入路。我们评估了经颈静脉插入胆道支架(TIBS)治疗恶性胆道梗阻并发大量腹水伴或不伴凝血障碍患者的安全性和有效性。方法从2012年3月至2017年12月,共有12名连续接受TIBS治疗的恶性胆道梗阻患者参与本研究。5名患者因胆管炎而出现黄疸,7名患者仅出现黄疸。评估了TIBS的临床参数,包括技术和临床成功率以及并发症。使用Kaplan-Meier分析评估总生存率和支架无闭塞生存率。结果经颈静脉入路的适应症是伴有(n=2)或不伴有(n=10)凝血障碍的大量腹水。12名患者中有11名患者的TIBS在技术上是成功的。临床成功被定义为成功的内部引流,并在8名患者中实现。平均血清胆红素水平最初为13.9±6.3 mg/dL,在支架置入后1个月内降至4.9±5.3 mg/dL(P=0.037)。两名患者出现了与手术相关的并发症(胆道出血)。在随访期间(平均值=30天,范围=1-146天),所有12名患者均死于疾病进展。中位总生存期和支架无闭塞生存期分别为19天(95%置信区间=16-22天)和19天(95%置信区间=12-26天)。8例内引流成功的患者均未出现支架功能障碍。结论TIBS治疗恶性胆道梗阻并发大量腹水伴或不伴凝血障碍的患者是安全的、技术上可行的、临床上有效的。
