Project description:To determine the association between prophylactic plasma transfusion and periprocedural red blood cell (RBC) transfusion rates in patients with elevated international normalized ratio (INR) values undergoing interventional radiology procedures.In this retrospective cohort study, adult patients undergoing interventional radiology procedures with a preprocedural INR available within 30 days of the procedure during a study period of January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2013, were eligible for inclusion. Baseline characteristics, coagulation parameters, transfusion requirements, and procedural details were extracted. Univariate and multivariable propensity-matched analyses were used to assess the relationships between prophylactic plasma transfusion and the outcomes of interest, with a primary outcome assessed a priori of RBC transfusion occurring during the procedure or within the first 24 hours postprocedurally.A total of 18,204 study participants met inclusion criteria for this study, and 1803 (9.9%) had an INR of 1.5 or greater before their procedure. Of these 1803 patients, 196 patients (10.9%) received prophylactic plasma transfusion with a median time of 1.9 hours (interquartile range [IQR], 1.1-3.2 hours) between plasma transfusion initiation and procedure initiation. In multivariable propensity-matched analysis, plasma administration was associated with increased periprocedural RBC transfusions (odds ratio, 2.20; 95% CI, 1.38-3.50; P<.001) and postprocedural intensive care unit admission rates (odds ratio, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.41-3.14; P<.001) as compared with those who were not transfused preprocedurally. Similar relationships were seen at higher INR thresholds for plasma transfusion.In patients undergoing interventional radiology procedures, preprocedural plasma transfusions given in the setting of elevated INR values were associated with increased periprocedural RBC transfusions. Additional research is needed to clarify this potential association between preprocedural plasma transfusion and periprocedural RBC transfusion.

Project description:The rapid expansion of minimally invasive image-guided procedures has led to their extensive use in the interdisciplinary management of patients with vascular, hepatobiliary, genitourinary, and oncologic diseases. Given the increased availability and breadth of these procedures, it is important for physicians to be aware of common complications and their management. In this article, the authors describe management of select common complications from interventional radiology procedures including tumor lysis syndrome, acute on chronic postprocedural pain, and venous thromboembolism. These complications are discussed in detail and their medical management is outlined according to generally accepted practice and evidence from the literature.

Project description:ObjectiveTo characterize use of uterine tamponade and interventional radiology procedures.MethodsThis retrospective study analyzed uterine tamponade and interventional radiology procedures in a large administrative database. The primary outcomes were temporal trends in these procedures 1) during deliveries, 2) by hospital volume, and 3) before hysterectomy for uterine atony or delayed postpartum hemorrhage. Three 3-year periods were analyzed: 2006-2008, 2009-2011, and 2012-2014. Risk of morbidity in the setting of hysterectomy with uterine tamponade and interventional radiology procedures as the primary exposures was additionally analyzed in adjusted models.ResultsThe study included 5,383,486 deliveries, which involved 6,675 uterine tamponade procedures, 1,199 interventional radiology procedures, and 1,937 hysterectomies. Interventional radiology procedures increased from 16.4 to 25.7 per 100,000 delivery hospitalizations from 2006-2008 to 2012-2014 (P<.01), and uterine tamponade increased from 86.3 to 158.1 (P<.01). Interventional radiology procedures use was highest (45.0/100,000 deliveries, 95% CI 41.0-48.9) in the highest and lowest (8.9/100,000, 95% CI 7.1-10.7) in the lowest volume quintile. Uterine tamponade procedures were most common in the fourth (209.8/100,000, 95% CI 201.1-218.5) and lowest in the third quintile (59.8/100,000, 95% CI 55.1-64.4). Interventional radiology procedures occurred before 3.3% of hysterectomies from 2006 to 2008 compared with 6.3% from 2012 to 2014 (P<.05), and uterine tamponade procedures increased from 3.6% to 20.1% (P<.01). Adjusted risks for morbidity in the setting of uterine tamponade and interventional radiology before hysterectomy were significantly higher (adjusted risk ratio [aRR] 1.63, 95% CI 1.47-1.81 and aRR 1.75 95% CI 1.51-2.03, respectively) compared with when these procedures were not performed.ConclusionThis analysis found that uterine tamponade and interventional radiology procedures became increasingly common over the study period, are used across obstetric volume settings, and in the setting of hysterectomy may be associated with increased risk of morbidity, although this relationship is not necessarily causal.

Project description:Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are rare and heterogeneous epithelial tumors most commonly arising from the gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) system. GEP-NENs account for approximately 60% of all NENs, and the small intestine and pancreas represent two most common sites of primary tumor development. Approximately 80% of metastatic patients have secondary liver lesions, and in approximately 50% of patients, the liver is the only metastatic site. The therapeutic strategy depends on the degree of hepatic metastatic invasion, ranging from liver surgery or percutaneous ablation to palliative treatments to reduce both tumor volume and secretion. In patients with grade 1 and 2 NENs, locoregional nonsurgical treatments of liver metastases mainly include percutaneous ablation and endovascular treatments, targeting few or multiple hepatic metastases, respectively. In the present work, we provide a narrative review of the current knowledge on liver-directed therapy for metastasis treatment, including both interventional radiology procedures and nuclear medicine options in NEN patients, taking into account the patient clinical context and both the strengths and limitations of each modality.

Project description:Minimally invasive percutaneous interventions are often used for enteral nutrition, biliary and urinary diversion, intra-abdominal fluid collection drainage, and central venous access. In most cases, radiologic and endoscopic placement of catheters and tubes has replaced the comparable surgical alternative. As experience with catheters and tubes grows, it becomes increasingly evident that the interventional radiologist needs to be an expert not only on device placement but also on device management. Tube dysfunction represents the most common complication requiring repeat intervention, which can be distressing for patients and other health care professionals. This manuscript addresses the etiologies and solutions to leaking and obstructed feeding tubes, percutaneous biliary drains, percutaneous catheter nephrostomies, and drainage catheters, including abscess drains. In addition, we will address the obstructed central venous catheter.

Project description:BackgroundEndovascular interventional radiology (EIR) is an increasingly popular, mini invasive treatment option for patient with symptomatic vascular disease. The EIR practiced by qualified hands is an effective, well-tolerated procedure that offers relief of patient's symptoms with a low risk of complications. During acute post procedural period, immediate complications may relate to vascular access, restenosis, thromboembolic events, uterine ischemia, infection, necrosis, sepsis, ICU stay, surgical recovery, pain management, treatment failure, and death. Moreover, additional non-life-threatening complications exist, but they are not well described and represent disparate information.Methods/designA range of databases will be screened consulted to identify the relevant studies: PubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, NosoBase, and Google Scholar (to identify articles not yet indexed). Scientist librarian used Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and free terms to construct the search strategy in PubMed. This search strategy will be adapted in other databases. Two coauthors will independently select the relevant studies, extract the relevant data, and assess the risk of bias in the included studies. Any disagreements between the two authors will be solved by a third author.DiscussionThis systematic review will provide a synthesis of EIR complications. The spotlighted results will be analyzed in order to provide a state-of-knowledge synopsis of the current evidence base in relation to the epidemiology of the infectious complications after EIR. In the event of conclusive results, our findings will serve as a reference background to assess guidelines on reality of the problem of the infections linked to endovascular interventional radiology and to formulate of assumptions and propose preventive measures, based on the results of our investigations. These propositions will aim to reduce the risk and/or the severity of these complications in the concerned population in favor a positive medical economics report. It will also aim to decrease the antibio-resistance and in fine will improve health status and security of patients.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO CRD42015025594.

Project description:Interventional radiologists are playing an increasingly important role in pediatric urologic intervention, working closely with the pediatric urologist. Interventional radiologists are frequently asked to establish percutaneous access to the renal collecting system prior to nephrolithotomy. Additionally, procedures such as percutaneous nephrostomy, ureteral stent placement and exchange, and renal parenchymal biopsy are frequently encountered requests. This article will review these common procedures and highlight techniques and pathology that are unique to the pediatric population.

Project description:IntroductionThis project studied pain control and the development of adverse events before, during, and after the administration of hydromorphone hydrochloride for various interventional radiology (IR) procedures.MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of 100 patients (men = 58; women = 42) sedated with peri-procedural intravenous (IV) hydromorphone in association with various IR procedures. We stratified the procedures as follows: abscess drainages (M = 8; F = 8), arteriograms (M = 1; F = 0), biliary interventions (M = 3; F = 2), bone biopsies (M = 2; F = 2), non-bone biopsies (M = 26; F = 19), non-tunneled venous catheters (M = 1; F = 1), tunneled venous catheters (M = 7; F = 5), embolization (M = 4; F = 0), IVC filter placement (M = 1; F = 1), nephrostomy tube placement (M = 1; F = 4), and percutaneous nephrolithotomy tube placements (M = 4; F = 0). We recorded the pre-, intra-, and post-procedure pain scores [numeric rating scale (NRS) with 0 = no pain to 10 = most pain] for each of the stratifications. We also recorded the total dose of hydromorphone and midazolam hydrochloride received by each gender, as well as whether any men or women received either naloxone hydrochloride or any antiemetic. Lastly, the investigators recorded the development of hypotension following hydromorphone administration and/or hypoxia as well as the need for opioid-induced intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The investigators used unpaired, two-tailed t tests, and either Yates-corrected Chi-squares or two-tailed Fisher's exact tests for continuous and categorical variables, respectively. The difference was statistically significant if p < 0.05.ResultsThere was no significant difference between men and women for either mean age (M = 50 years; F = 53.4 years) or mean pre-procedural pain scores (M = 1.31; F = 0.55). There was no statistically significant difference in numbers of men or women for each procedure stratification. The highest mean pre-procedure pain score was in men undergoing percutaneous nephrostomy tube placement (mean 5, SD 0). The highest mean intra-procedure pain score was in men undergoing abscess drainages (mean 2, SD 2.3). The highest mean post-procedure pain score was in men undergoing abscess drainages (mean 1.5, SD 3.5). The only mean scores that were significantly different between men and women were in pre- (M = 2.5; F = 0.6; p = 0.006) and intra-procedural (M = 2; F = 0.5; p = 0.0001) pain scores for abscess drainages. There was no statistically significant difference in the dose of either hydromorphone (M = 1.3; F = 1.3) or midazolam (M = 1.3; F = 1.3) administered. There was no statistically significant difference in opioid-induced nausea (M = 1; F = 3). One female experienced hypotension and one male experienced hypoxia within 6 h of hydromorphone administration. There were neither opioid-related ICU admissions nor naloxone administrations.ConclusionsThis preliminary study indicates that IV hydromorphone ± midazolam may be a safe and effective analgesic and sedative combination for adult patients undergoing IR procedures.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Sialorrhea is common in children with neurological disorders and leads to social isolation, aspiration pneumonia and increased caregiver burden. Sialorrhea management includes anticholinergic medications and a variety of surgeries, but these are limited by side effects, recurrence and risks. OBJECTIVE:We present our method of salivary gland ablation, an interventional radiology treatment for sialorrhea, and report safety and efficacy data from pediatric patients who underwent salivary gland ablation. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Salivary gland ablation uses image-guided sotradecol and ethanol dual-drug injection into the salivary glands. Submandibular and sublingual glands are injected percutaneously using ultrasound. Parotid glands are injected retrograde through Stensen ducts using fluoroscopy. We conducted a retrospective review of the medical records of patients who underwent salivary gland ablation at our institution between 2005 and 2019. Pre- and post-procedure Drooling Frequency and Drooling Severity (DFDS) scale scores were compared and caregiver satisfaction was assessed. We devised two cohorts, one to study patient safety and a subcohort to study clinical efficacy using DFDS scores. RESULTS:One hundred and seventy salivary gland ablation procedures were performed in the 99 patients comprising the safety cohort. Of the procedures, 88.8% resulted in no or minimal complications. Respiratory difficulty, temporary nerve palsy and infection represent the majority of the 11.2% of patients who experienced periprocedural complications. There were no complications resulting in permanent sequelae. Twenty-seven patients met our inclusion criteria for the efficacy subcohort with a mean follow-up time of 5.4 years. DFDS at follow-up decreased from a median score of nine to a seven post-procedure (P=0.000018). The proportion of caregivers who were satisfied with the procedure increased as more glands were ablated, which suggests a causal link between the number of glands ablated and the outcome. CONCLUSION:Salivary gland ablation is a safe and effective procedure with the potential for permanent decrease in symptoms related to sialorrhea.
