TL;DR: The organ systems discussed, such as the liver, bone, lung, and kidney, are those currently receiving the greatest amount of attention from interventional radiologists, and many additional applications are likely to emerge over the course of the next several years.

TL;DR: EVLT of the incompetent GSV appears to be an extremely safe technique that yields impressive short-term results and long-term follow-up is awaited.

TL;DR: B-RTO is a safe and effective treatment for patients with GV and hepatic encephalopathy and the most important prognostic factors are the extent of Child-Pugh classification.

TL;DR: CT-guided percutaneous RF ablation is a simple, minimally invasive, safe and highly effective technique for treatment of osteoid osteoma.

TL;DR: After stent placement, the primary success rate was significantly higher than after PTA, however, 1-year angiographic and clinical/hemodynamic success was not improved.

TL;DR: Arterial embolotherapy for UGI hemorrhage is safe, effective, and durable and coagulopathy and the use of coils as the only embolic agent were associated with a higher risk of early bleeding recurrence.

TL;DR: The GTF has a broad range of utility: it can be used as a permanent filter or retrieved after implantation periods of 15 days and possibly longer, however, indications for retrieval require further study, as does the maximum implantation time.

TL;DR: Research Services has amended this section of the application requirement, so that each biographical sketch may not be longer than five (5) pages.

TL;DR: PMT with adjunctive thrombolytic therapy is a minimally invasive, low-risk therapeutic option in patients with extensive DVT, associated with clinical benefits including thrombus removal, patency, and relief of symptoms.

TL;DR: A description of the properties, biologic interactions, techniques of use, and indications for acrylic embolization in the peripheral circulation is especially pertinent at this time because of the recent approval of n-butyl cyanoacrylate by the United States Food and Drug Administration.

TL;DR: This work presents a meta-analyses of the prophylactic and non-prolific use of positron emission tomography for the diagnosis and treatment of central giant cell granuloma in eight patients with central nervous system injuries.

TL;DR: Clinically relevant predictors of the severity of PES and length of postprocedural hospitalization may exist and re-embolization of previously treated vessels is associated with decreased toxicity and may assist in selecting patients for treatment on an outpatient basis.

TL;DR: Based on multiple laboratory and clinical investigations performed over the last decade, the current discussion will focus on the pathogenesis and clinical presentation of CN, identification of patients at higher risk of developing CN, and interventions that may diminish the risk of CN.

TL;DR: Earlier bilioenteric anastomosis is the major determinant of liver abscess formation after hepatic chemoembolization, and the prophylaxis regimen used failed to prevent abscess Formation in patients with earlier bilioEnteric anASTomosis.

TL;DR: The results of this study show that even after a long-term follow up of more than 3 years, PTA with stent placement in the femoropopliteal artery does not produce better results than PTA alone, although it does provide better initial luminal gain after the procedure.

TL;DR: Arresting nonvariceal upper GI hemorrhage with transcatheter embolotherapy has a large positive effect on patient survival, independent of clinical condition or demonstrable extravasation at intervention.

TL;DR: Embolization alone was the definitive treatment in 44% patients and reasons for unsuccessful superselective catheterization were small vessel spasm, cessation of bleeding, and vessel tortuosity.

TL;DR: In CT-guided coaxial cutting needle biopsy, lesion depth is the single predictor for risk of pneumothorax, which occurs at the highest rate in subpleural lesions, and increased risk of bleeding occurs in lesions deeper than 2 cm.

TL;DR: Esophageal stent placement for malignant obstruction or fistula is associated with a substantial incidence of delayed complications and most complications were life-threatening and occurred more frequently when stents were placed in the proximal third of the esophagus.

TL;DR: This document will provide quality improvement guidelines for filter placement within the inferior vena cava because of the limited data available for implantation sites other than the IVC.

TL;DR: The biliary abnormality prone to ascending biliary infection was the most important predisposing factor to the development of liver abscess after TOCE and could be effectively managed with percutaneous catheter drainage.

TL;DR: It is suggested that indications for femoropopliteal angioplasty can be extended to include longer and more complex Category 3 lesions, and poor tibial runoff is most predictive of lower long-term patency rates.

TL;DR: For patients aged 45 or older, there is approximately a 15% chance of an increase in basal FSH into the perimenopausal range and chi(2) analysis did not reveal any difference among the groups studied in the onset of menopausal symptoms.

TL;DR: Treatment of PE includes implementation of a treatment protocol and the use of associated techniques and devices, which may require vigorous more invasive treatment.

TL;DR: Infusion of alteplase appeared to be safe and effective in restoring flow to occluded catheters without need for pretreatment radiographic evaluation.

TL;DR: Glycoprotein IIb-IIIa blockers, targeted to interfere with fibrinogen-platelet interactions, widely used in clinical practice, are discussed, and trials of new drugs are also summarized.

TL;DR: The authors thank the members of the Reporting Standards for Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) Subcommittee, the Members of the UAE Task Force StandardsSubcommittee, and themembers of the Society of Interventional Radiology Technology Assessment Committee for their support.

TL;DR: The membership of the Society of Cardiovascular & Interventional Radiology Standards of Practice Committee represents experts in a broad spectrum of interventional procedures from both the private and academic sectors of medicine.
