Interventional radiology-operated cholecystoscopy may serve as an effective method for percutaneous gallstone removal in patients with multiple comorbidities precluding cholecystectomy.
The purpose of this article is to describe acute complications associated with adhesive cyanoacrylate deposition in the peripheral circulation and their management. Despite best efforts, n-butyl cyanoacrylate glue embolization is inherently unpredictable and complications do occur. An understanding of preparation techniques that minimize adverse event rates and the technical skillset required to manage complications are necessary for the safe and efficient use of liquid embolic agents.
Lymphangiography, thoracic duct embolization and thoracic duct disruption are successful interventional strategies in children with chylothorax and should be considered as viable treatment options at any age.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
