Endovascular Management of Budd-Chiari Syndrome with Inferior Vena Cava Thrombosis: A 14-Year Single-Center Retrospective Report of 55 Patients.
To evaluate safety and efficacy of balloon dilation and stent placement combined with thrombus aspiration and thrombolysis to treat patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) with inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis. ⋯ Percutaneous vena caval balloon dilation and stent placement with thrombus aspiration and thrombolytic therapy is safe and effective for treatment of patients with BCS and IVC thrombosis.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyA Prospective, Randomized Study of an Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene Stent Graft versus Balloon Angioplasty for In-Stent Restenosis in Arteriovenous Grafts and Fistulae: Two-Year Results of the RESCUE Study.
To assess the safety and efficacy of an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene stent graft versus balloon angioplasty for the treatment of in-stent restenosis in the venous outflow of hemodialysis access grafts and fistulae. ⋯ Stent-graft use provided better ACPP and TAPP than PTA when treating in-stent restenosis in patients receiving dialysis with arteriovenous grafts and fistulae.

Multicenter StudyA Modified Model for Assessment for Retreatment with Transarterial Chemoembolization in Chinese Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients.
To develop a modified assessment for retreatment with transarterial chemoembolization (mART) score that may be more suitable for Chinese patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). ⋯ In Chinese patients with HCC, mART score of > 2.5 before second transarterial chemoembolization was associated with poor prognosis. The mART score was probably better validated compared with the ART score.
