Transcatheter arterial embolization for secondary postpartum hemorrhage: outcome in 52 patients at a single tertiary referral center.
To assess the safety and efficacy of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for the management of secondary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and to determine the factors associated with the clinical outcomes. ⋯ TAE for secondary PPH is safe and effective and showed technical and clinical success in 100% and 90.4% of patients, respectively. Approximately half of these patients showed a positive bleeding focus, and the use of permanent embolic materials was also common.

Comparative Study Observational StudyAn economic analysis of sublobar resection versus thermal ablation for early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer.
To compare medical costs for a matched-pair cohort of Medicare patients with early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent treatment with sublobar resection or thermal ablation. ⋯ Among matched Medicare patients with stage I NSCLC, thermal ablation resulted in significantly lower treatment-related costs and cumulative medical costs 1 month, 3 months, and 12 months after treatment compared with sublobar resection.

Recanalization of chronic total occlusions of the superior mesenteric artery in patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia: technical and clinical outcomes.
To evaluate the safety and outcomes of endovascular recanalization of chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI). ⋯ Endovascular stent-assisted recanalization of chronic SMA occlusions is safe and effective, with an acceptable rate of technical success and excellent midterm clinical outcomes.
