Comparative StudyRadiofrequency ablation of T1 lung carcinoma: comparison of outcomes for first primary, metachronous, and synchronous lung tumors.
To report and compare outcomes after radiofrequency ablation for treatment-naïve first primary, metachronous, and synchronous T1 lung tumors. ⋯ Radiofrequency ablation results in good local control and progression-free survival in patients with treatment-naïve T1 lung tumors, including patients with metachronous and synchronous tumors.

Feasibility of percutaneous cementoplasty combined with interventional internal fixation for impending pathologic fracture of the proximal femur.
To evaluate the feasibility of percutaneous cementoplasty and interventional internal fixation for stabilization of impending pathologic fracture of the proximal femur. ⋯ Percutaneous cementoplasty plus interventional internal fixation is a feasible technique for stabilization of impending pathologic fracture of the femur.

Portal vein embolization before right hepatectomy or extended right hepatectomy using sodium tetradecyl sulfate foam: technique and initial results.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of portal vein embolization (PVE) with sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS) foam. ⋯ Preoperative PVE with STS foam is a safe and effective method to induce hypertrophy of the FLR.

To determine the impact of coil embolization of the splenic artery on splenic volume based on computed tomography (CT) imaging. ⋯ Coil embolization of the splenic artery resulted in a modest but significant decrease in splenic volume when performed distally; proximal embolization resulted in an insignificant volume change.

ReviewPredictors of patency after balloon angioplasty in hemodialysis fistulas: a systematic review.
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is an established treatment for dysfunctional hemodialysis fistulas. This article systematically reviews evidence for predictors of patency after PTA. Outcomes assessed were primary, assisted primary, and secondary patency after intervention, and findings were summarized descriptively. ⋯ Study quality was overall suboptimal. Newer fistulas and longer lesion length may be associated with primary patency loss after PTA. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings, to identify potentially modifiable factors, and to guide the testing of new endovascular devices.
