Clinical TrialSafety and effectiveness of the celect inferior vena cava filter: preliminary results.
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Celect inferior vena cava (IVC) filter during implantation, retrieval, and short-term follow-up. ⋯ The Celect IVC filter can be safely placed but is related to a high incidence of caval filter leg penetration. Symptomatic PE after filter placement confirmed by CT occurred in 2.8% of patients.

Multicenter StudyArterial embolization for primary postpartum hemorrhage.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of arterial embolization (AE) for treatment of primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), and the factors associated with clinical success. ⋯ AE for primary PPH is safe and effective. Repeat embolization may be necessary in patients with active extravasation on angiography.

Clinical TrialPercutaneous hepatic abscess drainage: do multiple abscesses or multiloculated abscesses preclude drainage or affect outcome?
To compare the effectiveness of percutaneous abscess drainage in patients with pyogenic liver abscesses of the following types: single, single multiloculated, multiple, and multiple multiloculated. ⋯ Percutaneous drainage is a safe and effective procedure in the treatment of pyogenic liver abscess, regardless of abscess complexity and/or multiplicity.

Clinical TrialSingle-incision technique for tunneled central venous access.
To describe the authors' experience in using a single-incision technique for placing implantable chest ports and tunneled dialysis catheters. ⋯ The single-incision technique for tunneled central venous access is feasible and safe. Total US and procedure times are within the range of those with a conventional technique. Cosmetically, this technique is superior to the conventional technique.

Clinical TrialG2 inferior vena cava filter: retrievability and safety.
To assess the retrievability of the G2 inferior vena cava (IVC) filter and factors influencing the safety and technical success of retrieval. ⋯ G2 IVC filter retrieval has a high technical success rate and a low complication rate. Technical success appears to be unaffected by the dwell time within the reported range.
