CT fluoroscopy-guided catheterization of the celiac and mesenteric arteries for concurrent CTHA and CTAP.

We describe a technique for computed tomographic (CT) fluoroscopy-guided celiac artery or superior mesenteric artery (SMA) catheterization for use with CT hepatic arteriography or CT arterial portography, respectively. Patients underwent conventional hepatic angiography to define the anatomy and to place a catheter within the celiac artery or the SMA. Subsequently, the catheter was repositioned in the target vessels under CT fluoroscopy. Our success rate was 94%.

Successful treatment of a ruptured infected aneurysm of the lumbar artery with transcatheter embolization.

We report a patient who had an infected aneurysm of the lumbar artery caused by prolonged psoas abscess-forming spondylitis due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and who was treated successfully with transcatheter arterial embolization. This case suggests that an infected aneurysm can be treated successfully by transcatheter arterial embolization in emergent situations (active bleeding or septicemia) even if surgery is contraindicated.
