Repositioning of a displaced catheter for percutaneous hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy.

This is a report of a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma whose hepatic arterial catheter, which was introduced via a subclavian arterial branch, migrated into his right gastric artery. The catheter was successfully maneuvered to a suitable position without any further invasive procedure. The importance of preparatory embolization of the right gastric artery is underscored.

Lipiodolized gelatin sponge: a simple method to make gelatin sponge radiopaque.

Gelatin sponge particles were rendered radiopaque by soaking them in small amounts of iodized oil (LP-GS). They were evaluated for their usefulness in transarterial embolization (TAE). The LP-GS particles were well visualized fluoroscopically during TAE. The duration of the opacity of LP-GS exceeded 24 hours both in vitro and in vivo. LP-GS are useful, and are an easily obtainable, radiopaque, embolic material.

Percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty of arterial divarication: application of kissing balloon technique.

We present a patient with renal artery stenoses due to fibromuscular dysplasia involving the point of arterial bifurcation that we could successfully dilate with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. We used the kissing balloon technique to prevent possible complications of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA), including occlusion of the other branch while dilating one branch. The kissing balloon technique worked well for PTRA of the arterial bifurcation.
