Percutaneous stent placement for the treatment of malignant biliary obstruction: nitinol versus elgiloy stents

et al. 2017

ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare two self-expanding stents, a nitinol stent and an elgiloy stent, both placed percutaneously, in terms of their efficacy in palliating inoperable malignant biliary obstruction.Materials and MethodsWe retrospectively investigated 99 patients with unresectable malignant biliary obstruction treated with percutaneous placement of a self-expanding metallic stent at our institution between May 2007 and January 2010. Serum bilirubin and liver enzyme levels were measured before and 30 days after stenting. For all procedures using elgiloy or nitinol stents, stent occlusion and patient survival rates were calculated using Kaplan-Meyer analysis.ResultsAll of the patients showed clinical improvement after stent placement, with no difference between the two groups. In both groups, the occlusion-free survival rate was 67% at 30 days, 37% at 90 days, 25% at 180 days, and 10% at 360 days, with no significant difference in relation to the type of stent.ConclusionThe two stents evaluated showed comparable efficacy for the percutaneous treatment of unresectable biliary malignancy, with good clinical results.

Computed tomography-guided preoperative localization of musculoskeletal lesions using the ROLL technique

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

ObjectiveTo describe the preoperative localization of musculoskeletal lesions with the radioguided occult lesion localization (ROLL) technique.Materials and MethodsIn all cases, computed tomography-guided injection of technetium-99m sulfur colloid was performed, directly into or near the suspicious lesion, up to 36 hours before the surgical procedure. Lesions were detected intraoperatively with a gamma probe.ResultsWe report the cases of six patients submitted to radioguided surgery, including three patients with bone lesions suspicious for metastasis, two patients suspected of recurrent sarcoma, and one patient with no previous diagnosis who had a nodular lesion on the left leg. Patients tolerated the procedure well, and no complications were associated with the puncture. All marked lesions were easily identified intraoperatively and were excised with clear margins.ConclusionThe ROLL technique was effective in the intraoperative localization of occult musculoskeletal lesions, demonstrating that it is a feasible and promising technique for the surgical exploration of selected cases.

Computed tomography-guided percutaneous biopsy of abdominal lesions: indications, techniques, results, and complications

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

ObjectiveTo evaluate the performance of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous biopsy of abdominal lesions.Materials and MethodsThis retrospective, single-center study evaluated patients submitted to CT-guided percutaneous biopsy of abdominal lesions at a cancer center, between January 2014 and June 2015. The images and patient medical records were reviewed using a standardized data collection form.ResultsWe included 225 procedures performed in 212 patients, of whom 143 (63.5%) had a prior diagnosis of cancer. Of the 225 lesions biopsied, 88 (39.1%) had a suspected primary origin and 137 (60.9%) were suspected metastatic lesions. Complications occurred in only 14 (6.2%), the most common being self-limited bleeding, which occurred in 12 (85.7%) of the 14. The occurrence of complications was not found to be significantly associated with the lesion location, age of the patient, presence of comorbidities, use of a supplementary technique, vascularization pattern, or proximity of the lesion to large vessels. The pathology findings were sufficient for making the diagnosis in 202 cases (89.8%), and the diagnosis was consistent with the clinical suspicion in 132 (58.6%).ConclusionThe procedure demonstrated a high (approximately 90%) rate of providing a sufficient sample for the diagnosis and a low complication rate, the most common complication being self-limiting bleeding.
