“…No mutagenic effects were shown in vitro with albumin contained in Albunex and galactose and palmitic acid contained in Levovist themselves, using both bacterial testing and sister chromatoid exchange methods. 16 In vivo tests in animals have shown no evidence of either mutagenic or teratogenic effects with the contrast agents. An Australian categorization of risk of drug use in pregnancy 17 treats galactose and palmitic acid of radiographic agents as category B 2 , suggesting no increase in the frequency of malformation or other direct or indirect harmful effects on the human fetus and no evidence of an increased occurrence of fetal damage in animal studies.…”

Ultrasonography is a well-established imaging modality for evaluation of gynecologic tumors. In recent years, more sophisticated technologies like the use of intravascular contrast agents led to an improvement in the ability of the practitioner to differentiate benign from malignant masses. When we consider the safety of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in obstetrics and gynecology, we must discuss about the effect of ultrasound contrast media on embryo and fetus. The use of ultrasound contrast media in pregnant women always concerns in the obstetricians because of the principle of not exposing a fetus to any drug. Therefore, the literature was reviewed for information about those safety and efficacy because of the uncertainty about the use of contrast media during pregnancy. Based on the limited information available, mutagenic and teratogenic effects have not been described after administration of ultrasound contrast media. No effect on the fetus has been seen after contrast media. The small potential risk associated with the nonthermal bioeffects via acoustic cavitation may be considered to prohibit the use in first trimester pregnant women. In previous studies including human trials, no evidence of adverse effect was reported. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography could prove a useful adjunct in multiple gestations and in evaluation of uteroplacental circulation. It appears to be very promising potential in obstetrics.

“…On termination of a percutaneous renal operation, a largelumen nephrostomy catheter is usually inserted for a few days in order to attain hemostasis by tamponade [1,11], Nevertheless, insufficient tamponade with a correctly laying catheter, dislocation of the catheter or irritation of the parenchyma by the catheter might, in some cases, cause delayed bleeding following percutaneous nephroli thotomy. In the application of a fibrin glue this danger of…”

“…In all cases, excellent hemostasis was attained with the fibrin glue. In applying a fibrin glue, the danger of protracted venous or arterial hemorrhage from the parenchymal canal can be markedly reduced; the large-lumen nephrostomy catheter can also be dispensed with.Within the last few years, percutaneous nephrolitho tomy has become an established method of operation in many departments of urology [1,3,10,11,18]. Together with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy [3,5], it has almost completely displaced conventional kidney stone surgery.…”
