Transcatheter arterial embolization of ruptured pseudoaneurysms with coils and n-butyl cyanoacrylate.
To evaluate the clinical efficacy of transcatheter arterial embolization with n-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) for ruptured pseudoaneurysms, which are difficult to control by coil embolization alone. ⋯ Embolization with NBCA is a feasible and useful treatment for ruptured pseudoaneurysms, which are difficult to control by coil embolization alone.

Comparative Study Clinical TrialAccuracy and safety of carbon dioxide inferior vena cavography.
The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of carbon dioxide compared to iodinated contrast material for determining inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter prior to filter placement, and to assess the safety of CO2 when used for this purpose. ⋯ In most patients, CO2 vena cavography accurately evaluated IVC diameter prior to filter placement. In 3.3% of patients, the discrepancy in measurements between CO2 and iodinated contrast material could be clinically significant, depending on the type of filter placed. CO2 was less accurate than iodinated contrast material in identifying renal veins. Although CO2 vena cavography is safe in the majority of patients, it should be used with caution in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
