Acute Knee Dislocation: Review of an Elusive Entity
Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:01:43 -0000
Publication year: 2009Source: Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, Volume 38, Issue 6, November-December 2009, Pages 237-250Sangita, Kapur , Robert D., Wissman , Michael, Robertson , Sadhna, Verma , Michael C., Kreeger , ...The knee consists of three articulations: the patellofemoral, the tibiofemoral, and the proximal tibiofibular joint. Any of these joints can dislocate. Dislocations are uncommon, tend to spontaneously reduce, and can be difficult to detect on clinical examination. There are, however, telltale imaging features and the radiologist may be the first to suggest the correct diagnosis. A timely diagnosis is important as some forms are associated with limb-threatening complications. Lateral patellofemoral dislocation, in the acute setting, is typically an injury of young athletes and usually spontaneously reduces at the time of trauma. In transient lateral dislocation, contusions may be seen in...
Multidetector Computed Tomography Findings of Dense Pulmonary Emboli in Oncologic Patients
Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:01:43 -0000
Publication year: 2009Source: Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, Volume 38, Issue 6, November-December 2009, Pages 251-263Alberto, Villanueva , Maria Lourdes, Díaz , Armando, Sánchez , Eva, Castañer , Gorka, Bastarrika , ...Pulmonary embolism is a frequent condition for which multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) plays an important role in its detection. Occasionally, on MDCT studies, dense linear branching opacities may be found within the pulmonary vessels. They represent dense emboli within the pulmonary arteries (DEPA). These may occur in oncologic patients that undergo specific treatments or interventional procedures, such as cement embolus from vertebroplasty, catheter or coil migration after embolization procedures, radioactive seed embolus in patients treated with local brachytherapy for prostate, lung, or liver cancer, and also in chronic pulmonary embolism. Usually DEPA does not have any clinical significance but may...

Acute Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage

Publication year: 2009Source: Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Volume 12, Issue 2, June 2009, Pages 80-91T. Gregory, WalkerAlthough most cases of acute gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage either spontaneously resolve or respond to medical management and/or endoscopic treatment, there remain a significant number of patients who require emergency evaluation and treatment by the interventional radiologist. Any angiographic evaluation should begin with selective catheterization of the artery supplying the most likely site of bleeding, as determined by the available clinical, endoscopic, and imaging data. If a source of hemorrhage is identified, superselective catheterization followed by transcatheter embolization with microcoils is the most effective means of successfully controlling hemorrhage while minimizing potential complications. This is now well-recognized as a viable and...
Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt for Acute Variceal Hemorrhage
Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:42:31 -0000
Publication year: 2009Source: Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Volume 12, Issue 2, June 2009, Pages 92-101Sanjeeva P., Kalva , Gloria M., Salazar , T. Gregory, WalkerAcute variceal hemorrhage is life-threatening and requires a multidisciplinary approach for effective therapy. Transfusion of blood products, systemic therapy with vasopressin, octreotide, and selective β-blockers and early endoscopic therapy are often effective; however, uncontrollable variceal hemorrhage is best treated with transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt (TIPS) creation. This procedure involves establishment of a direct pathway between the hepatic veins and the portal veins to decompress the portal venous hypertension that is the source of the patient's hemorrhage. The procedure is technically challenging, especially in critically ill patients, and has a mortality of 30%-50% in the emergency setting, but has greater than...
