Placement of a Pancreaticogastric Stent to Address Refractory Pancreatic Fistula in the Setting of Pancreatic Duct Stricture

JVIR

Pancreatic duct leak (PDL) is a potential complication of pancreatic surgery presenting as pseudocysts, pancreatic ascites, and/or internal/external fistulae (1). Conservative management with bowel rest is first-line treatment. Persistent leaks are managed endoscopically with pancreatic sphincterotomy, balloon dilation, and stent placement. However, chronic inflammatory strictures of the pancreatic duct (PD) from prior surgery can hinder endoscopic techniques (2).

Treatment of Iatrogenic Femoral Arteriovenous Fistula by Balloon Tamponade Closure

JVIR

Transfemoral artery catheterization is the most commonly used approach for cerebral vascular interventions, coronary artery procedures, and peripheral vascular interventions (1). Among patients undergoing transfemoral artery catheterization, the occurrence rate of iatrogenic femoral arteriovenous fistula (FAVF) ranges from 0.23% to 2.8% (2). Compression therapy guided by a color Doppler ultrasound (US), percutaneous endovascular treatment, and surgical repair are the most common treatment method

Double Balloon Catheter-Mediated Transarterial Chemotherapy Delivery in a Swine Model: A Mechanism Recruiting the Vasa Vasorum for Localized Therapies

JVIR

Treatment of hypovascular tumors, such as pancreatic adenocarcinoma, is challenging due to inefficient drug delivery. This report examines the potential mechanism of localized drug delivery via trans-arterial micro perfusion (TAMP) using a proprietary adjustable double-balloon occlusion catheter in a porcine model. Adult Yorkshire swine (N=21) were used in IACUC-approved protocols.
