Micro PTBD And Stent Deployment

PTBD and stenting
Alternative therapies for malignant obstructive jaundice include percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) and stenting. For the treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice, PTBD and stenting have shown good efficacy, with few complications and reduced pain. For the treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice, PTBD and stenting have demonstrated good efficacy, with few complications and reduced pain. Primary biliary carcinomas, such as cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder cancer, and extra-biliary carcinomas, such as ampullary, pancreatic, and gastric cancer, as well as hepatocellular carcinoma, can all produce malignant obstructive jaundice.  Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) and stenting are two new treatments for malignant obstructive jaundice that have good clinical efficacy, few side effects, and cause minimal patient pain. For older patients, individuals with inoperable malignant obstructive jaundice, and patients with postoperative recurrence, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease, PTBD with stenting is the treatment of choice. US-guided and digital subtraction angiography were used to do the PTBD and stenting. Cholangiography was first utilized to determine the exact depth and extent of the stenosis or stenoses, as well as to determine which liver segments should be drained.

The following are the most common problems linked with PTBD and stenting:

1. Dislocation of a drainage tube or biliary stent;

2. cholangitis;

3. hemobilia; and

4. pancreatitis

The median survival after biliary drain insertion was 46 days, with a 95 percent confidence interval of 37.92–54.02 and a range of 2–453 days. The survival rates at 1, 3, and 6 months were 64.7 percent, 26.5 percent, and 7.4 percent, respectively.

After internal biliary drainage is restored, the PTBD catheter is withdrawn percutaneously.  The patient has in this case had an ERCP procedure to remove CBD stones, followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The cutting tube moves during the removal of the PTBD catheter in response to respiration. The average duration of stent patency is roughly 12 months. Biliary stenting can be done with either plastic or metal stents, with studies recommending that they be replaced every 3-6 months. Patients with biliary stents that have been disregarded for a long time will almost certainly require surgery. PTBD is an image-guided procedure that can be done using fluoroscopy or a combination of fluoroscopy and ultrasonography. It has a wide range of indications, including both obstructive and nonobstructive causes. Cholangitis is one of the indications for PTBD in the treatment of obstructive jaundice.

An intraoperative cholangiogram is a type of X-ray that depicts the bile ducts during surgery. It's a surgical instrument. A standard X-ray produces only one image. A cholangiogram, on the other hand, offers your doctor a live video of your bile ducts, allowing them to view what's going on in real-time.

The stent is implanted via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Bile duct carcinoma is also detected via ERCP. You will be given medicine (sedation) to put you into a light slumber so that you will not experience pain during the surgery. Your throat can become numb.

Bile is collected in viaducts that run from the liver through the right and left hepatic ducts when liver cells discharge it. The common hepatic duct is the final destination of these channels. The common bile duct is formed when the common hepatic duct joins the cystic duct from the gallbladder.

Metal mesh stents are available. A drug-eluting stent is the most popular form of a coronary stent, which slowly releases medication into the artery to keep it from narrowing again. Angioplasty is a minimally invasive technique that can include or exclude vascular stenting. When a vein or artery is too thin or obstructed, it is utilized to enhance blood flow. Rather than in an operating room, it is frequently performed in an interventional radiology suite.  For the treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice, PTBD and stenting have shown good efficacy, with few complications and reduced pain.

The best doctor for Acute Stroke Mechanical Thrombectomy is Dr. Sandeep Sharma. He is adept in both suction and stent retrieval, and he performs both techniques in combination.

Bilateral Varicocele Embolization

Image
Varicoceles are not life-threatening, however, they can be linked to serious illnesses in rare cases. If a varicocele arises on the right side of the abdomen rather than the left, for example, make sure there is no mass or other abnormalities in the abdomen that could be causing it. Blood is transported back to the heart via veins throughout the body. They usually feature valves to keep the blood flowing in the right way. When the valves in the testicular vein don't work properly, blood can pool in the scrotum, resulting in a varicocele. They commonly happen on the left side, and they're caused by the testicular vein's path through the abdomen. Varicocele is a frequent condition that is not hazardous. In fact, a varicocele affects 15% of all adult men. Many men's varicocele will go undiscovered for the rest of their lives or may create no complications at all. Varicoceles affect about 20% of teens, therefore a portion of them will most likely resolve on their own. The

LIVER ABSCESS DRAINAGE

Image
A pus-filled patch of fluid within the liver is known as a pyrogenic hepatic abscess. Pyogenic denotes the production of pus. A liver abscess can arise from a number of various causes, including a blood infection, an abdominal infection, or an infected abdominal injury. An abscess in the liver is a serious infection. It has the potential to cause major issues and even death. It can cause tissue damage in the spot where it is discovered. Fever, discomfort, nausea, diarrhoea, and loss of appetite are all possible symptoms. The whole first treatment for an amebic liver abscess is amebicidal medicines. The medication of choice is metronidazeole. The size of the abscess is a key determinant in deciding how well medical therapy works. Other treatment options include percutaneous needle aspiration and/or catheter drainage.  The type of abscess that occurs is influenced by one's age. People in their 40s and 60s are more likely to have a liver abscess that is not caused by trauma.  The foll

What is Interventional Radiology?

Image
  The medical technology has done so much progress in the past one decade that it’s sometimes surprising. Interventional radiology is one such amazing medical innovation that involves medical imaging which guides minimally invasive surgical procedures that help in diagnosis, treatment and cure of many different kinds of treatments. For imaging, the modalities used are ultrasound, MRI, CT and fluoroscopy. Why Interventional Radiology? Many surgeries are now being switched to the method of Interventional radiology and that is because the IR procedure is known to be more effective compared to their traditional surgical counterparts. This method is any day less risky, less painful and even costs you way lesser comparatively. These reasons are influencing people to prefer the IR treatment methods and hence it is starting to expand all across the world. How does Interventional Radiology work? There are various broad range procedures performed under Interventional Radiology like treating tumo
