Use of Polyurethane-Covered Stents for Exclusion of Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations
ConclusionExclusion of PAVMs with polyurethane-covered stents is technically feasible, safe, and shows short-term effectiveness for PAVMs with a short/tortuous feeding artery when traditional embolization techniques are not possible.Graphical Abstract (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)

Cumulative Effective Dose During Fluoroscopically Guided Interventions (FGI): Analysis of More Than 5000 FGIs in a Single European Center
ConclusionsSubstantial CED may occur in a small but not ignorable fraction of patients (~  3%) undergoing FGIs. Approximately 2/3rd of patients may most likely not encounter radiation-related stochastic effects due to life-threatening diseases and age at first treatment >  65 years but 1/3rd may. Patients undergoing more than one FGI (77%) carry a higher risk of accumulating effective doses >  100 mSv. Remarkably, 23% received a mean CED 162.2 ± 72.3 mSv in a single procedure.

National UK Survey of Radiation Doses During Endovascular Aortic Interventions
ConclusionThe development of DRLs is pertinent to EAR procedures as the first step to optimise the radiation risks to patients and staff while maintaining the highest patient care and paving the way for steps to reduce radiation exposures. (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)

Pre-existing Hepatic Encephalopathy: Really a Contraindication to Elective TIPS?
ConclusionPre-TIPS HE did not predict the development of HE within 3  months of TIPS. Outcomes such as hospital admission and survivability were not different between patients with and without prior HE. (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)
