Use of a funneled sheath for embolic protection during removal of thrombosed Simon Nitinol filters
Diagn Interv Radiol. 2023 Aug 18. doi: 10.4274/dir.2023.232267. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInferior vena cava (IVC) filters should be removed when no longer needed, given their association with complications such as thrombosis of the IVC and lower extremities, fracture, migration, and growth into adjacent structures. While this is generally straightforward in the setting of retrievable filters, permanent filters present more of a challenge. In fact, many operators will not attempt to do so for fear of intraprocedural complications, among them, filter fracture and fragment embolization. Despite this, leaving the filters ...

Percutaneous nephrostomy in infants: a 20-year single-center experience
CONCLUSION: Imaging-guided PCN is a feasible and effective procedure with high technical success and low major complication rates, and it is useful for protecting kidney function in infants.PMID:37593945 | DOI:10.4274/dir.2023.232276 (Source: Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology : The Turkish Society of Radiology)

Artifact characterization of Nitinol needles in magnetic resonance imaging-guided musculoskeletal interventions at 3.0 tesla: a phantom study
CONCLUSION: To minimize needle artifacts, it is recommended to use FAs of 40°-60°, a ST of >7 mm, and, if possible, an IA of 45°-60°. The visibility of the target lesion and the needle's artifact behavior must be weighed up against each other when choosing the ST, while higher FAs (40°-60°) and matrices (224 × 224/256 × 256) are associated with low artifacts and sufficient lesion visibility.PMID:37592882 | DOI:10.4274/dir.2023.232262 (Source: Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology : The Turkish Society of Radiology)
