Natural history of the neoplastic locoregional disease:clinical and pathological patterns
No full textPotential advantages of loco-regional intra-arterial chemotherapy
No full textArterial infusion or perfusion are currently used to treat hepatic tumours, head and neck malignancy, melanomas and sarcomas of the limbs. An experimental study with epirubicin and cis-platinum infused into the hepatic artery was performed. Epirubicin was injected via the systemic vein or the hepatic artery in 27 rats. Cis-platinum was injected via a systemic route or the hepatic artery in 29 rats. Drug concentrations were evaluated in liver and tumour tissues. In the rats the tumour tissue drug concentration after hepatic artery infusion was 6- and 4-fold higher than with systemic infusion for epirubicin and cis-platinum, respectively. Arterial administration appeared to be better than systemic in terms of drug concentration within the tumours and systemic toxicity

No full textEmbolisation of arteriovenous intrahepatic fistulas associated with diffuse haemangiomatosis of the liver. Report of a case in an adult and review of the literature
No full textDiffuse hepatic haemangiomatosis is rare in adults. Association with high output intrahepatic arteriovenous fistulas has been described. To avoid heart failure complications, treatment is essential. The second case in the literature, treated with repeated transcatheter arterial embolizations (TAE) but complicated by infection of multiple haemangiomas and by Kasabach-Merritt syndrome, is presented. Complications were due to the persistent presence of haemangiomas within the liver, where an impressive collection of platelets and a superinfection were observed. Therefore, to treat arteriovenous fistula-related problems and to prevent possible complications due to persistence of the haemangiomas, surgical removal should be preferred over embolisation
