Transarterial Embolization of Massive Gastric Ulcer Bleeding in Gastrostomy Patients Caused by a Balloon Replacement Tube: A Case Report

We present the case of a 77-year-old woman with massive gastric ulcer bleeding caused by a balloon replacement tube that required emergent transcatheter left gastric arterial embolization to stop the ulcer bleeding.

The Use of Color Doppler Sonography to Avoid Misinterpretation of the Intrahepatic Portal Vein in Gray-Scale Sonographic Diagnosis of Cysts: Two Case Reports

The Use of Color Doppler Sonography Avoids Misinterpretation of the Intrahepatic Portal Vein in the Gray-Scale Sonographic Diagnosis of Cysts. When gray-scale US shows an intrahepatic cystic lesion with weak or no posterior acoustic enhancement in close proximity to the portal vein, especially at the bifurcation area, a detailed color Doppler US should be subsequently performed to evaluate its vascular nature.
