RESUMO

The safety and effectiveness of hepatic transarterial embolic locoregional therapy (LRT) was assessed, including transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and transarterial radioembolization (TARE), in patients who underwent portal vein embolization (PVE) before major hepatectomy in whom surgery was then contraindicated. Adverse events (AEs) were graded according to the Society of Interventional Radiology classification of AEs. Tumor response was assessed based on the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors 1.1. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were estimated. Fifteen patients underwent 37 transarterial LRTs (25 TACEs, 11 TAREs, and 1 bland embolization), most (73%) with hepatocellular carcinoma. Eleven AEs occurred in 7 patients, including 2 Grade 3/5 (severe) and 2 Grade 4/5 (life-threatening) events. The best response was partial response in 4 (27%) and stable disease in 10 (66%) patients. The median OS and PFS were 42 (95% CI, 35-49 months) and 33 months (95% CI, 24-42 months), respectively. In conclusion, hepatic transarterial LRT can be considered as a therapeutic option in patients with contraindicated liver surgery after PVE.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess the performance of a reinforced analgesic protocol (RAP) on pain control in patients undergoing conventional trans-arterial chemoembolization (cTACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighty-one consecutive patients (57 men, 24 women) with a mean age of 69 ± 10 (standard deviation) years (age range: 49-92 years) underwent 103 cTACEs. Standard antalgic protocol (50 mg hydroxyzine, 10 mg oxycodone, 8 mg ondansetron, and lidocaine for local anesthesia) was prospectively compared to a RAP (standard + 40 mg 2-h infusion nefopam and 50 mg tramadol). The individual pain risk was stratified based on age, the presence of cirrhosis and alcoholic liver disease, and patients were assigned to a low-risk group (standard protocol) or high-risk group (RAP). The primary endpoint was severe periprocedural abdominal pain (SAP), defined as a visual analog scale score ≥30/100. A predefined intermediate analysis was performed to monitor the benefit-risk of the RAP. Based on the intermediate analysis, all patients were treated with the RAP. RESULTS: The intermediate analysis performed after 52 cTACE showed that 2/17 (12%) high-risk patients (i.e., those receiving the RAP) experienced SAP compared to 15/35 (43%) low-risk patients (odds ratio [OR] = 0.18; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.02-0.98; P = 0.03). Analysis of all procedures showed that 12/67 (18%) patients in cTACE receiving the RAP experienced SAP compared to 15/36 (42%) patients who did not receive it (OR = 3.27; 95% CI: 1.32-8.14; P = 0.01). There were no statistical differences in adverse events, particularly for nausea, between groups. CONCLUSION: Reinforcing the analgesic protocol by combining non-opioid and opioid molecules reduces perioperative pain in patients undergoing cTACE for HCC.

RESUMO

Purpose To investigate whether liver enhancing tumor burden (LETB) assessed at contrast-enhanced CT indicates early response and helps predict survival outcomes in patients with multifocal neuroendocrine liver metastases (NELM) after intra-arterial treatment. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included patients with NELM who underwent intra-arterial treatment with transarterial embolization (TAE) or chemoembolization (TACE) between April 2006 and December 2018. Tumor response in treated NELM was evaluated by using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) and modified RECIST (mRECIST). LETB was measured as attenuation 2 SDs greater than that of a region of interest in the nontumoral liver parenchyma. Overall survival (OS); time to unTA(C)Eable progression, defined as the time from the initial treatment until the time when intra-arterial treatments were considered technically unfeasible, either not recommended by the multidisciplinary tumor board or until death; and hepatic and whole-body progression-free survival (PFS) were evaluated using multivariable Cox proportional hazards analyses, the Kaplan-Meier method, and log-rank test. Results The study included 119 patients (mean age, 60 years ± 11 [SD]; 61 men) who underwent 161 treatments. A median LETB change of -25.8% best discriminated OS (83 months in responders vs 51 months in nonresponders; P = .02) and whole-body PFS (18 vs 8 months, respectively; P < .001). A -10% LETB change best discriminated time to unTA(C)Eable progression (32 months in responders vs 12 months in nonresponders; P < .001) and hepatic PFS (18 vs 8 months, respectively; P < .001). LETB change remained independently associated with improved OS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.56), time to unTA(C)Eable progression (HR, 0.44), hepatic PFS (HR, 0.42), and whole-body PFS (HR, 0.47) on multivariable analysis. Neither RECIST nor mRECIST helped predict patient outcome. Conclusion Response according to LETB change helped predict survival outcomes in patients with NELM after intra-arterial treatments, with better discrimination than RECIST and mRECIST.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Data about reperfusion injury (RI) following acute arterial mesenteric ischemia (AAMI) in humans are scarce. We aimed to assess the prevalence and risk factors of RI following endovascular revascularization of AMI and evaluate its impact on patient outcomes. METHODS: Patients with AAMI who underwent endovascular revascularization (2016-2021) were included in this retrospective cohort. CT performed < 7 days after treatment was reviewed to identify features of RI (bowel wall hypoattenuation, mucosal hyperenhancement). Clinical, laboratory, imaging, and treatments were compared between RI and non-RI patients to identify factors associated with RI. Resection rate and survival were also compared. RESULTS: Fifty patients (23 men, median 72-yrs [IQR 60-77]) were included, and 22 were diagnosed with RI (44%) after a median 28 h (22-48). Bowel wall hypoattenuation and mucosal hyperenhancement were found in 95% and 91% of patients with post-interventional RI, respectively. Patients with RI had a greater increase of CRP levels after endovascular treatment (p = 0.01). On multivariate analysis, a decreased bowel wall enhancement on baseline CT (HR = 8.2), an embolic cause (HR = 7.4), complete SMA occlusion (HR = 7.0), and higher serum lactate levels (HR = 1.4) were associated with RI. The three-month survival rate was 78%, with no difference between subgroups (p = 0.99). However, the resection rate was higher in patients with RI (32% versus 7%; p = 0.03). CONCLUSION: RI is frequent after endovascular revascularization of AAMI, especially in patients who present with decreased bowel wall enhancement on pre-treatment CT, an embolic cause, and a complete occlusion of the SMA. However, its occurrence does not seem to negatively impact short-term survival.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To report the 3-year experience of endovascular revascularization of acute arterial mesenteric ischemia (AMI) from an intestinal stroke center unit (ISCU). METHOD: All data from patients admitted to the ISCU between January 2016 and January 2019 for arterial AMI who underwent endovascular recanalization were prospectively acquired and retrospectively analyzed. Patient demographics, clinical and laboratory characteristics at presentation, and CT scans were reviewed. The type (thrombolysis, thrombectomy, stenting) and the outcome of endovascular procedures (technical success or failure, complications) were noted. Care pathways were described focusing on post-procedural treatments (surgical revascularization, bowel resection) and the mortality rate was evaluated in subgroups. RESULTS: Fifty-eight patients (34 men [59%], mean 69 ± 29 years) were included. Endovascular revascularization was technically successful in 51/58 (88%) patients, and 10 (17%) patients had post-procedural complications. Stenting and in situ thrombolysis were performed in most patients (n = 33 and n = 19, respectively). Thirty-two patients (55%) were recurrence-free and required no further treatment after the procedure, while 9 (16%), 5 (9%), and 5 (9%) patients underwent 2nd-line bowel resection, surgical revascularization, or both. Overall, 46 (79%), 45 (78%), and 34 patients (63%) were alive at 3 months, 1 year, and 3 years. No significant difference in survival was found in care pathways or baseline characteristics. CONCLUSION: Endovascular revascularization is highly feasible for the treatment of arterial AMI, and is associated with an acceptable rate of complications. Results of endovascular revascularization shall only be interpreted as part of a multidisciplinary patient management strategy. KEY POINTS: • Endovascular revascularization is highly feasible for the treatment of arterial AMI, and is associated with an acceptable rate of complications. • Several techniques are available to perform endovascular revascularization, and their use depends on the cause, the location, and the quality of underlying arteries of patients. • Results of endovascular revascularization shall only be interpreted in relation to its role in an integrated multidisciplinary and patient management strategy.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To prospectively assess the frequency of severe abdominal pain during and after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using the visual analog scale (VAS), and to identify predictive factors. METHODS: Ninety-eight TACE performed in 80 patients (mean 65 ± 12 years old, 60 men) were consecutively and prospectively included. Abdominal pain was considered severe if the VAS ≥ 30/100 after treatment administration, or if opioid analgesic (grades 2-3) intake was required during hospitalization. Patient and tumor characteristics as well as technical factors associated with severe pain were identified by binary logistic regression. RESULTS: The criterion for severe pain was met in 41/98 (42%) of procedures (peri-procedural pain 30/98 [31%] and opioid consumption during hospitalization 24/98 [25%]). Multivariate analysis identified age (odds ratio [OR] = 0.943 (95% confidence interval 0.895-0.994), p = 0.029), cirrhosis (OR = 0.284 (0.083-0.971), p = 0.045), and alcoholic liver disease (OR = 0.081 (0.010-0.659), p = 0.019) as negative predictive factors of severe abdominal pain. Severe abdominal pain occurred in or after 1/13 (8%), 8/34 (24%), 22/41 (54%), and 10/10 (100%) TACE sessions when none, one, two, and three of the protective factors were absent, respectively (p < 0.001). The area under the ROC curve of the combination of factors for the prediction of severe abdominal pain was 0.779 (CI 0.687-0.871). CONCLUSION: Severe abdominal pain was frequent during and after TACE revealing a clinically relevant and underestimated problem. A predictive model based on three readily available clinical variables suggests that young patients without alcoholic liver disease or cirrhosis could benefit from reinforced analgesia. KEY POINTS: • Severe abdominal pain occurs in 43% of TACE for HCC. • Younger age, absence of cirrhosis, and absence of alcoholic liver disease were identified as independent predictive factors of severe abdominal pain. • A simple combination of the three abovementioned features helped predict the occurrence of severe abdominal pain.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Transarterial chemoembolization with drug-eluting microspheres (DEM-TACE) is recommended for patients with BCLC stage B hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and stage 0-A unsuitable for curative treatments. We assessed efficacy and safety along with hepatobiliary toxicities (HBT) of DEM-TACE using a novel microsphere, LifePearlTM, loaded with anthracyclines. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 97 patients diagnosed with HCC were prospectively enrolled and treated using LifePearlTM loaded with doxorubicin (77%) or idarubicin (23%). Safety and tolerability were assessed using CTCAE, HBT by CT/MRI scans, and tumor response by applying modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST). Follow-up was after 2 years. RESULTS: Adverse events (AE) were reported in 73.2% of patients, majority being Grade 1-2. Grade ≥ 3 AE reported in 13.4% of patients were mainly related to postembolization syndrome. HBT were observed after 15.5% (29/187) of the DEM-TACEs. Objective response and disease control rates were 81% and 99%, respectively, as the best responses. Survival rates at one and two years were 81% and 66%, respectively, while the median overall survival (OS) was not reached. Median progression free survival was 13.7 months (95% CI: 11.3; 15.6) and median time to TACE untreatable progression was 16.7 months (95% CI: 12.7; not estimable (n.e.)). CONCLUSIONS: DEM-TACE using LifePearlTM provides a high tumor response rate in HCC patients. HBT rates within or below previously reported results for cTACE and DEM-TACE indicate a good safety profile for LifePearlTM. The trial was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov National Library of Medicine (ID: NCT03053596).

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To identify risk factors for local and distant intrahepatic tumor progression after percutaneous ablation of HCC and to compare MWA with monopolar RFA. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Consecutive patients with early or very early HCC who underwent percutaneous monopolar RFA or MWA were included. Factors associated with local and distant tumor progression were identified. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to limit bias. Statistical analyses were performed with the Kaplan-Meier method using the log-rank test and Cox regression models. RESULTS: One hundred ninety HCC (mean diameter 23 ± 8.6 mm) were treated by RFA (n = 90, 47%) or MWA (n = 100, 53%) in 152 patients (mean age 63 ± 11, 79% men) between 2009 and 2016. The technical success rate was 97.4% (n = 185 HCC). After a median follow-up of 24.6 months (IQR: 9.7-37.2), 43 (23%), HCC showed local tumor progression [after a median of 13.4 months (IQR: 5.8-24.3)] and 91 (63%) patients had distant intrahepatic tumor progression (after a median of 10.4 months (IQR: 5.7-22). The cox model after PSM identified treatment by RFA (HR, 2.89; P = 0.005), HCC size ≥ 30 mm (HR, 3.12; P = 0.007) and vascular contact (HR, 3.43; P = 0.005) as risk factors for local progression. Factors associated with distant intrahepatic progression were HCC ≥ 30 mm (HR, 1.94; P = 0.013), serum AFP > 100 ng/mL (HR, 2.56; p = 0.002), and hepatitis B carrier (HR, 0.51; p = 0.047). CONCLUSION: The rate of local HCC progression was lower after MWA than monopolar RFA, regardless of tumor size and vascular contact. The ablation technique did not influence the risk of distant intrahepatic tumor progression.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To compare the features of hepatocellular adenoma subtypes (HCAs) in B-mode and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). METHOD: Thirty-three patients (31 women [94 %] and two men [6%], median age [Q1-Q3] 43.5 years old [35-51]) with 44 pathologically proven and subtyped HCAs (including 29 inflammatory HCAs [I-HCA] and 15 HNF1-α inactivated HCAs [H-HCA]) who underwent CEUS were included. The features of HCA on B-mode and CEUS were independently reviewed by two radiologists and compared between HCA subtypes. RESULTS: I-HCAs were mostly hypoechoic (23/29, 79 %) or isoechoic (4/29, 14 %) with B-mode. Twelve of them (41 %) were heterogeneous. All H-HCAs except one demonstrated homogeneous hyperechogenicity (93 %) (p = 0.001). Moderate or marked liver steatosis was only observed in I-HCAs (12/29, 41 %) (p = 0.001). Arterial hyperenhancement was observed on CEUS in 27/29 (93 %) I-HCAs and in 14/15 (93 %) H-HCAs (p=0.98). Washout was present in 6/29 (21 %) I-HCAs and 1/15 (7%) H-HCAs (p=0.27). A total of 23/29 (79 %) I-HCAs and 15/15 (100 %) HCAs were homogeneous on portal and delayed phase acquisitions (p=0.04). The specificity for identifying an H-HCA was 100 % when the lesion was homogeneous and hyperechoic on B-mode, and the sensibility to rule out an H-HCA was 100 % if neither of these two features was present in a liver with obvious steatosis. CONCLUSIONS: Most CEUS features, especially enhancement patterns, do not significantly differ between HCA subtypes. When HCA is suspected on CEUS, B-mode features should be considered, and a combination of lesion hyperechogenicity, homogeneity and the absence of obvious liver steatosis may be useful to distinguish H-HCAs from I-HCAs.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hepatobiliary phase (HBP) images can discriminate between benign and malignant liver lesions, but it is unclear if this approach can be used in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS). Thus, we aimed to assess the diagnostic utility of HBP images in patients with BCS. METHODS: This retrospective study included all patients admitted to our institution with a diagnosis of BCS and focal liver lesions on hepatobiliary contrast agent-enhanced MR imaging (HBCA-MRI) from 2000 to 2019. MR images were reviewed by 2 radiologists blinded to the diagnosis of the lesions. Patient and lesion characteristics were recorded, focusing on HBP imaging features. RESULTS: Twenty-six patients (mean 35 ± 11 years old [13-65]; 21 women [81%] 35 ± 12 years old [13-65]; 5 men [19%] 36 ± 10 years old [19-44]) with 99 benign liver lesions and 12 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) were analyzed. Patients with HCC were significantly older than those with benign lesions (mean 50 ± 10 vs. 33 ± 9 years old, p = 0.003), with higher alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels (3/4 [75%] vs. 1/22 [5%] with AFP >15 ng/ml, p <0.001). Homogeneous hypointense signals were identified on HBP in 14 lesions, including 12/12 (100%) HCCs, and 2/99 (2%) benign lesions (p <0.001). Most benign liver lesions showed either peripheral (n = 52/99 [53%]) or homogeneous hyperintensity (n = 23/99 [23%]) on HBP. Lesions with signal hypointensity on HBP in patients with AFP serum levels >15 ng/ml were all HCCs. CONCLUSION: Most benign lesions showed homogeneous or peripheral hyperintensity on HBP images while all HCCs were homogeneously hypointense. HBP images are helpful to differentiate between benign lesions and HCCs and outperform other sequences. They should be systematically acquired for the characterization of focal lesions in patients with BCS. LAY SUMMARY: Hepatobiliary phase imaging is an approach that has recently been shown to discriminate between benign and malignant lesions in the liver. However, it was not known whether this imaging approach could be used effectively in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome. Herein, we have shown that hepatobiliary phase imaging appears to be useful for differentiating between benign and malignant liver lesions in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome.

RESUMO

Liver tumours are very common and malignant tumours represent a major cause of cancer-related death. Imaging plays an important role at many different stages of the care pathway. This review discusses new aspects and new roles for imaging and for MRI, in particular. MRI is already the best tool for the characterization and staging of benign and malignant liver tumours and it could also become a useful screening tool, especially for hepatocellular carcinoma. Liver imaging will be increasingly quantitative in the future, integrating new approaches such as those of artificial intelligence.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Very few data are available about the clinical relevance of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in preoperative evaluation of rectal villous adenoma. The aim is to evaluate the impact of MR imaging for the surgical management of rectal villous adenoma treated by transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM). METHODS: All patients with histologically proven rectal villous tumours operated by TEM who had a preoperative MR imaging between 2009 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent TEM because preoperative evaluation suggested systematically usT0 or usT1 tumour. Pathological stage was blindly compared to preoperative MR imaging (location according to the anal verge and the peritoneal reflection, amount of circumferential involvement, tumour size and staging) and preoperative transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) results. RESULTS: Forty-five patients were included (24 men, mean age 65 ± 8 years) with TRUS data available only in 37. Pathologic results were pT0-pTis in 32, pT1 in 10 and pT2 in 3. TRUS diagnosed correctly 36/37 lesions (97%) and understaged one pT2 tumour. A significant correlation between TRUS and pathologic results was noted (r = 0.99; p = 0.01). MR imaging diagnosed correctly 19/42 pTis-T1 and 1/3 pT2 tumours (46%). Overstaging by MR imaging was noted in 25 cases (54%). No correlation between MR imaging and pathologic results was noted (r = 0.7; p = 0.3). CONCLUSION: Preoperative evaluation of rectal villous adenoma is overstaged by MRI in more than half of the patients. This study suggests that the indication of local excision by TEM for rectal villous adenoma should be based on TRUS rather than on MRI.
