[PMID: 38945548 DOI: 10.1080/02656736.2024.2370969] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze and summarize the types, incidence rates and relevant influencing factors of adverse events (AEs) after high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation of gynecological diseases and provide reference and basis for handling such events in clinical practice. METHOD We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Embase databases to retrieve all literature since its establishment until February 2024. We evaluated the quality of included literature and publication bias and conducted a meta-analysis of single group rates for various AEs using Stata 17.0. RESULTS This systematic review finally included 41 articles. We summarized 34 kinds of AEs in 7 aspects and conducted a single group rate meta-analysis and sub-group analysis of 16 kinds of AEs. Among the common AEs of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), the incidence of lower abdominal pain/pelvic pain is 36.1% (95% CI: 24.3%∼48.8%), vaginal bleeding is 20.6% (95% CI: 13.9%∼28.0%), vaginal discharge is 14.0% (95% CI: 9.6%∼19.1%), myoma discharge is 24% (95% CI: 14.6%∼34.8%), buttock pain is 10.8% (95% CI: 6.0%∼16.5%) and sacral pain is 10% (95% CI: 8.8%∼11.2%). Serious complications include uterine rupture, necrotic tissue obstruction requiring surgical intervention, third degree skin burns and persistent lower limb pain or movement disorders. CONCLUSION The common AEs after HIFU surgery are mostly mild and controllable, and the incidence of serious complications is extremely low. By reasonable prevention and active intervention, these events can be further reduced, making it a safe and effective treatment method. It is a good choice for patients who crave noninvasive treatment or have other surgical contraindications.

Abstract
The aim of the article is to introduce a new term in post-procedural events related to the procedure itself. All the Societies and Councils report these events as complications and they are divided in mild, moderate and severe or immediate and delayed.On the other hand the term error is known as the application of a wrong plan, or strategy to achieve a goal.For the first time, we are trying to introduce the term "consequence"; assuming that the procedure is the only available and the best fit to clinical indication, a consequence should be seen as an expected and unavoidable occurrence of an "adverse event" despite correct technical execution.

Percutaneous cryoablation combined with prior transcatheter arterial embolization for renal cell carcinomas of 3 cm or larger: a prospective study. Int J Clin Oncol 2022; 27:1589-1595. [PMID: 35945389 DOI: 10.1007/s10147-022-02224-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We prospectively evaluated the safety and efficacy of percutaneous cryoablation combined with transcatheter renal arterial embolization for the treatment of tumors ≥ 3 cm in diameter. METHODS We included patients aged ≥ 20 years with histologically proven renal cell carcinoma with a tumor diameter ≥ 3 cm who were inoperable or refused surgery. Prior to ablation, transcatheter arterial embolization was performed using a mixture of absolute ethanol and iodized oil. All cryoablation procedures were performed percutaneously under computed tomography fluoroscopy guidance. The primary endpoint was safety, which was evaluated for adverse events using CTCAE version 4.0. The secondary endpoint was survival; overall survival, progression-free survival, and cancer-specific survival were calculated. RESULTS From October 2013 to March 2016, 19 patients (mean age, 75 ± 13 years; 5 women, 14 men) were prospectively enrolled. The mean tumor diameter was 3.9 ± 0.7 (range 3.1-5.3) cm. Four grade 3 hematologic adverse events occurred, while no symptomatic grade ≥ 3 events occurred. The median follow-up period was 68 (range 52-84) months. During the follow-up period, two patients developed local tumor progression at 3 and 42 months after the initial ablative procedure; no patient showed distant metastasis. Two patients died from causes other than RCC. Overall survival, progression-free survival, and cause-specific survival were 100%, 95%, and 100% at 3 years, and 95%, 84%, and 100% at 5 years, respectively. CONCLUSION Percutaneous cryoablation combined with prior TAE for the treatment of tumors ≥ 3 cm in diameter was safe and achieved favorable survival.

[PMID: 34020173 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2021.109777] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2021] [Revised: 05/09/2021] [Accepted: 05/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
The wide availability of cross-sectional imaging is responsible for the increased detection of small, usually asymptomatic renal masses. More than 50 % of renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) represent incidental findings on noninvasive imaging. Multimodality imaging, including conventional US, contrast-enhanced US (CEUS), CT and multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is pivotal in diagnosing and characterizing a renal mass, but also provides information regarding its prognosis, therapeutic management, and follow-up. In this review, imaging data for renal masses that urologists need for accurate treatment planning will be discussed. The role of US, CEUS, CT and mpMRI in the detection and characterization of renal masses, RCC staging and follow-up of surgically treated or untreated localized RCC will be presented. The role of percutaneous image-guided ablation in the management of RCC will be also reviewed.
