Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the detection rate of feeding arteries in renal cell carcinoma with automated feeder-detection software and determine the optimal imaging phase for accurate feeder detection with transarterial time-resolved computed tomography angiography. MATERIALS AND METHODS The performance of automated feeder-detection software was retrospectively evaluated using transarterial renal time-resolved computed tomography angiography images of 15 renal cell carcinomas (mean size, 22.1 mm); the images were obtained via the renal artery using a hybrid angio-CT system with 320-row computed tomography, across nine phases with 0.5-s intervals over a contrast delay time of 1.0-5.0 s. Automated feeder-detection software was applied to each phase in all tumors (135 image series in total). The feeder-detection rate (i.e., sensitivity) in each phase was evaluated, and the number of false feeders demonstrated by the software was counted for each tumor. RESULTS A total of 22 feeders were identified. The feeder-detection rate was the highest (95.5% [21/22]) at delay times of 1.5 s and 2.0 s and lower in later phases. At delay times of 1.0 s and 1.5 s, the software demonstrated no or only a few (≤ 3) false feeders in 93.3% (14/15) of the tumors. In later phases, however, many (≥ 4) false feeders were observed in > 50% of tumors. CONCLUSION The automated feeder-detection software showed a favorable feeder-detection rate and may be useful in transarterial embolization for renal cell carcinoma. The optimal delay time to avoid the demonstration of false feeders and achieve a high detection accuracy was 1.5 s. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV Case Series.

Selective Arterial Embolization with N-Butyl Cyanoacrylate Prior to CT-Guided Percutaneous Cryoablation of Kidney Malignancies: A Single-Center Experience. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10214986. [PMID: 34768506 PMCID: PMC8584960 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10214986] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2021] [Revised: 10/24/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The study’s purpose was to assess the safety, feasibility and efficiency of selective arterial embolization (SAE) using N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) glue before percutaneous cryoablation (PCA) of renal malignancies in patients whose tumor characteristics and/or comorbidities resulted in an unacceptable risk of bleeding. In this single-center retrospective study of 19 consecutive high-risk patients (median age, 74 years) with renal malignancies managed in 2017–2020 by SAE with NBCA followed by PCA, data about patients, tumor and procedures characteristics, complications, renal function and hemoglobin concentration before and after treatment, as well as recurrence were collected. Charlson comorbidity index was ≥4 in 89.5% of patients. Ten patients were treated by antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant therapy. Median tumor largest diameter was 3.75 cm (range, 1–6.5 cm) and R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score was ≥7 in 80%, indicating substantial tumor complexity. No major complications were recorded and minor complications occurred in 7 patients. No residual tumor was found at 6-week imaging follow-up in 18/19 patients. Tumor recurrence was visible in 1/16 patients at 6-month imaging follow-up. No significant difference was found for renal function after treatment (p = 0.07), whereas significant decrease in hemoglobin concentration was noted (p = 0.00004), although it was relevant for only one patient who required only blood transfusion and no further intervention. SAE prior to PCA is safe and effective for managing renal malignancies in high-risk patients.

Abstract
Combined angiography-CT (angio-CT) systems, which combine traditional angiographic imaging with cross-sectional imaging, are a valuable tool for interventional radiology. Although cone-beam CT (CBCT) technology from flat-panel angiography systems has been established as an adjunct cross-sectional imaging tool during interventional procedures, the intrinsic advantages of angio-CT systems concerning superior soft-tissue imaging and contrast resolution, along with operational ease, have sparked renewed interest in their use in interventional oncology procedures. Owing to increases in affordability and usability due to an improved workflow, angio-CT systems have become a viable alternative to stand-alone flat-panel angiographic systems equipped with CBCT. This review aims to provide a comprehensive technical and clinical guide for the use of angio-CT systems in interventional oncology. The basic concepts related to the use of angio-CT systems, including concepts related to workflow setup, imaging characteristics, and acquisition parameters, will be discussed. Additionally, an overview on the clinical applications and the benefits of angio-CT systems in routine therapeutic and palliative interventional oncology procedures will be reviewed.
