Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the role of transarterial embolization followed by hysteroscopic removal of a placental polyp with preservation of reproductive capacity.
Study Design: Three patients with placental polyps with abundant blood flow, suspected on ultrasonography with color Doppler imaging and on magnetic resonance imaging, were studied. They underwent transarterial embolization followed by hysteroscopic removal of the polyp. Transarterial embolization of the bilateral uterine arteries was carried out using an absorbable gelatin sponge. Selective removal via hysteroscopy was performed on the following day using a cutting loop without electrical stimulation. The polyp was gradually resected to the level of the surrounding endometrium.
Results: Complete removal of the placental polyp was achieved in all patients. The presence of a placental polyp was confirmed by pathologic examination. The operative time was ranged from 26 to 53 minutes. In all cases, no complications were noted, and bleeding was minimal during and immediately after the procedure. Postoperative ultrasonography demonstrated a uterine cavity free of residual mass in each case.
Conclusion: Transarterial embolization of the uterine arteries followed by selective hysteroscopic removal is a safe and effective method of minimizing bleeding and preserves fertility in the treatment of placental polyps with an abundant blood flow.

Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Beijing You'an Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Background: This network meta-analysis (NMA) aims to compare the relative efficacy of oral Chinese patent medicine combined with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: Databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, Weipu, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), were accessed from inception to the present to collect randomized controlled trials of different oral Chinese patent medicines (OCPMs). Objective response rate, 1-year survival rate, lymphocytes, nausea and vomiting were used as efficacy or tolerability outcomes.

Objectives: Contrast extravasation on imaging studies is a clinical surrogate for bleeding severity. However, the prognostic relevance of this imaging sign needs to be evaluated. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of contrast extravasation defined by computed tomography (CT) and angiography on massive transfusion and 30-day mortality in patients with acute bleeding undergoing transarterial embolization (TAE).

Purpose: To compare the safety and efficacy of simultaneous portal and hepatic vein embolization (PHVE) versus portal vein embolization (PVE) in enhancing future liver remnant (FLR) hypertrophy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 97 patients with HCC who underwent transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) followed by PVE (n = 34) or PHVE (n = 63) for preoperative liver augmentation. Volumetric analysis using contrast-enhanced CT was performed at a median of 25 days (PHVE) and 31 days (PVE) post-embolization (P = .
