NEW IN JVIR: Transarterial Embolization to Improve Plantar Heel Pain: 6-Month Results from a Prospective Case Series

🔍 Clinical Question:
To investigate the effectiveness of transarterial embolization (TAE) for recalcitrant plantar heel pain (PHP).

💡 Key Insight:
Seventeen (70.8%) of 24 participants were responders at 6 months following treatment. Median pain and quality-of-life scores improved by 70.5% and 152%, respectively, at 6 months. This study adds to preliminary evidence suggesting that transarterial embolization, a novel procedure for plantar heel pain, could be an effective treatment option.

👉 Why it matters:
Notwithstanding the limitations inherent to a case series study, the results provide preliminary evidence that TAE might be an effective treatment option for people with recalcitrant plantar heel pain, supporting further evaluation of this technique.

During , JVIR is spotlighting research focused on advancing treatment strategies and improving outcomes for patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Recent featured studies explore:
🧠 The safety and efficacy of baseline antiplatelet treatment in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy

🧠 The association between aortic arch calcification, ischemic stroke subtypes, and endovascular thrombectomy outcomes

These findings contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting safer, more informed stroke interventions and improved patient care in IR.

NEW IN JVIR: Safety and Feasibility of Yttrium-90 Radioembolization for Cirrhosis-Induced Splenomegaly and Thrombocytopenia: Results from an Investigational Device Exemption Study

🔍 Clinical Question:
This prospective study evaluated novel yttrium-90 (90Y) splenic transarterial radioembolization (TARE) for cirrhosis-associated hypersplenism and thrombocytopenia.

💡 Key Insight:
Yttrium-90 splenic transarterial radioembolization for cirrhosis-induced splenomegaly and thrombocytopenia was feasible and safe, with lung shunt fractions

NEW IN JVIR: Oncologic and Functional Outcomes of Active Surveillance and Ablative Therapy for Small Renal Masses A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

🔍 Clinical Question:
To compare the oncologic and renal functional outcomes of active surveillance (AS) and ablative therapy (AT) in patients with small renal masses (SRMs).

💡 Key Insight:
Active surveillance and ablative therapy demonstrated comparable oncologic outcomes, with low metastasis rates (0.6% vs 0.9%) and high cancer-specific survival (99.6% vs 93.5%).

Overall survival was higher with ablative therapy (84.8%) than active surveillance (74.0%), while both approaches demonstrated comparable long-term renal function outcomes. Subgroup analyses (T1a tumors,

NEW IN JVIR: Yttrium-90 Transarterial Radioembolization of a Hepatocellular Carcinoma via Parasitized Adrenal and Renal Capsular Arteries

🔍 Clinical Question:
To present a large hepatocellular carcinoma treated by radiation segmentectomy via parasitized adrenal arteries and a renal capsular artery achieving radiographic response and downstaging to liver transplantation.

💡 Key Insight:
In a patient with a solitary 6.5 cm HCC with minimal hepatic arterial supply, the majority of tumor supply arose from two right superior adrenal artery branches, the right middle adrenal artery, and a right renal capsular artery. Superselective Y-90 radioembolization via these parasitized vessels was performed with preparatory coil embolization of a tiny segmental branch.

Post-treatment SPECT/CT demonstrated radioactivity conforming to the tumor without extrahepatic deposition. At 3 months, tumor size decreased from 6.5 cm to 4.3 cm with minimal enhancement, and alpha-fetoprotein normalized. Explant pathology after liver transplantation at 7 months confirmed >95% tumor necrosis.

👉 Why it matters:
When HCC is predominantly supplied by extrahepatic parasitized vessels (adrenal and renal capsular arteries), meticulous vascular mapping and superselective radioembolic delivery can achieve ablative tumor dose and curative downstaging. TARE via adrenal arteries requires preparedness for acute adrenal insufficiency or hypertensive crisis.

NEW IN JVIR: Transvenous Extrahepatic Portosystemic Shunts (TEPS): Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided Creation of Portocaval, Mesocaval, and Splenorenal Shunts

🔍 Clinical Question:
To evaluate the feasibility and long-term safety and effectiveness of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided transvenous extrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TEPS) creation for patients unsuitable for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation.

💡 Key Insight:
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided creation of portocaval, mesocaval, and splenorenal transvenous extrahepatic portosystemic shunts was technically successful in 100% of 23 patients, with 100% 1-year primary patency and 100% 3-year primary assisted patency. One Grade 3 periprocedural adverse event of acute kidney injury occurred. No Grade >2 major hemorrhage or hollow viscus organ injury. Delayed hepatopulmonary and portopulmonary syndromes, attributed to decreased hepatic clearance of splanchnic vasoactive substances, occurred in 2 patients.

👉 Why it matters:
Transvenous extrahepatic portosystemic shunts may offer a last resort for portomesenteric decompression in patients with obliterated portomesenteric vasculature or an obstructed intrahepatic path. The IVUS-guided transvenous technique is entirely endovascular and provides real-time visualization of retroperitoneal vessels and organs while avoiding open surgery and risk of traversing hollow viscus organs.
