Vascular Lesion Embolization Imaging
Arteriovenous malformation in the foot. This is an example of an extensive form of arteriovenous malformation. In most patients, the lesions require aggressive treatment by means of surgical excision, transcatheter embolization, or both. The feeders arise from large-caliber foot arteries, and obvious arteriovenous connections (nidus) are seen. Most of these are centered in the midfoot. next info

- Embolization may have 3 therapeutic goals:
- An adjunctive goal (eg, preoperative, adjunct to chemotherapy or radiation therapy)
- A curative goal (eg, definitive treatment such as that performed in cases of aneurysms, arteriovenous fistulae [AVFs], arteriovenous malformations [AVMs], and traumatic bleeding)
- A palliative goal (eg, relieving symptoms, such as those of a large AVM, which cannot be cured by using embolotherapy alone)
Medical conditions treated by using embolotherapy can be grouped as follows:- Vascular anomalies (eg, AVM, AVF, venous malformation [VM], lymphatic malformation [LM], and hemangioma)
- Hemorrhage (eg, pseudoaneurysms and GI tract, pelvic, posttraumatic, epistaxis, and hemoptysis bleeding)
- Other conditions (eg, tumors, varicoceles, and organ ablation)
I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
