    Abstract Background: This study aims to assess the role and safety of post-dilatation in protected carotid artery stenting (PCAS) using the new MicroNet-covered 2nd-generation stent assessed by cone beam CT scans.
    Methods: From March 2020 to March 2022, patients were enrolled in the study according to CT angiography results based on the following criteria: Evidence of 70% to 99% carotid stenosis in asymptomatic patients and 50% to 99% in symptomatic patients, per the NASCET index. Using a FilterWire EZ™ (Boston Scientific, Natick, MA, USA) embolic protection system (EPS), MicroNet-covered stent PCAS was performed by two interventional radiologists with at least 8 years of experience in endovascular intervention. Each patient underwent post-dilatation following stent placement. Finally, a third radiologist (not participating in the interventional procedures) evaluated the cone beam CT scans and calculated residual stenosis. Major and minor complications were recorded in the 30 days following the procedure.
    Results: A total of 192 patients (121 male, mean age 73±10 years) were included in the study, and all patients received post-dilatation following stent implantation. Technical successes were achieved in all procedures. Adverse events noted in this study were limited to periprocedural transient ischemic attacks that occurred in three out of 192 patients (1.6%) and showed a swift complete recovery. The post-dilatation balloon diameters used in the study were: 5.0 mm (30.3%), 5.5 mm (39.3%) and 6 mm (30.3%). Optimized postdilatation resulted in a significant increase in the final luminal area. Similar improvements were observed in all subtypes of plaque.
    Conclusions: Post-dilatation in protected CAS is safe and induces a significant improvement in the cross-sectional area regardless of the stenotic plaque.

    Abstract Hemopericardium (HP) is defined as the accumulation of blood in the pericardial sack. In a clinical setting, prompt identification of the presence of HP is of huge importance, because HP can result in pericardial tamponade. While echocardiography remains the most appropriate method for the evaluation of pericardial effusions in the clinical setting, postmortem imaging computed tomography (PMCT) is a valuable instrument for detecting the presence of HP and in evaluating its significance in causing mechanical impairment of cardiac activity and finally death. In this article, the actual knowledge on PMCT imaging findings related to HP are reported, with particular attention to the assessment of its significance with relation to the forensic diagnosis of the cause of death. According to the present work, the diagnosis of pericardial tamponade due to HP might be considered one of the critical fields of investigation where classical autopsy may fail and where PMCT imaging may offer its most important aids.

    Abstract Osteoid osteoma represents 10%-12% of all benign bone tumors, and is composed by osteoid tissue and reticular and immature bone tissue. Acetabular involvement is very rare (≤1%). In this case report, we describe the treatment of an osteoid osteoma of the acetabulum of a young man using cryotherapy under fluoroscopic guide with the new XperGuide system which is used to reduce X-ray radiation dose and to have a more accurate localization of the lesion compared to computed tomography-guided or surgical ablation.

    Abstract Gastrointestinal angiodysplasia represents the cause of 6% of lower gastrointestinal tract bleeding, particularly in the elderly. Because of the common presentation and age range of affected patients, often patients with occult or massive gastrointestinal bleedings are investigated with colonoscopy, in the suspect of colonic cancer. Other methods are capsule enteroscopy, angiography, double-contrast barium enema, computed tomography angiography, and radionuclide scanning. In this contribution, we describe a case of colonic angiodysplasia first suspected during computed tomography colonography performed after an incomplete colonoscopy in a patient with recent anemization. The purpose is to highlight the computed tomography colonography imaging characteristics of this rare finding during such examination performed due to suspected colon carcinoma as a complementary or substitutive method of colonoscopy.

    Abstract Renal artery stenosis commonly manifests with hypertension refractory to medical treatment. We report a case of renal artery stenosis occurring in a 19-year-old female patient who presented with extremely high blood pressure and bilateral renal stenosis at the duplex ultrasound. Renal angiography confirmed the bilateral and irregular stenosis due to fibromuscular dysplasia, associated to extent collaterals suppling the poststenotic right renal artery. Therefore, angioplasty with drug-eluting balloon was performed in order to obtain a good vessel patency and to improve patency in the long term follow-up. After the endovascular treatment the blood pressure improved markedly, maintaining this result at 12 months follow-up at clinical examination and duplex ultrasound.

    Abstract Purpose: To clarify the role of endovascular treatment in patients with Critical Hand Ischemia of the distal upper extremity.
    Methods: From January 2012 to January 2017, 18 dialyzed patients presented chronic critical hand ischemia; 6 patients had a chronic occlusion of the ulnar artery and radial artery stenosis, 5 patients had a chronic occlusion of the radial artery and ulnar artery stenosis, 4 patients presented multiple stenosis of the ulnar, radial and interosseous arteries, 2 patients had only ulnar artery occlusion while one patient presented only radial artery occlusion. All patients underwent duplex ultrasound and a subsequent brachial angiography, in order to evaluate the distal run-off circulation. Revascularization was achieved via antegrade brachial puncture in all patients, with retrograde approach in 4 patients, with distal retrograde puncture in 3 patients and in one patient with loop technique.
    Results: No complications were observed during the periprocedural follow-up. One patient was not successfully revascularized (technical success rate: 94.4%). The patient had no direct flow after ulnar artery angioplasty. The procedure was clinical effective in 15 patients (clinical success rate: 83.3%). Clinical evaluation and Duplex-US were performed in the follow up period. TcpO2 evaluated in the perilesional skin surface increased from 20.2 ± 6.5 mmHg to 53.8 ± 13.1 mmHg in the follow up period (P < .01). We observed an improvement of pain, ulcers and infection healing in all treated remaining patients during the postoperative period.
    Conclusion: Percutaneous intervention prevents hand loss and functional impairment in patients with Critical Hand Ischemia and multiple comorbidities.

    Abstract We report a 26-year-old male patient who was admitted to our emergency department after a traffic accident and who suffered from neck pain. We have found accidentally a dorsal spinous process schisis, a very rare vertebral abnormality, that we recognized in the X-rays imaging performed for the study of the lung parenchyma.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the potential role, safety, and efficacy of paclitaxel-eluting balloon angioplasty for treatment of recurrent carotid in-stent restenosis (ISR).
    Methods: Among 856 consecutive patients who underwent carotid artery stenting from May 2002 to January 2008, 41 patients had a significant ISR (>80% stenosis). Of these, 9 patients (7 women; mean age 78.1±5.6 years) had recurrent ISR despite multiple endovascular treatments (3.4±0.9 interventions) within a short period of time (2-5 months). These patients were treated with drug-eluting balloon (DEB) angioplasty for neointimal hyperplasia. Imaging (ultrasound or computed tomographic angiography) was performed at 1, 3, and 6 months and yearly thereafter.
    Results: Technical success was obtained in 100% of cases, with angiographic stenosis decreasing from 87%±4% to 6%±4% post treatment. Peak systolic velocity decreased significantly from 4.7±1.5 m/s to 0.6.±0.3 m/s after the procedure. Over a mean follow-up of 36.6±2.7 months, ultrasound imaging indicated recurrent ISR in only 3 patients at 18, 25, and 32 months after DEB angioplasty, respectively. The target vessel revascularization rate was 33.3% at 36 months. No neurological or myocardial events were recorded during follow-up. One patient died at 3 months.
    Conclusion: DEB may have a potential role improving outcomes of those patients treated for early recurrent carotid ISR.
