Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Intravenous Regional Anesthesia

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Intravenous Regional Anesthesia

Intravenous regional anesthesia or the Bier block technique is used to anesthetize a specific limb or extremity. It uses exsanguinated or blood-drained vessels to transport local anesthetics or LAs to the peripheral nerve trunks. Lidocaine without vasoconstrictors like epinephrine is most commonly used for this technique. Other drugs used are prilocaine, ropivacaine, and chloroprocaine. Bupivacaine is not recommended for this technique due to its high cardiac toxicity.
One of the advantages of...

Summary

Targeted lung chemotherapy improves drug effectiveness and reduces side effects. This review covers four vascular techniques for regional lung cancer treatment: bronchial artery infusion, pulmonary artery chemoembolization, isolated lung perfusion, and lung suffusion.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Vascular Surgery
Pharmacology

Background:

Selective chemotherapy delivery enhances efficacy and minimizes systemic toxicity.
Regional lung chemotherapy aims to palliate or cure lung conditions.
Intravascular surgical techniques are crucial for targeted lung drug delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the history, rationale, and technical aspects of regional lung chemotherapy.
To summarize clinical experiences with four vascular-delivered chemotherapy techniques.
To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of targeted lung chemotherapy.

Main Methods:

Review of historical data and clinical studies on regional lung chemotherapy.
Description of four intravascular techniques: bronchial artery infusion, pulmonary artery chemoembolization, isolated lung perfusion, and lung suffusion.
Analysis of the rationale and technical considerations for each method.

Main Results:

The overview details the development and application of four distinct regional lung chemotherapy delivery methods.
Clinical experience with these techniques in primary and adjuvant settings is discussed.
The feasibility, safety, and efficacy of these targeted approaches are examined.

Conclusions:

Regional lung chemotherapy via vascular manipulation offers a promising strategy for lung cancer treatment.
Techniques such as bronchial artery infusion and isolated lung perfusion show potential for improved outcomes.
Further investigation into these targeted delivery systems is warranted for oncological applications.
