    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Radiology
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Interventional Radiology

    Background:

    • Childhood malignancy diagnosis often requires advanced imaging techniques.
    • Percutaneous arteriography has been utilized in evaluating suspected pediatric tumors.
    • Assessing the diagnostic yield and risks of arteriography in this population is important.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of percutaneous arteriography in children with suspected malignancy.
    • To determine the diagnostic contribution of arteriography compared to other investigations.
    • To assess the complication rates and identify factors influencing outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 132 percutaneous arteriography investigations in 121 children.
    • Clinical suspicion of malignancy was the primary indication.
    • Data collected on diagnostic information, complications, and impact on patient management.

    Main Results:

    • Arteriography was performed on 132 occasions in 121 children with suspected malignancy.
    • Major complications occurred in 2% of cases; misdiagnosis in 10%.
    • Crucial diagnostic information was obtained in 70%, guiding further management (biopsy, surgery, therapy).

    Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous arteriography is a highly effective diagnostic tool in childhood tumors, particularly abdominal malignancies.
    • It can significantly shorten the diagnostic work-up and guide treatment decisions.
    • Strict case selection and skilled performance are essential to mitigate risks associated with pediatric arteriography.
