Renal artery size varies widely; stent filters don't fit
By Eric Barnes
A review of abdominal multidetector-row CT (MDCT) angiograms found significant size differences between left and right renal arteries, between men and women, and between patients. These differences have serious implications for the increasingly common use of distal filtering devices to prevent distal atheroembolization after percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA). The devices are designed for carotid and coronary arteries, and more often than not don't fit, according to the study authors.

UFE without standard aortography cuts radiation dose
By Shalmali Pal
Because some women undergoing uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) may also require ovarian artery embolization (OAE), aortography is routinely performed to assess ovarian arterial supply. But eliminating this step, especially because less than 1% of UFE patients have significant collateral artery supply, could cut procedure-related radiation dose by 20%, according to a Washington, DC-based group.
