Objective To investigate the significance of qualitative diagnosis and guidance on treatment for hepatic space-occupying lesion with combined use of CTA,CTAP and lipiodol CT,thus discuss some related questions.Methods By Seldinger technique,10 patients were examined with combined use of CTA,CTAP and lipiodol CT.Results 7 undiagnosed cases were given definite diagnosis through CTA,CTAP and lipiodol CT,3 cases were guided to surgery and intervention therapy and 1 case was detected metastatic sites in time.Conclusion Combined use of CTA,CTAP and lipiodol CT has important significance for the qualitative diagnosis of hepatic space-occupying lesion,and has important value in guidance on surgery and intervention therapy for the patients with hepatic carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of DSA-guided foam sclerotherapy for lower extremity varicose veins.Methods A total of 41 legs in 26 patients with lower extremity varicose veins were treated with foam sclerosing agent of lauromacrogol un-der DSA guidance.4 cases with venous return disorder (3 in iliac vein and 1 in inferior vena cava)were treated with balloon dilatation first,and then lauromacrogol foam sclerotherapy after 24 hours.For injection method,2 patients were injected sclerosing agent through a catheter inserted in the trunk of great saphenous vein of sick limb with retrograde catheterization,and the others were in-j ected sclerosing agent directly in the varicose veins.Results The sclerotherapy was successfully accomplished in all affected limbs of 26 patients.The average dose of lauromacrogol for each patient was 5.88 mL.No serious complications occurred during and after operation.In 1 to 12-month follow-up,varicose veins disappeared in 24 patients (92.3%),the soreness,fatigue and pigmentations disappeared in all patients,the ulcer healed in all limbs.Conclusion DSA-guided foam sclerotherapy is a micro-invasive,safe and ef-fective treatment for lower extremity varicose veins.

Objective To assess the clinical application value of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) by using different-depth needle-puncturing through medial wall of oval foramen under fluoroscopic guidance in treating primary trigeminal neuralgia.Method A total of 32 patients with primary trigeminal neuralgia were enrolled in this study.Guided by fluoroscopic monitoring,RFA by using different-depth needle-puncturing through medial wall of oval foramen was carried out in all patients.The intraoperative exact replication rates of responsible nerve were recorded,and the postoperative one-day,one-week,3-month and one-year cure rates were calculated.Results During the operation,the precise replication rates the neuralgia of branch Ⅰ,branch Ⅱ and branch Ⅲ of the trigeminal nerve were 85.7%(6/7),96.4% and 100% respectively.The postoperative one-day,one-week,3-month and one-year cure rates were 87.5%,93.8%,93.8% and 87.5% respectively.Conclusion In treating trigeminal neuralgia with RFA,fluoroscopy-guided needle-puncturing through medial wall of oval foramen can accurately replicate the pain symptoms of the dominating region of responsible nerve,thus,the trigeminal neuralgia can be precisely treated.Being minimally-invasive and safe with reliable effectiveness,this technique is worthy of clinical application.
