Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine will focus on "New Insights into Clinical Applications of Embolization Techniques," aiming to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and clinical practice. Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that treats various pathologies by selectively blocking blood vessels. It is performed by interventional radiologists and plays a crucial role in treating various conditions by selectively blocking blood vessels. This Special Issue will highlight innovative research that directly impacts clinical practice, as well as practical insights that inform future research directions.
Potential themes and article types include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Musculoskeletal Embolizations: This includes embolization procedures targeting various sites within the musculoskeletal system. Examples include the following:
- Embolization for pain management.
- Embolization of bone tumors.
- Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE): A well-established technique for treating symptomatic uterine fibroids.
- Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE): An evolving treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
- Interventional Radiology Embolizations: Broader applications of embolization within interventional radiology, encompassing various organ systems and pathologies.
- Vascular Malformation Embolizations: Embolization techniques for managing arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and other vascular anomalies.
- Pulmonary Embolism (PE): While the primary focus of the provided summary is on PE, it is important to note the role of catheter-directed therapies, including thrombolysis and thrombectomy, which are technically embolization-related interventions, in the treatment of PE.
- Other Important Interventional Radiology Embolization Topics:
- Portal vein interventions.
- Catheter-directed therapies.
- Catheter-directed thrombectomy.
- Catheter-directed thrombolysis.
The Special Issue welcomes original research articles, reviews, and meta-analyses that contribute to advancing the field of embolization techniques.
