AIM: To report our experience with computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) of iliopsoas abscesses
Percutaneous Balloon Angioplasty of Renovascular Hypertension in Pediatric Cases
Purpose : To investigate effectiveness of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) in treatment of renal artery stenoses due to Takayasu arteritis (TA), fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) and neurofibromatosis (NF)

Renal transplant ureteral stenosis: Treatment by self-expanding metallic stent
We report the use of a metallic stent in a transplant ureteral stenosis. A 28-year-old man with chronic renal failure due to chronic pyelonephritis, who received a living-donor renal transplant, presented with transplant ureteral stenosis. The stenosis was unresponsive to balloon dilation and was treated by antegrade placement of a self-expanding Memotherm stent. The stented ureter stayed patent for 3 years. It may be reasonable to treat post-transplant ureteral stenosis resistant to balloon dilation with self-expanding metallic stents. However, long-term follow-up is required to evaluate the efficacy of this treatment
Transcatheter coil embolization of an intercostal artery to pulmonary artery fistula
An 18-year-old asymptomatic male was found to have a high-flow systemic arterial to pulmonary arterial fistula fed by dilated lower intercostal arteries draining via pulmonary artery toward the left main pulmonary trunk. Transcatheter Guglielmi Detachable Coil (GDC. Target Ther, Fremont, Calif.) embolization was performed. Transcatheter embolization is a reasonable and less invasive mode in the treatment of systemic artery to pulmonary artery fistula, and GDC offers more precise coil placement over other conventional coils
