Bronchial to pulmonary artery or pulmonary vein shunting should be considered. Pleural lesions after radiotherapy or inflammation can frequently cause shunting from systemic arteries to pulmonary artery or pulmonary vein. If direct communication is evident, then embolization should be avoided to prevent a systemic embolic showering.
Although rare complications including bronchial necrosis and bronchoesophageal fistula16 have been reported, we have never had serious complications caused by bronchial wall damage.
TIPS AND TRICKS
Superselective catheterization with a microcatheter should be always
the ultimate goal from the technical standpoint.
3-D chest CT and or catheter angiography with rotational CT
capabilities should be carefully analyzed to understand the tumor vascularization.
Review if there are esophageal and anterior spinal branches before
starting to embolize any chest blood vessels.
Antineoplastic agents should slowly be infused to the target artery,
avoiding backflow.
A mixture with contrast material (1:1) is preferable to recognize the
flow.
Immediately after completion of infusion, embolization should be
commenced.
Embolic material should be mixed with contrast material to get good
opacity to check the free flow state.
The end point of embolization is not arterial occlusion but
disappearance of tumor vasculature.
Flow reduction observed on fluoroscopy during the injection of
embolic material is a good sign that the embolization procedure is complete.
SUMMARY
Recent advancement of technology including imaging, microcatheter, and embolic material makes it possible to approach transarterially to the lung and mediastinal malignant lesions. Chemoembolization offers considerable improvement of symptoms to patients with less complication compared to the systemic chemotherapy. In the management of advanced chest malignancies, including primary lung cancer, metastatic lung tumors, and chest wall recurrence of breast cancer, transarterial treatment will play an important role to control life-threatening symptoms and increase survival with quality of life.

Head and Neck Trauma
Goetz Benndor
njuries to the vasculature of the head and neck can be caused by blunt trauma during motor vehicle accidents, falls, assaults, hanging, or sporting injuries1 and may be associated with significant morbidity and
mortality.
29
Whereas carotid injuries are associated with 8% to 18 % mortality, injuries to the vertebral arteries can be associated with 17% to 38% mortality.10 Penetrating vascular trauma is usually caused by sharp objects or instruments, such as knives,
1117
nail guns,18 broken glass, arrows,19 or by
bullets from gunshot injuries (GSIs).
2024
Whereas in Western Europe and Canada, low-velocity stab injuries are the most frequently seen, high-velocity gunshot injuries are by far the dominant cause of penetrating vascular trauma in the United States.
21
Iatrogenic injuries to the carotid, vertebral, and facial arteries by medical tools or instruments are generally rare but may occur during both diagnostic and therapeutic percutaneous procedures or during open surgical procedures.
These include injuries of the carotid during central vein catheter placement,
25,26
inadvertent puncture of the vertebral arteries during cervical
epidural steroid injection,
27,28
or injuries to the facial and maxillary arteries
during orthognathic surgery.
2933
Clustered location of several major arteries, some of which difficult to reach and to control by surgical exposure, is characteristic for the head and neck area. Vascular injuries can result in various lesions with different clinical sequelae ranging from cerebrovascular insults (CVIs) to active extravasation with critical blood loss. Exsanguination and ischemic stroke are the main causal factors of morbidity and mortality for penetrating arterial injury in the head and neck area. Mortality rate is highest in the first 24 hours after presentation, with primary and secondary cerebral ischemic injury accounting for the leading causes of death, followed by exsanguination.
34,35
Because blunt trauma may result in CVI, and if left untreated can lead to stroke in 30% to 50% of all patients, with severe permanent neurologic deficits in 48% to 58%,36 early screening and intervention is important to improve clinical outcome.
6
Nonfatal GSI to the head and neck can be devastating, with mortality in civilian patients ranging from 2% to 29%.
22,37,38
Vascular injury to the carotid or vertebral arteries occurs in 15% to 25% of patients with penetrating injuries to the neck,
39,40
and the stroke rate in patients with arterial injury
ranges is reported to be as high as 15%.
9
Immediate therapeutic measures include hemodynamic control and preventing or decreasing morbidity associated with cerebrovascular insufficiency or embolic phenomena.
20,41
Iatrogenic vascular trauma can present with local symptoms, stroke, or as acute massive bleeding requiring early therapeutic management.
42
Subacute and chronic lesions such as pseudoaneurysms (PAs) or arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) can be initially occult and may present with delay from weeks to months.43 Endovascular treatment (EVT) of vascular lesions following iatrogenic trauma is identical to those caused by penetrating or blunt trauma. Biffl et al.4 have correlated the degree of blunt injury with
clinical outcome (Table 21.1). This grading system may be used to some degree also for penetrating trauma of the carotid and vertebral arteries. However, it is of limited value external carotid artery (ECA) injuries, where luminal narrowing is of no clinical importance, and does not include management of AVFs. The distal internal maxillary artery (IMA) is a relatively frequent location for gunshot-related injuries with massive extravasation that often require emergent endovascular management. Traumatic AVFs in the ECA territory are clinically relatively benign but can cause chronic headaches, bruits, or significant cosmetic problems when involving facial veins.44 They can usually be electively treated.
TYPES OF INJURIES
Trauma in the head and neck can result in a range of arterial and venous injuries. Although venous injuries can also lead to hematomas and drop in hemoglobin, their clinical presentation is often less dramatic and angiographic detection difficult. They are usually self-limiting and rarely require endovascular or surgical management. Arterial trauma on the other hand can lead to rapid critical blood loss or ischemic deficits due to downstream compromise of the cerebral circulation. The spectrum of vascular injuries is wide and ranges from minor wall irregularities and vasospasm caused by blast effects to the surrounding tissue to partial or complete disruption of arterial blood flow to the central nervous system and
rupture or transection with massive extravasation and critical blood loss.
Vessel Injuries without Blood Loss
Minor Wall Irregularities (Grade I)
This most frequently observed injury (~50%) can be seen as simple vasospasm or subtle, minimal luminal irregularities (<25%) that represent minor intimal damages. These small lesions, sometimes only detectable on digital subtraction angiography (DSA), do not notably narrow the arterial lumen or compromise blood flow. Because they can be nevertheless thrombogenic, anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy becomes necessary when carotid or vertebral arteries are involved. Conservative management with warfarin, heparin, low-molecular-weight heparin (Lovenox), or antiplatelet drugs (acetylsalicylic acid [ASA], clopidogrel) and in some cases follow up imaging is advisable
7
,8,45
Because grade I lesion can be associated with strokes in up to 7%,46 routine screening ideally with four-vessel angiography (DSA) is strongly recommended.
Major Wall Irregularities and Dissections (Grade II)
These injuries can present with angiographic findings identical to spontaneous dissections, including luminal narrowing (>25%) and associated intimal flaps. They may be complicated by rapid intraluminal thrombus formation and thus require a more rigorous anticoagulation regime to prevent thromboembolism.8 Of note, studies have failed to demonstrate superiority of anticoagulation over antiplatelet therapy in the prevention of stroke,
46,47
which can impact management in trauma patients in whom antiplatelet therapy is generally preferred by surgeons. In select cases, endovascular management such as stent placement may be required.
24,48,49
Routine angiographic follow-up has been recommended, as up to 61% of patients with grade I to II injuries will require change in management. Both, dissections and the formation of PAs are dynamic processes, and thus show morphologic changes over time that influence therapeutic decision making.
46
An early 7 to 10 days FU DSA is helpful to determine the acuteness of a
lesion.
Pseudoaneurysms (Grade III)
PAs are small (1 to 3 mm) or large (up to several centimeters) outpouchings of the arterial wall caused by focal arterial damage that can lead to an intramural or extramural hematoma with subsequent recanalization. Depending on the extent of the injury, the wall of the PA may be covered by tunica media, adventitia, or just thrombus material. The latter is considered the “classical pseudoaneurysm,” with an angiographic appearance identical to true saccular or fusiform aneurysms. Similar to spontaneous dissections, traumatic PAs, especially with a narrow neck, may heal spontaneously with conservative management including anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy and follow-up computed tomography angiography (CTA) or DSA.
50,51
Follow-up imaging is important to detect trends of progression or regression that impact therapeutic decision making.52 A decrease in size usually indicates healing and justifies conservative management. No signs of regression or enlarging PAs may require interventional therapy. Some authors suggest surgical repair,53 and no clear consensus when to treat asymptomatic dissections or PAs currently exist. However, most operators tend to recommend EVT, and only if there is evidence for worsening on FU imaging.
8,5457
Treatment options are bare metal or covered stents with or without deployment of coils or liquids into the aneurysmal sac. Covered stents may be used in larger wide-necked lesion but can be associated with parent vessel occlusion.57 If simple stenting shows no trend of occlusion within 3 to 6 months, coils are usually safe to deploy through the stent meshes,54 or double stenting is performed.55 Alternatively, coils can be placed in jailing technique during initial stenting. Recently introduced flow diverter can be used as well but represent a rather expensive solution.
58
Liquids such as N-butyl cyanoacrylate ([NBCA] Trufill; DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc., Warsaw, Indiana) and Onyx (Covidien, Irvine, California) can be very efficient to achieve rapid occlusions43 but have a clearly higher (unnecessary) risk of distal migration into the cerebral circulation.
Depending on availability, both CTA and DSA can be used for
screening and follow-up studies. Because detection of minor vascular injuries and visualization of small changes during follow-up can be obscured especially in patients with GSIs and bullet fragments that cause metallic artifacts,59 the author has a strong preference for DSA. Especially, patients with penetrating trauma are oftentimes of relatively young age without significant underlying vascular diseases, which minimizes the risk of neurologic deficit posed by supra-aortic or cerebral angiography that is less than 1% in experienced hands. In our institution, a protocol with at least one short-term angiogram within 7 to 10 days followed by 4 weeks and 3 months is in place.
Occlusions (Grade IV)
Similar to spontaneous dissections, severe arterial injury may lead to an enlarging hematoma in the vessel wall or in the surrounding tissue and to occlusion the arterial lumen. The consequences of interrupting the carotid blood flow on the cerebral circulation depend to a large degree on the functional status of the circle of Willis, but stroke may occur in up to 50%.
46
Vertebral artery (VA) occlusion can be fully compensated by collateral supply of a contralateral VA or ipsilateral cervical anastomoses. If this collateral circulation is insufficient, cerebellar infarcts or, even worse, a devastating basilar artery occlusion may occur especially in cases with unfavorable anatomy or advanced atherosclerosis.60 Due to the dual supply to the posterior fossa, complete VA occlusions may be less dangerous than nonocclusive lesions (grades I to III).46 On the other hand, even a minimal intimal damage is potentially thrombogenic, thus early detection and anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy can be crucial. Further, it is important to be aware that a completely occluded artery following trauma may recanalize and become a new source of thromboembolic strokes. Therefore, prophylactic anticoagulation may be indicated.
Arteriovenous Fistulas
AVFs are not included in Biffl’s grading 4 and rarely caused by blunt trauma. They are more frequently observed following penetrating vascular injuries.
61
Simultaneous injury to arterial and venous vessels creates a channel for arterial blood to reenter the circulation. Traumatic AVFs are usually “single­hole” high-flow lesions that can be small or occult in the beginning, and thus not detectable during initial diagnostic screening, but develop with varying delay.
43,6264
EVT of traumatic AVFs is more or less identical to the one of congenital lesions and performed using stents, coils, detachable balloons, or embolic liquids depending on location and angioarchitecture of the lesion.
44,65,66
As for all arteriovenous shunting lesions, treatment is effective only when the fistula site itself is permanently occluded (either most distal arterial or most proximal venous segment, or both) and can often be performed as planned procedure (Fig. 21.1).
