Abstract

Our aim was to assess the preliminary clinical outcomes of interventional radiology for salivary duct obstruction in relation to salivary duct strictures or calculi. A retrospective analysis of consecutive patients referred for endoluminal procedures by ENT surgeons during a 4-year period were identified. The procedure was performed by a single interventional radiologist under fluoroscopic guidance using wire baskets and angioplasty balloons. Between June 2004 and October 2008, 50 sialoplasties were performed in 43 patients (30 female and 13 male). Twenty-six patients were prepared for 32 procedures for extraction of calculi (13 submandibular and 13 parotid), and 17 patients had 18 procedures for strictures (16 parotid and 1 submandibular). One patient in the group with calculi was judged unsuitable for intervention because the stone had migrated outside the salivary duct. Information was collected regarding the clinical indication; duration and type of symptoms; technical factors; follow-up; and success or failure of reintervention. Complete stone removal was achieved in 18 of the 26 patients (69%), with success on the first attempt in 14 patients (54%). Redo procedures were required in 4 patients (15%), with subsequent comple...Continue Reading
