A new Inside Access interview with Masao Yamamoto-Ramos, MD, EBIR, explores how the SVP classification may help identify patients at higher risk of recurrence and what this could mean for personalized follow-up.

Unlocking true percutaneous surgery.

Yesterday at the American College of Surgeons meeting we presented our first-in-human experience of a purely percutaneous stoma for malignant bowel obstruction in non operative patients.

@SACHINKISHORE82 @CanUrolAssoc @CAIRweb Thanks! Just trying to keep up with innovators like yourself!

Having the study protocol assessed by the reviewers and editors' at @JVIRmedia really helped 👌 the finer details before our first enrollment.

[Derek W. Cool, MD, PhD, FSIR @DerekWCool]

The phase II ARRCC trial has opened and enrolling its first patients for treatment of non-metastatic RCC. Excited to see if selective internal radiation therapy with Y-90 radioembolization can benefit RCC patients!

NO ASSOCIATION BETWEEN PREPROCEDURAL FASTING AND WITNESSED PULMONARY ASPIRATION
A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS

I want to bring to everyone's attention the publication of an article we have been working on for some time.

Ever been annoyed by having cases cancelled because a patient ate recently? I had this happen a couple of years ago. This motivated me to look at the preoperative fasting literature.

I was surprised to learn how little actual evidence there is to support fasting policies.

In our recent publication we point out that 1) aspiration rates are no different now than they were before fasting was imposed before administering anesthesia 2) The studies used in fasting research use surrogate outcomes that have never been shown to be relevant to human aspiration events.

See the article published in Surgery (@SurgJournal) here:

https://t.co/KzdmhSQ2UM

There is a pressing need to rethink preoperative fasting policies. New studies are needed that employ proper endpoints to provide guidance for how long patients really need to fast. My guess is, not very long.
