I love my job, my coworkers and patients. I can’t imagine doing anything else. But, I haven’t been truly excited about anything in medicine in a long time, until now. We have completed our first two EndoVascular AV Fistula creations with WavelinQ and couldn’t be more excited!

This day was one of the best of my professional career.

We talked, texted, or did a procedure weekly for 2 1/2 years. Over this time, he underwent:

176 paracentesis
2 TACE
1 port placement
1 TIPS and 2 portal thrombectomy

By the end of the first year, I had lost all objectivity. He had become like family. Heck, some weeks I saw him more than my own family. My partners and I and our entire #iRad staff had become obsessed with getting him to transplant. My kids even knew the story and asked about him by name.

He was admitted exactly 2 weeks prior to this photo in liver failure with encephalopathy - we emergently transferred to our regional transplant center. After 11 hours of surgery and only 11 days inpatient recovery he convinced the transplant surgery team to let him finish his recovery at home. And that very day he came walking into our clinic.

I share this story (with permission) to remind those of us who are out in the community practicing interventional oncology, that we have a tremendous opportunity to impact the lives of our patients with #LiverCancer. And that that getting emotionally invested in your patients is not something to be avoided. Keep fighting and working on behalf of your patients. Wins like this don’t come easy, but they are incredible when they do.

Percutaneous gallbladder cryoablation for a non-surgical patient with chronic cholecystitis. Patient doing great on follow up with no abdominal pain and no evidence of leak. This is an exciting new #IRad procedure!

Another surgery gone bad? No problem, IR is in house.

You know you’ve been embolizing for a large portion of the night when your GPS looks like branching vessels. 🤣

What’s your favorite procedure? Ureteral stenting is definitely top 3….
