How can interventionalists master liquid embolics techniques and engage with institutions to successfully bring them into clinical practice?

Dr. Oleksandra Kutsenko and Dr. Alex Misono (@MisonoVIR) join Dr. Kavi Krishnasamy (@kavikrishVIR) to break down the parts of novel embolic adoption that nobody trains for: how to select cases and gather guidance for building early experience, strategies to strengthen your case for institutional adoption, and practice workflows that keep these agents prepared for any case that demands their use.

The anastomoses are real, so the assumption was that embolizing one vessel covered its neighbor.

Dr. Amin Astani and Dr. Anish Ghodadra (@AGhodadraMD) join Dr. Kavi Krishnasamy (@kavikrishVIR) on what happened when they went back and looked. They discuss the residual blush that showed up on selective runs, why the branches appear to feed different parts of the synovium, and the risk of washing out your own work from the other side. They also discuss their follow-up strategy and what prompts a repeat GAE.

There is a statistically significant survival difference at the 400 Gy tumor dose threshold, and again at 200 Gy.

Dr. Tyler Sandow (@bayouteazy) and Dr. Ryan Hickey join Dr. Kavi Krishnasamy (@kavikrishVIR) on where the ceiling might sit. They discuss the shift away from body surface area dosing, and how much of the gain comes simply from being more deliberate.

Bleeding, not prolapse, makes the case for hemorrhoid artery embolization (HAE).

On this episode of the BackTable Podcast, Dr. Ally Baheti (@bahetimd) talks with Dr. Scott Thompson and Dr. Kristen Rumer (@RumerMDPhD) about their approach to HAE, including selection, technique, and the pearls that matter most.

Why does a patient need a severe wound before deep vein arterialization is considered?

Dr. Anahita Dua (@AnahitaDua) and Dr. Ripal Gandhi join Dr. Chris Beck (@beckcj) to discuss how trial design shaped the classic indication, why rest pain and tissue loss are two sides of the same coin, and where clinical practice is moving next.

Thirty or forty cases in, he switched his access and the procedure times dropped by half. Dr. Anish Ghodadra (@AGhodadraMD) and Dr. Amin Astani join Dr. Kavi Krishnasamy (@kavikrishVIR) on pedal access for genicular artery embolization (GAE).

They discuss closing the foot regardless of patient size, bringing the radial cocktail down to the dorsalis pedis, and the imaging trade-off that keeps the other operator on an antegrade approach.
