@WCVISociety @NorthwesternIR Thank you to the amazing organizing committee! It was a pleasure.

Authors propose a modern protocol and guidelines for the approach to acute cholecystitis among patients who are ineligible for surgery.

Awesome work by Alec Jost & @hsinghIR getting data out this quickly from their SIR Foundation-funded registry! This has truly been a well-organized, collaborative effort amongst many interested IRs from across the country. @JVIRmedia #IRad

Join the conversation with Daniel Borja-Cacho, MD, Aziz Aadam, MD ,and Ahsun Riaz, MD, as they discuss a complex biliary case involving a patient with advanced stage cancer.

So proud of this amazing young man!

[Ali Husnain, MD @alihusnain186]

Peak moment of my life as an aspiring interventionalist—I matched at my #1 choice! All thanks to my incredible mentor, @AhsunR, who not only inspired me to dream of it but also helped me achieve it.

Here’s to dreaming big and beating the odds!

Excited to share that our educational exhibit from @LurieRad has been selected for @RadioGraphics !

Grateful to @ShankswaranIR and @AhsunR for their mentorship.

@DrNeilGuptaIR @nhsuhcw Great job, Dr Gupta. We have done double cholecystoduodenal stenting in 65 patients at Northwestern.

Our initial experience without lithotripsy https://t.co/1zLFE2Siz2

Now we do lithotripsy and stone retrieval.

Minimal pancreatitis in 8% patients.

@EzraTeitelbaum @DouglasAdlerMD @EricKnauerMD @mj_pucci @MBosleyMD @cutitoutPODCAS1 @amber_shada @JRTriggs I agree with a cholecystectomy with bile duct duct exploration. The 1.2 cm stone may need lithotripsy. Cool case.

Perc chole with subsequent interventions such as lithotripsy and lithectomy (including of the CBD stone) only if the patient is not a surgical candidate.

[Ahsun Riaz @AhsunR]

@EzraTeitelbaum @DouglasAdlerMD @mj_pucci @SIRspecialists Thank you, Ezra! I believe this option (percutaneous lithotripsy with dual cholecystoduodenal stenting) is a viable one for patients with percutaneous cholecystostomies who want to get their drains out!

Proud of you, Ali!

Beyond excited and looking forward to present our work at #SIR24SLC from @NorthwesternIR on complex hepatobiliary interventions alongwith @Chris_Neely_ . Incredibly grateful to the mentorship of @AhsunR and special thanks to the amazing team.

Image and endoscopy guided stone retrieval in a patient with a 5-year history of multiple abscesses due to dropped gallstones after a cholecystectomy.

All through a sub-centimeter hole.

@ShofnerWhitney @DHidlayVIR @NURadiology @NorthwesternIR @NMGastro @SIRspecialists @EzraTeitelbaum @gastrowala @hsinghIR @radtrivedi @AmmarSarwarIRad @pakIRSP @SAGES_Updates I did use SpyGlass Discover. I have done 5 now with success in 4. 1 had chronic scarring around the stones which did not allow visualization.
