    Quick #IRad PSA: Flipped PICCs do not always need to be exchanged. Sometimes, just flushing the catheter firmly with a 1cc or 3cc syringe is enough. I’ll admit that the below video is the first time I have used this trick on a small-bore tunneled central venous catheter.

    Image-guided drain placement to treat infections is an under-appreciated part of the care provided by interventional radiology (#IRad) that is safer & more effective than surgery. Here, an infection deemed “undrainable” at *two* other hospitals is treated successfully @uab_ir.

    Another successful enterocutaneous fistula plug placement from interventional radiology (#IRad). The disc fell off after ~4 weeks but the patient reports essentially no output at this point and is very happy. Great solution for a tough problem!

    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!

    My last uterine #fibroid embolization consult had to self refer because her local community gynecologist told her, “UFE doesn’t work.” We have ~30 years of experience & multiple randomized trials demonstrating that UFE *does* work. It’s a great uterus-sparing option for women!

    Today is 17 years since the best decision I’ve ever made - amazing to have a friend & partner like this thru med school, research year, the recession, the match, infertility treatments, birth of a child, training, parents’ death, Cubs World Series, & a global pandemic.

    Full clinic schedule this AM but very important for interventional radiology to participate fully in pre-procedure and post-procedure care for best patient outcomes. Our ambulatory #IRad is seeing ~2,000 patients each year now.

    Interventional radiology consulted for obstruction due to #PancreaticCancer after failed endoscopic stent placement. Single session percutaneous biliary access with covered stent placement, and no biliary drain. In #IRad clinic two weeks later, bilirubin down to 2.1 from >23.

    Very pleased to have our renal embolization + cryoablation for T1b renal cell carcinoma protocol accepted into @JVIRmedia! The trial is half enrolled already, and looking forward to the other sites coming on board.
