Is a larger catheter always the answer for removing pulmonary emboli? Dr. Jay Giri (@jaygirimd) and Dr. Julie Bulman (@juliecbulman) join Dr. Chris Beck (@beckcj) to weigh the benefits and pitfalls of large-bore versus medium-bore catheters, and share tricks for navigating tough anatomy without causing more problems.

Wound care after deep venous arterialization (DVA) runs opposite to almost everything the team has been taught. Dr. Anahita Dua (@AnahitaDua) and Dr. Ripal Gandhi join Dr. Chris Beck (@beckcj) on protecting a maturing circuit. They discuss holding debridement unless the patient is genuinely infected, the three-month window the foot needs, and how to take that decision off the wound care team's shoulders.

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. 📱 Watch the full episode on the BackTable app: na2.hubs.ly/H08wLGs0 This podcast is supported by an educational grant from Sirtex and Guerbet. #VI685 #InterventionalRadiology #MedEd #StopTheBleed #Vascular #Embolization #LiquidEmbolics @hoaghealth @UABRadiology @SirtexMedical @GuerbetGroup

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.

Intermediate-high risk used to be a murky call. Dr. Jay Giri (@jaygirimd) and Dr. Julie Bulman (@juliecbulman) join Dr. Chris Beck (@beckcj) to explain the new guideline subgroups specifically how to spot a C3 versus a D2 patient, who needs escalation, and how real PERT teams are using these categories to guide next steps.

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.
