Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe

Make sure to register for the upcoming webinar on pain management! 📌Thursday, December 5, 17:00-18:30 CET 📄 Programme: https://t.ly/zu7KF ✔️ Registration: https://t.ly/-zCYo This free CIRSE webinar, conducted in collaboration with Medtronic, will delve into the latest advancements in pain management from the IR perspective. It will provide an in-depth exploration of cutting-edge procedures such as vertebral augmentation, ablation, and neurolysis, which are increasingly used to treat a variety of chronic pain conditions. Experts in the field will present the most recent research, discuss emerging technologies, and share best practices for improving patient outcomes. Faculty: Allan Brook, Dimitris Filippiadis, Stefano Marcia, Roberto Luigi Cazzato, MD, PhD #CIRSEwebinar #interventionalradiology #IRad

#CIRSEtakeover with Dr. Mateusz Krasun Hello everyone, Thank you for joining us and following along this week. We have tried to present a few cases and let our employees share insights about our activities. We hope you enjoyed it! Thank you to CIRSE for giving us this opportunity! On the occasion of the upcoming Christmas holidays, we wish everyone all the best. Best regards from what is probably the best IR unit in the world! #interventionalradiology #IRad #södersjukhuset

We thank our industry partners for their generous support in sponsoring this week's ESIR course on liquid embolization! GEM, Guerbet, Medtronic, Siemens Healthineers

#CIRSEtakeover with Dr. Mateusz Krasun As we wrote in our introduction, we have a 24/7 standby covering the entire Stockholm county. We perform a wide variety of emergency interventions, some of them can be advanced - such as GI bleeding, ruptured AAA, or sometimes rescue TIPS. Tonight, one of the most basic and easy procedures, takes a quarter of an hour. Yet, it was lifesaving. #interventionalradiology #IRad #södersjukhuset

We are happy to see how passing the #EBIRexam can spark an IR’s creativity! Many congratulations to Katharina Vogt, EBIR on this fantastic achievement 🎓 Click here to find out how to sign up for the next exam sitting taking place on March 20 ➡️ https://t.ly/CqWzG

#CIRSEtakeover with Dr. Mateusz Krasun When things don’t turn out as they were planned Case by: Christian Smedberg and Niklas Nyman This is a 79-year-old male with hypertension and previous coronary artery intervention. He has a 55 mm AAA and a 26 mm common iliac aneurysm and was accepted for EVAR with iliac branched device to the right EIA/IIA. The iliac branched device was delivered as planned. Due to the angled infrarenal aorta it was decided to use an EVAR graft with suprarenal fixation. Figure 1 shows a type 1 endoleak which was treated with a proximal cuff that partially covers the right renal artery and also both left renal arteries (Figure 2). We used an Aptus introducer and stented all three renal arteries with Advanta 7x22 mm dx and two 6x22 mm sin. (Figures 3 and 4). A four-hour procedure ends well. 🙂 #interventionalradiology #IRad #södersjukhuset

A great kickoff to the liquid embolization course in Strasbourg today! Under the expert guidance of Prof. Christoph Binkert and Prof. Bernhard Gebauer, the day began with an in-depth exploration of the technical aspects of various liquid embolics. Participants then moved on to hands-on device training and in-vivo animal lab workshops. Tomorrow, they will have the opportunity to explore strategies for adapting when complications arise.

#CIRSEtakeover with Dr. Mateusz Krasun Case by: Gustaf Lindberg and Niklas Nyman A 70-year-old male with a history of cirrhosis, resected hepatocellular carcinoma, and cardiovascular disease presents with abdominal pain and sepsis. CT shows widespread intramural gas in the proximal small intestine and gas in the portal veins, along with stenosis of the SMA and celiac trunk. During laparotomy, a large segment of necrotic small bowel was identified, with ischemic, non-necrotic segments at both ends, including the distal duodenum and proximal jejunum. The abdomen was left open, and an interventional radiology team placed a 6x26mm stent in the SMA to restore blood flow to the ischemic segments. Angiography showed improved flow. On second-look laparotomy, the affected duodenum and jejunum showed nearly normal color, though peristalsis was not fully restored. The necrotic bowel was resected, and short-term follow-up has been successful. #interventionalradiology #IRad #södersjukhuset

#CIRSEtakeover with Dr. Mateusz Krasun Cases by: Christian Smedberg, Viktor Mill, Niklas Nyman, Mateusz Krasun, Marteinn Smárason and Mareia Talvitie At Stockholm South General Hospital, interventional radiologists and vascular surgeons work together on both elective and acute cases. Although a general decline in the incidence of ruptured aortic aneurysms has been seen, we have treated three patients in the last month with emergency EVAR. All patients had challenging anatomy and needed occlusion with an aortic balloon to maintain adequate systemic circulation during the procedure. So far, the short-term outcome has been excellent. #interventionalradiology #IRad #södersjukhuset #vascularsurgeon #EVAR

It’s good to be a CIRSE member! Dr. Alex Barnacle agrees; we spoke to her to discuss the impact that CIRSE membership has had on her career and her new role as the chairperson of CIRSE’s membership committee.
