  • BT is an asset to IR

    This podcast provides a valuable service to Interventional Radiology. As someone who has practiced in a diversity of settings from premier academic, to private practice, to OBL. I feel that this podcast has valuable content for every practice setting.

    You can listen to specific episodes on procedures you are developing and it will definitely help you get started and get better. Listening to episodes on procedures I am not involved in has also re-stimulated my curiosity and love for IR.

  • Episode 381 Anesthesia

    Another outstanding episode and discussion about sedation and escalation to anesthesia. Collaboration with anesthesia and building their resources into your IR platform improves access and effectiveness. It’s more than an anesthesia machine. Getting their Omnicell and proper gas access into the room while formalizing escalation strategy has been effective at our institution. Bringing anesthesia in has drastically improved our patient experience and also has elevated our ability to do more advanc... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 671 Managing Pulmonary Embolism: Guidelines & Clinical Decisions with Dr. Timothy Fernandes and Dr. Robert Lookstein
Q: When deciding on intervention versus medical therapy for intermediate-risk patients, how do you balance guidelines with individual patient trajectories and available resources, such as CT surgery or ECMO?
Decision-making is anchored in risk categories but flexibly uses trajectory and physiology; centers with VA ECMO or rapid access to surgical support may escalate earlier for unstable patients, while guideline-driven thresholds are applied cautiously, always prioritizing patient safety and local capability.
Ep. 671 Managing Pulmonary Embolism: Guidelines & Clinical Decisions with Dr. Timothy Fernandes and Dr. Robert Lookstein
Q: Could you elaborate on how a PERT team is constituted and activated in a typical hospital, and what triggers the team for a pulmonary embolism case?
A PERT team usually comprises pulmonary/critical care physicians, interventional radiology, cardiac surgery, and ICU specialists; activation often happens via AI-assisted flags or ER referrals, with decisions guided by risk stratification and available resources to determine who should intervene and who can be managed medically.
Ep. 670 Understanding IR Attrition: Causes & Solutions with Dr. David R. Mittelstein
Q: What were the key drivers of attrition identified in the data?
Key drivers included lifestyle concerns, uncertainties about job markets in IR versus DR, perceived realities of call burdens, and a desire for a more integrated, better-structured IR curriculum that would deliver early KM gains in skills and confidence.
Ep. 670 Understanding IR Attrition: Causes & Solutions with Dr. David R. Mittelstein
Q: Before we jump into the survey specifics, how many residents were surveyed and how was it conducted?
The survey reached about 189 respondents through SIR listservs, with 166 current integrated IR residents providing a cross-section that included various PGY levels, and some DR-interested individuals as well; the responses were analyzed to identify attrition drivers rather than simply counting dropout rates.
Ep. 669 Advancements in Pulmonary Embolism Algorithm & Management with Dr. David Dexter and Dr. Maya Serhal
Q: Maya, could you speak a little bit how it works at your institution and how your team engages with the PE response pathway?
At Mass General, activation typically goes through a vascular interventional fellow and escalates to the attending. We've built a system where most calls are appropriate for intermediate to high-risk PE, with a structured pathway that leverages the PE response team and cardiology input to guide both medical and procedural management.
