  • 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.

  • Well done

    I give the BackTable podcast a solid 5 stars for its outstanding combination of practicality, curiosity, and depth. It thoroughly covers every essential aspect for interventionalists, including physician burnout, financial management, useful tips and tricks, and detailed procedural guidance. The conversations are consistently engaging, approachable, and rich with valuable insights that you can apply directly to your practice.

  • 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. 659 Combination Therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Dr. Beau Toskich and Dr. Lingling Du
Q: How do you decide which patient should start with Y-90 versus immunotherapy?
We tailor based on liver function, vascular invasion status, and the volume of disease; if function is preserved and disease is unilobar, front-loading with local therapy can be pursued to control disease before systemic therapy. In borderline cases, a discussion with oncology is essential to balance risks and potential benefits.
Ep. 657 Advanced Techniques in Y90 Cancer Treatment with Dr. Beau Toskich and Dr. Juan Gimenez
Q: But I get asked about Predator all the time because of you. Can you describe and explain what Predator is and how it functions in practical terms?
Predator is a proximal radioembolization technique driven by distal angiosome truncation to confine radiation to the tumor bed. It uses strategies like partial vessel occlusion, selective catheter placement, and adjuncts (gel foam, coils, balloons) to create a controlled flow diversion that concentrates treatment in the intended tissue while preserving healthy liver. It evolved from an angiozoom concept into a reproducible workflow with defined steps, including pre-predation planning, MAA assessment, and careful deployment to minimize non-target dose.
Ep. 649 Y90 Radioembolization Dosimetry: Techniques & Challenges with Dr. Nima Kokabi and Dr. Riad Salem
Q: Can you please go over some basic terms when we use activity, dose, and similar concepts?
Activity is the amount of radioactive material ordered; dose is the energy delivered per unit mass, and they are related but not interchangeable. The choice of activity and how it distributes in tissue determines the final dose.
Ep. 653 Radiation Lobectomy Techniques & Downstaging for HCC with Dr. Beau Toskich and Dr. Chris Malone
Q: So, where do you fall in the line of multiple radiation segmentectomies versus a low bar dose with partition dosimetry?
The distribution needs to be tailored to tumor and liver anatomy; high ablative doses to tumor with a safer, lower background dose is preferred, and planning with cone-beam CT and precise mapping guides where to dose, with the line between segmental ablation and full lobes depending on tumor location and patient goals.
Ep. 652 Central Venous Recanalization: Techniques & Challenges with Dr. Gian Paolo Zamboni
Q: Can you describe the transhepatic approach and when you choose it over other options?
The transhepatic approach is chosen when there are no patent iliac veins and the occlusion extends to the central veins. We access a hepatic vein under ultrasound guidance, advance through the liver capsule with a fine needle, and transition to a sheath and snare system to recanalize from above while maintaining a safe working path and protecting the azygos inflow.
