  • 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. 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.
Ep. 652 Central Venous Recanalization: Techniques & Challenges with Dr. Gian Paolo Zamboni
Q: What are your go-to techniques and tools for crossing a central venous occlusion, and when do you decide to switch to advanced methods?
We begin with ultrasound guidance, standard catheter and guidewire techniques, using a back-up approach via the femoral vein if the initial wire fails. If crossing fails, we escalate to dual access, snare techniques, and eventually transepatic or transhepatic routes with specialized needles and longer sheaths, staying mindful of the stenosis length and the surrounding structures.
Ep. 652 Central Venous Recanalization: Techniques & Challenges with Dr. Gian Paolo Zamboni
Q: Walk us through your initial workup for a patient needing central venous recanalization.
We start with a CT venogram to map the venous anatomy and identify complete exhaustions of conventional access. If jugular, subclavian, and iliac routes are unavailable, we proceed to a dual-access plan and consider transepatic or transhepatic approaches as needed, always confirming anatomy with imaging before proceeding.
Ep. 645 GJ Tubes: Best Practices & Managing Complications with Dr. Kevin Wong
Q: When deciding whether to convert a GJ tube to a G-tube, who should be involved and what testing is done?
GI involvement is essential. The decision hinges on whether the stomach handles normal feeding; if outgrowing or healing occurs, GI may switch the patient back to a G-tube, sometimes using gastric emptying studies to guide decisions.
Ep. 645 GJ Tubes: Best Practices & Managing Complications with Dr. Kevin Wong
Q: Why do GJ tubes fall out or become dislodged, and what can be done to prevent this?
Dislodgement is often due to balloon failure, improper stoma sizing, or poor tube architecture. Prevention focuses on ensuring appropriate stoma size, using appropriate GJ branding, teaching caregivers balloon checks and proper up/down sizing, and considering tube relocation strategies when anatomy is unfavorable.
