Pt referred with uncontrollable fresh PR bleeding with shock. Great learning points. 1. All imaging must show all the GI tract. CT & 1st Angio of IMA did not show bleeding point as did not show whole anal canal. Pt continued to bleed heavily on table #irad #WithoutAScalpel

If the stents are blocked, don't condemn to permanent nephrostomies if urology can't exchange. Exchange the stents yourself!Nephrostomy, buddy wire to maintain access,loop C2 around stent,snare wire & collapse stent into sheath,re-stent,plug track! #irad #WithoutAScalpel #TwittIR

Tip for percutaneous biliary access. Don't inject contrast or hold the needle after successfully puncturing the duct as it often displaces the needle. Pass the wire down the needle and go by tactility and fluoroscopy. Definitely improved my first time access rates! #irad

Stand in the Left side of the patient, 10Fr sheath into the peg for flashing and contrast, 5 Fr Multi-purpose, hydrophilic wire. Usually works nicely.

The importance of waiting for recoil. Perfect example of better results with pronged inflation and waiting 5 min to check for recoil.

"What's an Interventional Radiologist?" If it's blocked we open it up, if it's leaking we shut it down. #IR #iRad #ImageGuidedSurgery

Trying to get learn IR? Break it down: Access, Imaging, Navigation, Treatment, Closure. Learn each separately starting with Access/Closure and work inwards #irad #CIRSE2018 #education

"It is well understood that cardiologists focus on the heart and neurologists focus on the brain, but for interventional radiologists, put simply: we do almost everything, everywhere."

Looking for a kidney bleed? If you can't see it on a renal artery angiogram, do an aortic pigtail run to check for accessory renal arteries #embolisation #trauma #irad
