@uclaVIR ingenuity on full display: first pediatric percutaneous splenorenal shunt. Performed in a child with left segmental liver transplant, complete portal vein thrombosis, and recurrent variceal hemorrhage. @EdLeeUCLAIR uclahealth.org/news/article/…

In @american_heart's Circulation, @uclavir Dr.@JonnyMoriarty & collaborators report primary outcomes from STORM-PE, a RCT of mechanical thrombectomy vs anticoagulation alone for intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism. Results favor thrombectomy at 48 hours. (Jan 2026) Dr. Moriarty is also a principal investigator on PERSEVERE trial, an ongoing RCT evaluating large-bore mechanical thrombectomy versus standard of care in acute high-risk pulmonary embolism. Its rationale and design were recently featured in American Heart Journal (Apr 2026). We look forward to the results with great anticipation!

The best lung cancer care is multidisciplinary! Fantastic recent @_backtable podcast episodes featuring #uclaVIR's @DrGenshaft and @DrSuh, reflecting the collaborative approach that defines UCLA’s weekly thoracic tumor board. And congratulations to @DrSuh, invited by the Clinical Practice Standards Committee of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (@AATSHQ) to coauthor a multidisciplinary expert review of treatments for high risk patients with stage I NSCLC. semthorcardiovascsurg.com/ar… Check out the BackTable episodes below: Episode 589: Lung Cancer Tumor Boards: A Multidisciplinary Approach backtable.com/shows/vi/podca… Episode 597: Ablative Treatments and Radiotherapy backtable.com/shows/vi/podca… Episode 603: Biopsy/Ablation Decision Making backtable.com/shows/vi/podca…

How would you cryoablate this pulmonary lesion? Grab a bone drill! 🦴 @LucasRCmd demonstrates that the transsternal approach can be safe and effective!

That's right!!! this is how we roll!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS to UCLA DR/IR Chief Residents for winning 2026 AAR Kay Vydareny Image Interpretation Competition!!!!!!

The envelopes are open & it's official! We are honored to welcome our newest 12 Diagnostic Radiology & 3 IR-Integrated residents to @RadiologyUcla. You earned this moment. We can't wait to see what comes next. #Match2026 #RadRes #MatchDay #UCLAMatch

@cirsesociety, fantastic meeting again, huge crowds, full rooms, great city, and more PE and DVT than ever

Thanks @SGilyardMD, great to have you involved with @PERTConsortium, and fun times at the gala! @uclaVIR

And just like that, it’s all over. So long #PERT2024, you were fun. Looking forward to the upcoming year with @JonnyMoriarty at the helm and to #PERT2025 in San Diego

The man. The myth. The legend. The @JonnyMoriarty! Looking forward to seeing the amazing things to come next year!

@JonnyMoriarty sets the vision for @PERTConsortium as a #Highyield organization to propel the field of #PE moving forward. #PERT2024 @BrentKeeling @jameshorowitzmd @FMaeWestMD @RosovskyRachel @krosenfieldMD @AWitkin @CharlesBRoss3 @ParthRali @belindariveramd

@JonnyMoriarty President of the @PERTConsortium for 2025! His tenure is most definitely going to be HIGH YIELD for all the initiatives undertaken by the PERT Consortium @krosenfieldMD @RosovskyRachel @BrentKeeling
