In this episode, Dr. Jafar Golzarian joins Dr. Michael Barraza to discuss genicular artery embolization for osteoarthritis. Dr. Golzarian describes how he worked and collaborated with orthopedic surgeons to offer this procedure for his patients. He also speaks about some potential underlying causes and aggravating factors for osteoarthritis. Dr. Golzarian provides useful tips on taking an academic approach to setting up trials and what makes his trials different from previous studies on genicular artery embolization. We discuss why patients with osteoarthritis can be a challenge for family practitioners and how collaboration with IR can benefit these patients. We go into the differences in the procedure for hemarthrosis and osteoarthritis. We review some ways to find the best angle to identify an arterial origin for embolization, and we discuss some of the challenges in the embolization procedure and how to adapt to different types of patients.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Monroe joins Dr. Christopher Beck to discuss using intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) as a treatment for retinoblastoma. Dr. Monroe touches on how he has been using telemedicine during this time and the process of considering a patient for IAC. We go over the details of the intra-arterial chemotherapy procedure and we mention some challenges that may arise in dealing with equipment for pediatric patients, specifically how to have a successful procedure while maintaining a low radiation dose. Dr. Monroe speaks about post procedural care including follow-up intervals and what those visits entail. We discuss some of the common complications that can occur during intra-arterial chemotherapy. Dr. Monroe gives some advice about the mental preparation and learning curve that comes with developing skills for IAC.

Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs here: https://earnc.me/gpvwSB In this episode, Dr. Eric Keller joins Dr. Christopher Beck to discuss medical ethics within IR. He speaks about using a bottom-up approach of applied ethics, and we examine why a combination of casuistry and virtue ethics may be helpful rather than principlism. We dig deeper into medical futility and the challenge of prospectively determining if a procedure is futile. Dr. Keller describes how to design a study that can explore medical ethics as well as methods of collecting and presenting data in an ethical way. We discuss advanced care planning, managing bias, and the role that unbounded ethicality plays in research. We talk through some benefits and drawbacks of ethics boards as well as how using decision support aides may improve informed consent and allow patients to become advocates for themselves.
