Ep. 127 Portal Hypertension and Ascites Management with Hepatologist Dr. Parvez Mantry

Interventional Radiologist Christopher Beck talks with Hepatologist Parvez Mantry about the management of Portal Hypertension and Ascites, and the importance of multi-disciplinary collaborative care for these patients. --- SHOW NOTES In this episode, hepatologist Dr. Parvez Mantry joins our host Dr. Christopher Beck to discuss portal hypertension and ascites, two complications that arise from liver diseases and have a large effect on patients’ quality of life. Dr. Mantry starts the episode by sharing statistics on Chronic Liver Disease (CLD) and specifically highlights the burden of CLD on the U.S. population. He discusses various causes of CLD, including Hepatitis C, Alcohol Liver Disease, and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis. Next, Dr. Mantry takes us through his diagnostic workup, including his physical examination, cross-sectional imaging, percutaneous and transjugular liver biopsies, and serological workup. He checks for complications such as portal hypertension, ascites, pedal edema, and hepatic encephalopathy. We also discuss the diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). Then, we transition to strategies for managing ascites and portal hypertension through diuretics, paracentesis, Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunts (TIPS), liver transplantation, and a few experimental treatments that he is currently researching. Overall, Dr. Mantry advocates for close monitoring of symptoms and making treatment modifications as needed. Finally, when focusing on the patient experience, Dr. Mantry offers troubleshooting tips, especially for patients who struggle with leakage from the paracentesis site. To close, he gives insights on how physicians can best support chronically-ill patients who are awaiting transplantation. --- RESOURCES Methodist Transplant Specialists- https://www.theliverinstitutetx.com/ Information about Dr. Mantry’s transplant center and its satellite locations in the Dallas-Ft.

Ep. 70 CO2 Angiography with Dr. James Caridi

Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs here: https://earnc.me/F6p0sz In this episode, Dr. James Caridi joins Dr. Christopher Beck to discuss the benefits of using CO2 for an angiography as well as some important tips for proper use. Dr. Caridi mentions some of the reasons for choosing CO2 rather than contrast, including its solubility, low viscosity, and buoyancy. He also speaks about CO2 angiography approaches for imaging difficult to access vasculature. Dr. Caridi also speaks to specific uses of CO2 angiography for use for mesenteric angiography and how CO2 angiography can improve the sensitivity for detection and localization of GI bleeds. Dr. Caridi and Dr. Beck also discuss some non-vascular uses for CO2 angiography as well as a technique for imaging with CO2 without having to give up wire access. We talk through safely preparing a delivery system and gently injecting CO2 to prevent/reduce reflux in the patient if needed. Finally, we go into some notes concerning dialysis, contrast induced nephropathy, and some instances when CO2 angiography should not be used. Resources mentioned: CO2 Angiography Society http://www.co2angio.org/index.php This website features over 100 pieces of literature related to CO2 angiography, information about the newest developments, and access to membership in the society.
