Ep. 322 Renal Trauma Embolizations with Dr. Nima Kokabi

In this episode, host Dr. Chris Beck interviews Dr. Nima Kokabi about renal trauma embolizations, including imaging workup, embolization technique, and a warning on renal biopsies. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Boston Scientific Embold Fibered Coils https://www.bostonscientific.com/en-US/products/embolization/embold-detachable-coil-system.html --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Kokabi was born in Iran, then moved to Canada where he grew up. He attended medical school in Australia due to the shortage of English speaking medical schools in Canada. After his medical training, he was interested in IR, and came to Yale for a fellowship. He then joined Emory as an attending, where he serves one of the largest trauma hospitals in the country. IR and trauma surgery have a close relationship at Emory, and Dr. Kokabi notes they rely more and more on IR for trauma management, even for things such as penetrating trauma, which is traditionally handled by surgery. Most IR consults for kidney injury are iatrogenic from non-target renal biopsies in a nephrology office. The rules for getting access to a kidney that IRs are trained in are generally not followed by nephrology, and only some have ultrasound guidance for their biopsies. Other consults for bleeding from kidney injury are post-op from a partial nephrectomy or from blunt trauma. To work it up, he gets a 2 phase arterial and venous CT. All kidney injuries are evaluated and reported using the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grading scale. If there is an active bleed, they will go to IR for embolization. If the injury is severe, and there is no parenchymal enhancement, this indicates either the artery or both the artery and vein were transected, and this patient requires surgery. In cases where there is only a small pseudo-aneurysm or a perinephric hematoma, these patients can be monitored with repeat imaging. For the embolization, Dr. Kokabi uses radial access. For his microcatheter, he likes the True Select. He always uses coils in the kidney, while in the liver, he uses gel foam. Some of his colleagues use glue for the kidney. He prefers detachable Embold coils, which are fiber coils with a nitinol pusher, so they don’t kink when being pushed very fast, and can be adjusted if positioning is unsatisfactory. When he is finished, he injects first through the microcatheter and then again through the base catheter to ensure he hasn’t missed any bleeding. He generally follows patients in the hospital for 1-2 days, before signing off. His parting advice to trainees and anyone doing kidney biopsies is to exercise caution, because although it is just a biopsy, it can cause life-threatening bleeding. --- RESOURCES AAST Kidney Injury Scale: https://radiopaedia.org/articles/aast-kidney-injury-scale

Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs here: https://earnc.me/xQPc7h In this episode, Dr. Ashley Agan and Dr. Sabeen Dhand join Dr. Gopi Shah to discuss IR and ENT treatment of epistaxis. We cover the differences in how epistaxis presents for ENT and IR as well as how epistaxis presents in children and older patients. Dr. Agan tells us about the types of nosebleeds that are common and the general treatment algorithm she follows. We discuss nasal packing and decongestant sprays for treatment and how to know when to take the patient to the OR. Dr. Agan talks about isolating the bleeding spot, how to use a foley for posterior nosebleeds, and SPA litigation. We discuss why ENT might consult IR for an embolization. Dr. Dhand tells us about the contraindications for embolization and the procedure for treating the epistaxis. We review the materials that should be used and why it is important to look out for artery connections and pseudoaneurysms. We discuss the pearls and pitfalls of ENT and IR treatment of epistaxis and how to avoid the risk of stroke.
