Ep. 334 New Balloon Technologies for CLI with Dr. Peter Soukas

Ep. 334 New Balloon Technologies for CLI with Dr. Peter Soukas

In this episode, host Dr. Aaron Fritts interviews Dr. Peter Soukas taking a deep dive into novel balloon technologies, appropriate uses below the knee, and how these new balloons are highly effective in treating patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). Dr. Soukas explains how these new balloon technologies can minimize the risk of dissections (therefore decreasing the need for bailout stents), create effective lumen gain in concentric and eccentric calcified lesions with minimal recoil, and keep pressures low compared to legacy products. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Cagent Vascular Serranator https://www.cagentvascular.com --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Soukas is an Interventional Cardiologist who is the Founder and Director of the Brown Vascular and Endovascular Medicine Fellowship program, serves as the Director of the Interventional PV Lab at the Lifespan Cardiovascular Institute of Brown, and an Associate Professor of Medicine at the Warren Alpert School of Medicine. We begin by discussing the treatment of CLI, particularly with new below the knee balloon angioplasty devices like the Cagent Serranator and how balloon tech has evolved over time. These new technologies allow for 1000x more force than previous balloon models through unique serration technology at significantly lesser pressures, minimizing the risk of barotrauma and iatrogenic lumen dissections, while allowing for effective luminal gain, and showing success in treating CLI even when calcified lesions are present. What’s more is that there is now a variety of serration balloon lengths available, which was definitely a huge shortcoming in prior scoring balloons with limited sizing. While IVL is the preferred option in terms of treating concentric (360°) calcified lesions, new serration balloons are cheaper and show success in treating both concentric and eccentric calcified lesions with minimal recoil. Dr. Soukas and Dr. Fritts also go on to discuss how using IVUS is critical in visualizing the size, shape, and depth of possible calcifications but also important in picking the correctly sized serration-balloon to get the job done. Dr. Soukas also explains how the serration balloon technology is easily deployable, tracks very well within vasculature, and can even be used below the ankle if needed (with some pre-dilation of the lumen) stating that if the IVUS can fit, usually so can the serration balloon. To wrap up the episode we underscore how important it is to have the right tools in our toolbox to treat patients with CLI, getting as much “red gold” down to the foot as possible to avoid loss of the limb, and a few papers our listeners can check out to learn more about serration balloons (find linked in Resources below). --- RESOURCES CagentVascular.com Prospective Study of Serration Angioplasty in the Infrapopliteal Arteries Using the Serranator Device: PRELUDE BTK Study DOI: 10.1177/15266028211059917 Standard Balloon Angioplasty Versus Serranator Serration Balloon Angioplasty for the Treatment of Below-the-Knee Artery Occlusive Disease: A Single-Center Subanalysis From the PRELUDE-BTK Prospective Study DOI: 10.1177/15266028221134891 PRELUDE Prospective Study of the Serranator Device in the Treatment of Atherosclerotic Lesions in the Superficial Femoral and Popliteal Arteries DOI: 10.1177/1526602818820787

Ep. 48 IR and ENT Treatment of Epistaxis with Dr. Ashley Agan and Dr. Sabeen Dhand

Ep. 48 IR and ENT Treatment of Epistaxis with Dr. Ashley Agan and Dr. Sabeen Dhand

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.
