Dr. Ahmed is an interventional radiologist at the University of Chicago. The doctors dive into various embolization techniques, microcatheters, and embolic materials that are ideal for managing upper GI bleeds. Dr. Ahmed highlights the importance of understanding the etiology of bleeding, differences between arterial vs. venous bleeding, and first-line therapies such as endoscopy. Dr. Ahmed also discusses the utilization of new embolic materials like Obsidio Embolic, which is designed specifically for peripheral use, and its advantages in achieving rapid and complete vessel occlusion. Additionally, the doctors cover pre-procedural imaging, procedural techniques, and operator preferences for microcatheters and embolic devices.
