Ep. 321 New Innovations in Lower GI Bleed Embolization with Dr. Kevin Henseler

In this episode, host Dr. Aaron Fritts and interventional radiologist Dr. Kevin Henseler discuss his treatment algorithm and new technologies for embolization of GI bleeds. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Boston Scientific Obsidio Embolic https://www.bostonscientific.com/obsidio --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Henseler starts by differentiating between lower and upper GI bleeds. Upper GI bleeds tend to be more life-threatening and are most commonly caused by esophageal varices or duodenal ulcers, and many of these consults come from the endoscopy suite. These upper GI bleeds also have a higher risk of recurrence. On the other hand, lower GI bleeds can be more indolent. CTA is the most efficient way to assess the source of GI bleeding. It provides valuable information about the vascular territory, including localization of bleeding, planning where to inject during angiography, and variant anatomy. If CTA is negative for bleeding, Dr. Henseler does not move onto angiography. He monitors the patient for further signs of intermittent bleeding and may re-image or intervene the following day. If CTA does show bleeding, Dr. Henseler moves onto angiography and embolization. He finds that there are few contraindications to angiography. Relative contraindications include renal insufficiency, which is a small tradeoff for a lifesaving procedure, and contrast allergy, which can be addressed with a preprocedural steroid dose. When it comes to methods of embolization, detachable coils have been a mainstay. While they are more expensive than pushable coils, detachable coils allow for more exact placement and increased safety and more IRs are being trained to use these now. Dr. Henseler also discusses the use of embolic particles, which carry risks of end-organ damage and ischemia, as well as embolic glue, which can be difficult to use if the operator does not have sufficient training. Then, we shift gears to discuss Obsidio, a new injectable solid that is soon to be commercially available. It exists as a liquid when it is in its pressurized form within the microcatheter; however, it immediately solidifies in the vessel as soon as the injection ceases. Obsidio is made of radio-opaque tantalum so it is visible on CT, stays permanently in the vessel, and can be used in conjunction with coils if desired. Additionally, its cohesive properties decrease the risk of abdominal extravasation and it can be used with any catheter. --- RESOURCES Dr. Kevin Henseler LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-henseler-364832231/ CTA for Lower GI Bleeds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWEf_sAUGKU Ep. 179- Happiness is a Warm Coil: Treating GI Bleeds: https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/179/happiness-is-a-warm-coil-treating-gi-bleeds Ep. 216- Stick It: Glue Embo: https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/216/stick-it-glue-embo

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.
