2022-05-27 12:00:33 Commentary on “Outcomes of Stroke Thrombectomy Performed by Interventional Radiologists versus Neurointerventional Physicians”
https://www.jvir.org/article/S1051-0443(22)00759-X/fulltext?rss=yes

The article “Outcomes of Stroke Thrombectomy Performed by Interventional Radiologists versus Neurointerventional Physicians” addresses an important and controversial issue of whether nonneuroscience interventional physicians should be performing stroke thrombectomy (1). There is convincing evidence that stroke thrombectomy improves the clinical outcomes of large vessel occlusion (LVO) anterior circulation strokes and that it is cost effective (2,3). This article provides data to support the position that interventional radiology (IR) physicians with additional training can achieve technical and clinical outcomes similar to those obtained by neurointerventional (NI) physicians.

2022-05-27 11:59:17 Emergent Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Creation for Acute Gastric Variceal Bleeding in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma
https://www.jvir.org/article/S1051-0443(22)00125-7/fulltext?rss=yes

A total of 42 cirrhotic patients (mean age, 51.7 years ± 10.8; 38 men) with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent emergent transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation for controlling acute gastric variceal bleeding (GVB) were included in this multicenter retrospective study. Of these, 37 (88.1%) patients underwent emergent TIPS creation as the first-line treatment to control acute GVB. Five (11.9%) patients underwent emergent TIPS creation as a rescue/salvage treatment to control acute GVB after emergent endoscopic therapy and pharmacotherapy. Open / Comment
