Quarterly update

with Social Media Editor Sara Lojo

Dr. Sara Lojo is passionate about interventional radiology and has been involved in the editorial board of many publications since her training. She considers editorialism to be a fundamental tool for training, encouraging its development and bringing it closer to the new generations of IR professionals.

 

In this Quarterly Update, she will highlight key issues in IR and accompanying CVIR Endovascular articles on the topic.

 


Quarterly Update #4: Complications in IR

Undoubtedly, complications are part of our lives and, of course, also part of interventional radiology. It is just as important to take them into account in order to prevent them as it is to have sufficient skills and resources to help us resolve them. From haematoma to abscess to arterial rupture, the complications are countless and can become a complicated Trojan horse.

Below we review 10 very interesting articles, published in CVIR endovascular, in which we will review not only specific pathologies, but also how to avoid and deal with complications, and above all, how to learn from them. We hope you find them interesting.

Quarterly Update #3: Paediatric interventions

It took years after the birth of IR in 1953 before the first percutaneous closure of a patent ductus arteriosus was described in 1981, or the first splenoportographies were performed in paediatric patients by Charles Dotter himself in 1971.

 

Not so far from our days, one of the first text dedicated exclusively to paediatric radiology was published in 2014 by Michael Temple and Francis E. Marshalleck, describing paediatric interventional procedures. Paediatric interventional radiology remains as an unknown area to many of us, but its knowledge is completely necessary and with infinite possibilities of which we must be aware and keep up to date, at least in the basic management of these patients.

 

Here is a selection of what has been published in CVIR endovascular, from generic reviews to clinical cases, tools that help us to keep up to date in the management of the youngest patients.
