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.
Published on September 2024
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.
