The role of stem cell therapy in IR: Intervencell

1 week ago | interventionalnews.com | Eva Malpass

Maede Rouzbahani (Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran) spotlights current innovations in stem cell therapy in interventional radiology (IR) and its potential within precision medicine. Stem cell therapy has emerged as a transformative approach in IR, focusing on targeted treatments for various organ systems and ischaemic conditions.
“It sounds crazy”: What’s next for interventional devices

1 week ago | interventionalnews.com | Eva Malpass

In an interview with Interventional News, John Kaufman—Frederick S Keller chair of interventional radiology at Oregon Health and Science University, in Oregon, USA, president-elect of the American Board of Radiology (ABR) board of governors, and chief medical officer for Cook Medical—looked back to see ahead, addressing what is next for device development in the interventional arena.
Are we there yet? Computational advancements in interventional radiology

2 weeks ago | interventionalnews.com | Eva Malpass

What computational advancements are set to transform interventional radiology (IR)? Interventional radiologist, Judy Wawira Gichoya (Emory University, Atlanta, USA) weighs in, providing a realistic outlook on developments so far. The enthusiasm of interventional radiologists for new devices that have enhanced our clinical work reveals a notable gap when considering artificial intelligence (AI) as a significant component of our toolkit.
JETi registry reports effective thrombus reduction in lower extremity DVT

Recently presented at the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) annual scientific meeting (29 March–2 April, Nashville, USA), data from the Jet Enhanced Thrombectomy intervention Hydrodynamic Thrombectomy System (JETi; Abbott) registry has demonstrated the device’s effectiveness having surpassed prespecified safety and efficacy thresholds for the removal of thrombus in lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
WAVE trial update reports sustained 12-month survival benefit

2 weeks ago | interventionalnews.com | Eva Malpass

Twelve-month results from the WRAPSODY Arteriovenous Access Efficacy (WAVE) pivotal trial show a statistically significant improvement in target lesion primary patency (TLPP) with the Wrapsody (Merit Medical) cell-impermeable endoprosthesis (CIE) when compared to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA).
Happy 50th birthday to the Society of Interventional Radiology

2 weeks ago | interventionalnews.com | Eva Malpass

How can it be that this specialty society, so associated with concepts of ‘newness’, is old? We know that in 1974 a group of ‘gadgeteers’ (credit to Mike Dake for the term), dressed in plaid bellbottoms, convened in Key Largo in Florida, USA to talk geek. They munched on that year’s new snack called Skittles, and organised their thoughts and schedules with the new-fangled sticky, but not so sticky, Post-it notes.
Resorbability, repeatability and reworking: A case for resorbable microspheres in MSK embolization

2 weeks ago | interventionalnews.com | Eva Malpass

Resorbable microspheres are making waves in musculoskeletal (MSK) embolization, challenging the use of permanent embolics. As clinical evidence supporting their safety and efficacy accelerates, these agents could reshape treatment strategies— offering effective pain relief while reducing long-term risks. In an interview with Interventional News, Ziv Haskal (University of Virginia, Charlottesville, USA) gives pragmatic shape to the emerging future of resorbable microspheres in MSK embolization.
Computer-assisted vacuum thrombectomy device demonstrates “highly” improved device use time

2 weeks ago | interventionalnews.com | Eva Malpass

In a subgroup analysis of the STRIKE-PE study regarding patients treated with the latest iteration of Penumbra’s 16Fr Lighting Flash computer-assisted vacuum thrombectomy (CAVT) device, Brian J Schiro (Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute, Miami, USA) reported improved haemodynamic markers, right/left ventricle (RV/LV) ratio, dyspnoea, and overall, a “highly” improved device use time of 25.5 minutes.
STRIKE-PE interim analysis shows benefit for acute PE patients with syncope

2 weeks ago | interventionalnews.com | Eva Malpass

A STRIKE-PE interim analysis of clinical outcomes of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) patients with or without syncope—an indicator of compromised cardiac output and so increased short-term mortality—has found that patients with syncope who had a higher right/left ventricle (RV/LV) ratio at baseline were restored to a condition similar to patients without syncope following treatment with the Lightning Flash (Penumbra) computer-assisted vacuum thrombectomy (CAVT) device.
Global survey results deem patient awareness a critical obstacle facing IR

2 weeks ago | interventionalnews.com | Eva Malpass

Transcending region and socioeconomic status, a global survey has revealed patient awareness to be a “universal obstacle” that faces interventional radiology (IR) worldwide. These data have also highlighted disparities in training, practice, education, and reimbursement. The survey was aimed to describe the current global state of IR education and practice in different geographic locations, identify factors limiting development and propose strategies to address these challenges.
