The European Commission’s Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety (DG SANTE) is conducting a study to monitor the availability of medical devices and in-vitro diagnostics on the EU market. As part of the study, a survey has been launched to help identify unavailabilities of medical devices and in vitro diagnostic medical devices. All healthcare professionals, health institutions, and medical device procurement bodies are invited to participate. The survey only takes 10-15 minutes to complete. Deadline is Sep. 30! ➡ Access the survey here: https://t.ly/36Rg9

For today’s #ClinicalIRTuesday, Marco Calandri shares some thoughts on his presentation in the upcoming focus session at #CIRSE2024, "Communication with the patient." "Interventional procedures are at the core of our work. We know how to perform them, how to manage complications, and how often they occur. Our patients, however, may not. Sometimes, they don’t even know who we are or what interventional radiology entails. For this reason, we need to dedicate more time to our patients—to establish a strong connection with them before, during, and after the procedure. In our institution, a crucial moment for the success of the treatment is the ultrasound planning visit, where we strive to build a genuine connection with our patients by explaining the pros and cons of percutaneous treatment. Even just before the procedure and anaesthesia, a calming approach is essential for ensuring a positive experience for the patient. Finally, it’s important that patients don’t feel abandoned or handed off to another physician after the procedure. Taking the time to explain the results of our treatments and making patients aware of our clear follow-up pathway dedicated to them is the best way to ensure they receive long-lasting benefits and retain a positive memory of our specialty." Don’t miss the session on Saturday, September 14, 10:00-11:00 in Room 3.B. The focus session will be moderated by Jafar Golzarian and features presentations by Vasileios Rafailidis, Attila Kovács and Colin Nice. https://lnkd.in/gqJGBpQQ #IRgoingClinical #CIRSE

#CIRSEtakeover with Dr. Joo-Young Chun We’ve come to the end of the week and my CIRSE takeover! I’d like to thank CIRSE for giving me the opportunity to share what I believe are important facets of our specialty. And I’d like to thank all of you who have shared the social media journey with me this week. I hope you’ve enjoyed getting to know my team and the work that we do at the St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust IR department. Many of us will be attending #CIRSE2024 and we look forward to seeing you in Lisbon!

#CIRSEtakeover with Dr. Joo-Young Chun The last interesting case of this week! A 78-year-old diabetic man presented with worsening rest pain and a new ulcer in his left foot. Angiograms show a long and heavily calcified SFA occlusion and diffuse tibial disease. The SFA occlusion required retrograde recanalization via the dorsalis pedis and SAFARI technique. The occlusion was pre-dilated with a 3mm plain balloon followed by a 7mm Shockwave IVL and drug-eluting balloon angioplasty. Completion angiogram showed a widely patent SFA with single-vessel runoff to the foot. We’re treating more patients with diabetes, CKD on renal replacement therapy and generally more advanced PAD. As a result, calcium is becoming an increasing challenge, especially in patients with CLTI. Intravascular lithotripsy has been used successfully in cardiology for calcified coronary arteries and the technology has recently taken hold in PAD. There is still a paucity of evidence in PAD, and we need some good-quality outcome data on how effective IVL is in real-life CLTI patients. The CALCIO study is a Europe-wide, prospective, observational cohort study sponsored by CIRSE’s research arm Next Research. The study aims to recruit 400 patients over 2 years, followed by a period of 2-year follow-up. And recruitment is now open! What I like about the study design: •Real-life patients meet the inclusion criteria – All adult patients with CLTI and calcified femoropopliteal or crural lesions who are treated with IVL. This means the study findings will be relevant to the patient population we treat day-to-day. •Main study outcomes are wound healing, major amputation, and amputation-free survival - outcomes that have a clinical impact on our patients. •Patient reported quality of life assessment – this is quite unique and gives the patients a say in how much difference the treatment has made to their lives. I am very proud to be the Principal Investigator at St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and excited to take part in this study. We had the green light to start recruiting this week!

#CIRSEtakeover with Dr. Joo-Young Chun As IR continues to expand as a specialty, we need to have systems in place to review our practice and ensure patient safety. Complications will occur from time to time and it’s important to learn how to reflect on these events and to learn as a team. We hold monthly Morbidity & Mortality meetings in our unit. Attendance is mandatory for all IR consultants and fellows, as part of our commitment to clinical governance. It’s a hybrid meeting to ensure as many people can attend each meeting as possible. As the chair, it’s my role to facilitate open discussion and encourage shared learning from our adverse events. The mainstay of the meeting involves systematic analysis of the sequence of events that led to the adverse event and identifying root causes and contributing factors. Each adverse outcome is graded by consensus according to the CIRSE classification. Recommendations to address key issues are also reached by consensus and an action point is assigned to an individual or working group with an agreed timeline. These are then followed up in subsequent meetings to ensure changes are implemented. If your unit doesn’t have a regular M&M meeting, I would encourage you to start one. Here are some useful resources to get you started: • Dealing with complications in IR – CVIR endovascular https://lnkd.in/dFYWbPc8 • CIRSE Standards of Practice on conducting M&M meetings https://lnkd.in/durVg7gA • Join us at #CIRSE2024 for ‘Patient Safety First’ session Sept. 1 at 10:00 https://lnkd.in/dmZTfpP3 #IRgoingClinical #interventionalradiology #IRtrainees #MedEd BSIR - British Society of Interventional Radiology European Trainee Forum Robert M.

#CIRSEtakeover with Dr. Joo-Young Chun We like to have fun at the workplace when we can. Birthdays and leaving-dos are great excuses to celebrate our colleagues and have fried food and cake for lunch! We also like to attend scientific meetings, especially ones hosted by the BSIR - British Society of Interventional Radiology and CIRSE. We are often seen in large droves seeking out the best places to eat and drink! And the best sessions to learn about the latest evidence and techniques in IR, of course 😉 BSIR - British Society of Interventional Radiology #CIRSE2024 #IRtrainees #interventionalradiology #IR #BSIRASM2024
