European Trainee Forum

✨Look back at CIRSE 2024!✨ This year’s record-breaking numbers—spanning sessions, faculty, abstract submissions, and the highest attendance of physicians—set a high bar. It is clear that the CIRSE Annual Congress is the must-attend event each September, bringing together global experts dedicated to minimally invasive, image-guided procedures. To watch the lectures on demand, visit cirse2024.cirse.org Mark your calendars for CIRSE 2025 in Barcelona from September 13–17! #CIRSE2024 #interventionalradiology #IRad #minimallyinvasive

#ETFtakeover with Stavros Charalambous Type 2 endoleak (T2EL) after #EVAR is the most common type of endoleak, which is also the most controversial in its management. Which patients with T2EL need re-intervention? 🤔 📚 Learn from our recent publications how to distinguish high- from low- risk type 2 endoleak, using • Radiomics • Dual Energy CT • Dynamic CT angiography • Perfusion DSA Radiomics and machine learning to predict aggressive type 2 endoleaks after endovascular aneurysm repair: a proof of concept.

#ETFtakeover with Stavros Charalambous Case report: ● 60y ♀ ● Pulmonary #AVM (#PAVM) ● Asymptomatic, accidental finding Can we #embolize PAVMs? Fig. 1: Baseline CTPA.; A PAVM is illustrated. Fig.2a: Pulmonary artery angiography; the location of pulmonary #AVM is shown. Fig.2b: Selective angiogram from the artery supplying the #PAVM portrays this lesion. Fig.2c: Selective catheterize the feeding artery as close to the arteriovenous connection as possible with a micro-catheter. Fig.2d: Successful #embolization with #micro-coils. ✍️ My six tips for the procedure: 1) Ensure a good CTPA for preoperative planning. 2) Use a supportive sheath to the main pulmonary artery. 3) Use a coaxial micro-catheter system. 4) The optimal site of embolization is generally considered to be the feeding artery as close to the arteriovenous connection as possible, preferably within 1 cm. 5) When using coils to embolize, start with one 20% (or 2 mm) larger than the diameter of the vessel, followed by a smaller one. 6) Be calm and patient.

#ETFtakeover with Stavros Charalambous Case report: ● 75y ♂ ● Benign prostate hyperplasia, urinary catheter dependent (2 months) ● Admission due to massive hematuria (prostatic hematuria) 👉 Let’s solve the problem! Let’s do a prostatic artery embolization! #PAE Fig. 1: Can you identify the right and left prostatic artery?

Dear friends, I am Stavros Charalambous, an interventional radiologist at the NGH-State Health Services Organization of Cyprus. 🇨🇾 I am excited to take on this week’s #ETFtakeover. Stay tuned for more updates!
