BackTable Vascular and Interventional’s Post

We just unlocked our latest course on Prostate Artery Embolizations on BackTable+! It's free and open access, supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Guerbet. Through a series of BackTable "pickups" from interviews and live case presentations, participants will gain insights into various aspects of PAE, including procedural techniques, patient management, and best practices. Docs will enhance their understanding of PAE principles, refine their procedural skills, and gain confidence in delivering high-quality care to patients with BPH.

Dr. Fritz Angle, an interventional radiologist from University of Virginia, provides periprocedural guidance on adrenal vein sampling. • Interventional radiologists should work closely with endocrinologists and have access to surgeon colleagues should the need for an adrenalectomy arise. • Compare aldosterone to cortisol ratios from the right and left adrenal glands to identify lateralization. • Because potassium-sparing diuretics are suspended prior to the procedure, obtain a stat potassium level to adjust for hypokalemia to ensure patient safety. • More tips in the full article: https://ow.ly/c89b50SzgLw Stream the episode here: https://lnkd.in/eUNYUebW #VI328 #AdrenalVeinSampling #InterventionalRadiology #IR #MinimallyInvasive #Hyperaldosteronism
