Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology Podcasts
The Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology has launched a new feature: monthly audio (or video) podcast discussions with authors regarding current journal articles.
Ziv J Haskal, M.D., FSIR, JVIR editor, and Robert K.W. Ryu, M.D., FSIR, JVIR's new media editor, produce the short, focused interviews that are intended to delve into study rationale and design and implications of results for current practice and future research. These broadcasts deliver current and controversial content, meeting briefing and communications.
JVIR podcasts are found here on the SIR Web site and on the JVIR Web site.

February
February's JVIR podcast comes from the ISET symposium on clinical interventional oncology. Aravind Arepally, M.D., FSIR, discusses innovation, device development and commercialization in the IR community.
January
This month's podcast provides a brief overview and discussion of five featured manuscripts.
"Impact on Renal Function of Percutaneous Thermal Ablation of Renal Masses in Patients With Pre-existing Chronic Kidney Disease," by Wehrenberg-Klee et. al. shows that renal function is unaffected by image-guided renal tumor ablation.
"Temporal Assessment of Splenic Function in Patients Who Have Undergone Percutaneous Image-Guided Splenic Artery Embolization in the Setting of Trauma" by Pirasteh et. al. demonstrates the absence of Howell-Jolly bodies in patients who have undergone splenic artery embolization, which confirms normal splenic function with long-term follow up.
Mandato et. al.'s "Safety of Endovascular Treatment of Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI): A Report of 257 Patients With Multiple Sclerosis" reports that outpatient interventions for CCSVI can be performed safely, with an acceptable complication profile.
"Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Biliary Drainage to Reduce Bilirubin for Administration of Chemotherapy" by Thornton et. al. reveals that only 30 percent of patients will normalize their bilirubin levels for chemotherapy after percutaneous intervention.
"Radioembolization vs. Standard Care of Hepatic Metastases: Comparative Retrospective Cohort Study of Survival Outcomes and Adverse Events in Salvage Patients" by Bester et. al. retrospectively compares outcomes in two cohorts of liver-dominant metastatic cancer patients: those who were treated with radioembolization and those who were not treated with radioembolization and received best supportive care.
