Demographic Trends in Female Interventional Radiology Trainees With the Advent of the Integrated Interventional Radiology Residency.

Objective: Examine changes in gender representation in the interventional radiology (IR) training pool since the advent of the integrated IR residency in 2015 to 2020.

Methods: Electronic Residency Application Service and ACGME Data Resource Book records from 2015 to 2020 were reviewed for integrated IR residency and vascular and interventional radiology (VIR) fellowship applicant data and active IR resident and VIR fellow data, respectively. The Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) 2018 registry data were reviewed for SIR membership data.

Successful endovascular stenting of a bleeding external iliac vein mycotic aneurysm in an oncologic patient: a case report.

Background: Mycotic aneurysms are rare vascular lesions, occurring in 0.6-2% of arterial aneurysms but with no reported venous cases. Venous aneurysms unrelated to an underlying infectious process have been previously described and are typically surgically repaired due to risk of thromboembolic events.

Infection Rates Following Hepatic Embolotherapy in Patients with Prior Biliary Interventions: Comparison of Single-Drug Moxifloxacin and Multidrug Antibiotic Prophylaxis.

Purpose: To investigate the incidence of infection in patients with prior biliary interventions undergoing hepatic embolotherapy following extended antibiotic prophylaxis using moxifloxacin monotherapy or a multidrug regimen.

Material And Methods: Under an Institutional Review Board-approved protocol, retrospective review of a quality assurance database identified all liver-directed therapies (LDTs) at a tertiary care center between 2010 and 2019 with biliary intervention prior to LDT Records were reviewed for infectious complications within 3 months of chemo- or radioembolization. Patients were categorized based on extended antibiotic prophylaxis regimen: oral moxifloxacin monotherapy or multidrug regimen of levofloxacin and metroniodazole plus preprocedural neomycin and erythromycin.

Retrospective Analysis of 77 Hemodialysis Patients Shows No Cases of Steal Syndrome from Graft Taper Reduction.

Purpose: To review the immediate flow response and incidence of steal syndrome after taper reduction of tapered dialysis grafts.

Material And Methods: This was a retrospective review of a quality assurance database of all hemodialysis access interventions performed between 2005 and 2017. It identified 77 patients who underwent a taper reduction procedure, involving angioplasty of the arterial limb of the graft and the arterial anastomosis for graft thrombosis/poor flow.
