  1. Application of Interventional Radiology Paul Byra, MIV USC-SOM

  2. Angioplasty w/ vascular stenting Angiography Embolization CTA Cryotherapy Endovenous ablation of varicosities MRA MR guided biopsies Radiofrequency ablations of tumors Thrombolysis Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) Ultrasound guided biopsies Uterine fibroid embolization Vascular access procedures Vertebroplasty Biliary drainage and stenting Fallopian tube catherization Gastrostomy tube insertion Urinary tract obstruction Procedures Performed And many more…

  3. Case 1 • 60 y.o male w/ hx sig. for HTN, NIDDM, and 80 pack year smoking hx who presents with signs of claudication • Bilateral femoral, right popliteal, dorsalis pedis, and posterior tibial pulses present • No palpable popliteal, dorsalis pedis, posterior tibial pulses present on the left

  4. Catheter Angiography • Image blood vessels for disease, narrowing, occlusion, or aneurysms • Catheter is threaded through the vascular system to area of interest • Contrast is injected and visualized radiographically

  5. Catheter Angiography Left common iliac stenosis Not pictured superficial femoral and proximal popliteal artery occlusion

  6. Catheter Angiography Left iliac angioplasty and stent placement

  7. Catheter Angiography Post stent placement

  8. Case 2 • 30 y/o female with 16 week sized uterus • Negative UPT • Ultrasound significant for uterine fibroids • MRI of uterus  • White arrows indicate the fibroids

  9. Uterine Fibroid Emoblization • Arteriogram is performed, identifying fibroid vessels • Embolization is performed on one side until near stasis is achieved, then the other side is embolized • Normal myometrial vessles are spared

  10. Uterine Fibroid Emoblization • 3 months S/P embolization • Uterine volume decreased by 66%

  11. Case 3 • 50 y/o male with hx of Chronic Hepatitis and portal hypertension causing severe variceal bleeding • Patient is on beta-blocker and has failed sclerotherapy

  12. TIPS • A catheter is placed in the right jugular vein • The catheter is threaded through the superior and inferior vena cava to the hepatic vein • Wall of the hepatic vein is punctured and the needle is directed across an approximate 2 inch gap to the portal vein. • Successful passage into the portal vein is determined by the pattern of dye injected through the catheter

  13. TIPS • A guide wire is threaded through the needle to maintain the passage between the hepatic and portal veins.

  14. TIPS • A balloon may be used across the passage to widen the holes in the vessel walls and the passage through the liver tissue

  15. TIPS • Two stents are then positioned along the passage, overlapping in the liver tissue and extending into both veins. • The stents are opened to their maximum width with balloon dilation • Blood flow from the portal vein across the stents to the hepatic vein and on to the vena cava is confirmed with dye injection.

  16. Case 4 • 72 y.o female with history significant for HTN, hyperlipidemia, and DM develops in the early afternoon a sudden, severe headache that is followed by left sided weakness of the arm and leg • Patient arrives to the ER 3 hours post-onset of symptoms • CT indicates nonhemorrhagic stroke • Patient’s BP 150/90, plt count >100k, normal bld glc; w/o history of intracranial hem., recent stroke or head trauma, recent MI, anticoagulation therapy, major surgery w/in past 14 days, or seizure during stroke • Basically no contraindications to tPA therapy but…it has been over 3 hours…hmmm…

  17. Thrombolysis • When therapy cannot be initiated within three hours or when treatment with tPA during the first three hours is not sufficient to dissolve the blood clot, interventional neuroradiologists can provide intra-arterial thrombolysis treatment • Using x-ray guidance, an IR will insert a catheter through the femoral artery to the artery where the clot is present and will place the thrombolytic drug directly on the clot or break up the clot mechanically • When given locally this way, the tPA can be administered up to six hours after the onset of stroke symptoms

  18. Thrombolysis • CTA shows cutoff of right middle cerebral artery CT perfusion images show decreased cerebral blood volume and cerebral blood flow with mean transit time representing ischemia.

  19. Thrombolysis • Initial angiogram shows the middle cerebral artery cutoff • Road map angiogram shows the microcatheter crossing the clot before administration of tPA and microwire manipulation

  20. Thrombolysis • At admission • Post thrombolysis angiogram
