Presenting the “Meet the Experts” session at VIVA 2019. We discussed the radial to peripheral interventions. Had a great discussion with the attendees and generated a lot of interest.

Crossing an ostial common iliac artery occlusion using radial approach. Used a stiff angled glide wire and navicross to cross the occlusion. Stented from groin and used the radial access to protect the other side by a metacross balloon #RadialFirst #irad #vascupedia #pad #terumo

Entire case done from an occluded PT access. Accessed on ultrasound with slender 6fr sheath and treated SFA. Then came around into anterior tibial, crossed the pedal loop into PT and POBA. Patient had excellent infrapop flow after. #cli #pedalfirst #clifighters #pedalloop

Left carotid artery stenting using right radial access. Used a Terumo R2P sheath and Nav6 filter and Abott stents. It is my third straight case done radially and it is becoming my default approach. #RadialFirst #R2P Jay Mathews MD, MS, FACC, FSCAI David Homan, MD Deepak Thekkoott #am-writing MD nayan agarwal

Used the #Penumbra device first time for acute DVT. It did a great job. Almost instantaneous relief for the patient. Also the patient had previous wall stents and it cleaned it pretty well. #dvt #clot Penumbra Vascular

Patient presented with cold foot. Found to have all infrapopliteal vessels occluded. used CAT 6 with balloon angioplasty. Excellent 3 vessel run off restored with symptom relief. #CLIFighters David Homan, MD Mohammad (Mac) Ansari, MD Jay Mathews MD, MS, FACC, FSCAI Sam Politz @Mustapja Fadi Saab

Patient with a large pseudoaneurysm 7cm origin from common femoral. Had aortic-bifem that attaches to SFA. Neck was 7 mm. Used a balloon to occlude the neck and inject thrombin from wire port of balloon. #IRad JVIR #cardiotwitter #CLIFighters Society of Interventional Radiology David Homan, MD

Access 101. Such a simple step. Always watch the micro wire track up. Don’t skip this step out of laziness or being too confident. Own the groin to minimize femoral complication. #safefemoral #interventionalfellow #Interventionalcardiology

Pt with CLI . Used a occluded PT access and retrogradely revascularize it. Poor flow distal the stick so performed a antegrade PT stick just above after to revascularize pedal loop and distal AT. Excellent Doppler after. #CLIfighters Fadi Saab Jim Melton Jay Mathews MD, MS, FACC, FSCAI #PAD
