Exciting work from IR fellow Steve Kim on the use of basivertebral nerve ablation for vertebrogenic back pain w/ or w/o adjunctive medial branch nerve block and/or SI joint ablation!

Sig. improvement in VAS scores for both with no diff. btw groups at 3mo. 6 mo data coming soon!

Excellent presentation by chief IR fellow Ivy Chowdhury on the techniques for treating sacroiliac joint pain and the best targets for nerve ablation!

Prone position with steep caudal angle is key to visualize S1 superior enplate. Best to target L5-S3 for maximal relief

Important study by IR resident Maryam Boumezrag, MD about simultaneous vs staged biopsy/cryoablation of renal masses

More patients underwent ablation of benign lesions in simultaneous group. Need to counsel patients about biopsy first to avoid unnecessary ablation!

🚨FEATURED ABSTRACT🚨 Outstanding presentation by IR resident Neil K Jain about 1 year follow up of fluoro guided large bore gallstone extraction for inoperable calculous cholecystitis.

19 pts who were all stone-free at 1 year by imaging with no recurrence of cholecystitis!
