#Port revision on obese patient. There is so much movement of the soft tissues, a long track is going to pull all over the place. Enter low, lateral, and keep the port body high near the clavicle. #IRad

Did a UNI-PEDICULAR #kyphoplasty w/ OmniCurve. Patient had a right pedicle fracture. It was really good at cutting across to the other side!! #IRad

I got an IR Boards question in real life! TWO IVC = TWO FILTERS Found during #DVT intervention and mechanical #thrombectomy. Incidence is ~1%, due to persistent left supracardinal vein. #IRad

Surprise! Duplicated SFV! I get nervous using #ClotTriever in duplicated system because the vessels are smaller, but with the basket half-deployed, it still works well. #IRad

This was the most difficult TIPS I’ve even done! Extrahepatic portal veins, shrunken liver with bad angle, did perc portal access with snare and body floss, even broke a wire… but it’s done!! #IRad #TIPS

Look at this big booger I pulled out of the IVC!! Is this even considered a thrombus anymore? #IRad Removed with ClotTriever XL

So much structural protein in this #DVT, it’s insane!! Removed with #ClotTriever after angioplasty with 8mm balloon. Super difficult to recanalize… you can see why! #IRad

Acute, occlusive #DVT cleaned out with #ClotTriever. There was a compression defect at the iliac origin. Brought her back a few days later with #IVUS, confirmed the compression, and stented with #Abre. It felt weird to put a 12mm in the iliac, but she was petite! #IRAD

Central occlusion on a fistula arm, with horrible breast swelling from collaterals. Sharp recan success with #Gunsight technique. A very excellent skill to have in your back pocket!! #IRad

Double the vessel, double the clot! Prone, Popliteal access, #ClotTriever. Wired up each side sequentially, and pulled out those dark, sticky clots. #DVT #IRad

Used #RevCore to clean out a troublesome central occluded stent. Put up some discs as embolic protection. These stents were occluded for years, the results speak for themselves. #IRad
