Quarterly update

with Social Media Editor Sara Lojo

Dr. Sara Lojo is passionate about interventional radiology and has been involved in the editorial board of many publications since her training. She considers editorialism to be a fundamental tool for training, encouraging its development and bringing it closer to the new generations of IR professionals.

 

In this Quarterly Update, she will highlight key issues in IR and accompanying CVIR Endovascular articles on the topic.

 


Quarterly Update #2: Urgent embolisation

Published on January 2024

Embolisation is a well-established interventional radiology technique used to treat patients with massive traumatic or iatrogenic haemorrhage, to control bleeding after childbirth and as a pre-surgical treatment to reduce blood loss.


Interventional radiology has much to offer and plays a key role in the management of urgent and emergent bleeding. Not all embolisable territories are treated in the same way, or with the same materials, or take the same risks. For us, it is essential to not only know the anatomy, but also the techniques and the different materials available when deciding when, how, and where to perform embolisation in a haemorrhage.


It is essential to keep up to date on techniques, materials, and approaches and CVIR Endovascular has a wide range of articles on traumatic embolisation, as well as on the use of different materials in emergency situations or even extreme vascular approaches.
