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 #3: Paediatric interventions
It took years after the birth of IR in 1953 before the first percutaneous closure of a patent ductus arteriosus was described in 1981, or the first splenoportographies were performed in paediatric patients by Charles Dotter himself in 1971.
Not so far from our days, one of the first text dedicated exclusively to paediatric radiology was published in 2014 by Michael Temple and Francis E. Marshalleck, describing paediatric interventional procedures. Paediatric interventional radiology remains as an unknown area to many of us, but its knowledge is completely necessary and with infinite possibilities of which we must be aware and keep up to date, at least in the basic management of these patients.
Here is a selection of what has been published in CVIR endovascular, from generic reviews to clinical cases, tools that help us to keep up to date in the management of the youngest patients.

Quarterly Update #2: Urgent embolisation
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.

Quarterly Update #1: Infertility
According to a report published by the WHO last April, infertility affects one
in six adults worldwide. Infertility spares no one: all rich, poor and middle-income countries are affected. It occurs for both male and female causes: approximately one-third have female
etiology, another third have male etiology, and up to one-third have unknown etiology.
Up to 40% of female infertility is considered to be due to problems located in the fallopian tubes and up to 25% to tubal obstruction. Within the etiology of male infertility, varicocele is among
the most frequent treatable causes of male infertility and its resolution is beneficial in improving semen parameters and pregnancy rate when patients are properly selected. In addition,
interventional radiology also provides treatments for venous and arterial erectile dysfunction.
Interventional radiology advances relentlessly and so do our techniques, with infertility being no exception. Below we leave you related articles, published in CVIR Endovascular, as well as an
overview of the special section on women’s health, published in the CIRSE Insider.
