Articles Featuring Dr. Aaron Fritts

Arterial Dissection Treatment with Tacks

Arterial dissections can occur after lower extremity arterial angioplasty procedures. When they are both technically and clinically significant, they require treatment. Common methods of arterial dissection treatment include stents or Tacks, with stents being the more prevalent option.

Tacks vs Stents For Arterial Dissection Treatment

The Tack Endovascular System is a newer device that functions similarly to a stent, but with key differences that may make it more appropriate for treating arterial dissections in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) or the proximal popliteal artery.

Splenic Embolization Procedure Techniques, Tools & Efficiency

Splenic embolization procedure for trauma management requires knowledge of embolic agents and patient arterial vasculature, especially for grade-three severity cases. Learn more!

Splenic Artery Embolization Procedure Considerations

Splenic artery embolization can be used to treat non-emergent splenic trauma, such as hypersplenism and splenic artery aneurysms. Learn more about this treatment and post-procedure patient care.

Splenic Trauma Grading & Management: Embolization vs Surgery

Splenic trauma grading and management play a crucial role in determining the therapeutic approach. They result from blunt-force trauma and are graded under the AAST guidelines, ranging from minor spleen lacerations to complete revascularization. Learn more!

Nephrostomy tube placement in a case of mild hydronephrosis

Non-distended collecting system nephrostomy tube placement can often be challenging, requiring more advanced techniques. Interventional radiologist Dr. David Field discusses common indications, procedural steps using the Philips XperGuide CT software (and without it).

Percutaneous nephrostomy tube placement on X-ray

A percutaneous nephrostomy is a surgical procedure to drain urine from a kidney. Indications for nephrostomy tube placement include urinary diversion and access for further urologic interventions such as percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Learn more about indications, procedure prep, and complications.

Pedal access

Pedal access tools, techniques, and pro tips for beginners treating occluded lower extremity arteries with significant calcification.

Posterior tibial artery retrograde pedal access

Retrograde pedal access is becoming popular among both patients and interventionalists for the treatment of critical limb ischemia and peripheral vascular disease. Vascular surgeon Dr. Jim Melton and interventional radiologist Dr. Blake Parsons discuss IR and vascular surgery collaboration in their practice.

Curved needle used for vertebral augmentation

Currently there are numerous needle options available for cement delivery to vertebral compression fractures. Vertebral augmentation verterans Dr. Kumar Madassary and Dr. Venu Vadlamudi discuss the utility of curved balloons and needles for unipedicular approaches during vertebral augmentation procedures.

Physician talking with patient about vertebral augmentation recovery and pain relief

With every surgical procedure it’s important to discuss the risks and benefits of intervention. It is equally important to set expectations regarding recovery times. Initial consultation with patients should aim to individualize a treatment plan with the goal of setting realistic outcomes.

Kyphoplasty vs. vertebroplasty in the treatment of spinal compression

Vertebral augmentation can be accomplished through various techniques - Dr. Venu Vadlamundi and Dr. Kumar Madassery shed light on the utility of kyphoplasty vs. vertebroplasty when treating compression fractures of the spine.

Vertebral augmentation x-ray fluoroscopy

Proper perioperative management of patients with spinal compression fractures can lead to reduced hospital stays and increased health care savings. Evidence clearly demonstrates that increased bedrest is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing vertebral augmentation procedures.
