Understanding Liquid Embolization for Acute Hemorrhage
What changes about your embolization plan when a bleeding patient is coagulopathic, vasospastic, and running out of time? On this episode of the BackTable 2026 Liquid Embolics Creator Weekend, Dr. Gary Siskin (Albany Med) and Dr. Oleksandra Kutsenko (Red Rock Radiology) join Dr. Tyler Sandow to break down practical strategies for liquid embolization in acute hemorrhage, illustrated with real-world case examples from pelvic trauma to lower GI bleeding. They discuss how trauma triage, rapid decision-making, and a “liquid-first” mindset can make all the difference when the usual clotting mechanisms are unreliable.
