Vascular & IR # 684Oct 16, 2026Understanding Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization Techniques
Which patients with bleeding hemorrhoids benefit from artery embolization, and who should go to surgery instead? On this episode of the BackTable Podcast, Dr. Ally Baheti welcomes Dr. Kristen Rumer and Dr. Scott Thompson of Mayo Clinic to break down patient selection, technique, and follow-up for hemorrhoid artery embolization (HAE) at a major academic center. They explain why bleeding-predominant, Goligher grade II and III internal hemorrhoids are the best candidates, and how the technique has evolved from its origins in France to routine practice in the US.

Liquid Embolic Techniques & Strategies for GI Bleeds
What makes you reach for a liquid embolic in a gastrointestinal bleed instead of coils? On this episode of the BackTable 2026 Liquid Embolics Creator Weekend™, Dr. Gary Siskin and Dr. Alexander Misono join host Dr. Ally Baheti to examine seven bleeding cases where a liquid agent decided the plan, from a lost distal position in the gastroduodenal artery to a patient exsanguinating from a duodenal ulcer at four in the morning. They work through case selection, access in hostile postsurgical anatomy, agent preparation, how much to inject, and the complications that follow when the judgment is wrong.

Managing Acute Hemorrhage with Liquid Embolics
How do you take control of an acute arterial bleed when the vessel arises straight off the aorta, the INR is 6.7, and coils depend on a clotting cascade the patient does not have? In this episode of the BackTable 2026 Liquid Embolics Creator Weekend™, Dr. Alexander Misono (Hoag Hospital, Newport Beach) and Dr. Oleksandra Kutsenko (Red Rock Radiology) join Dr. Kavi Krishnasamy to walk through real-world acute hemorrhage cases, from renal pseudoaneurysm to retroperitoneal and GI bleeds, where liquid embolization made the difference. The panel shares practical strategies for embolic selection, rapid triage, and owning the patient and outcome in high-stakes settings.

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.

Navigating Liquid Embolization Techniques: Insights & Practices
Could replacing bulky coil packs with specialized liquid embolic agents be the key to faster, more cost-effective peripheral embolizations? In this kickoff episode of the BackTable 2026 Liquid Embolics Creator Weekend™, Dr. Kavi Krishnasamy (University of Alabama at Birmingham) and Dr. Gary Siskin (Albany Med) join Dr. Tyler Sandow to break down the foundational principles, deployment approaches, and expanding clinical applications of liquid embolics in non-neurological interventions. They discuss the transition toward a "liquid-first" procedural mindset, the technical nuances of adhesive and cohesive agents, and how targeted liquid cast creation might optimize procedure times and device expenditure compared to traditional coiling.
