Episode #265
In this crossover episode between BackTable VI and BackTable Innovation, Dr. Chris Beck interviews Dr. Riad Salem (Chief of Interventional Radiology at Northwestern University) and Peter Pattison (President of Interventional Oncology at Boston Scientific) about how TheraSpheres for Y90 radioembolization became a mainstay in the IR toolkit for HCC and where the technology is heading next.
Episode #64
Transplant Surgeon Dr. Jennifer Berumen and Interventional Radiologist Dr. Isabel Newton discuss the treatment of HCC and the importance of multi-specialty collaboration in bridging these patients to successful liver transplantation. Special discussion was given around this HCC consortium article in Annals of Surgery: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30870180/

Moving Y90 from the hospital to the office-based lab (OBL) can be an extensive undertaking. As interventional radiologist Dr. Jayson Brower explains, there are several benefits for both providers and patients, such as control of the procedure environment, improved convenience, and increased satisfaction for patients and providers.
A pressure directed device may help increase control of Y90 radioembolization delivery to the tumor in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Having performed around 200 pressure directed procedures, Dr. Nutting describes his use of Surefire’s guide catheter and microcatheters when working with the Surefire Infusion System.
When treating HCC with Y90 radioembolization, a hypovascular tumor with low visibility on angiogram can indicate that a pressure directed device may help to deliver more of the intended dose to the tumor. Studies have shown that pressure directed devices increase tumor uptake and decrease non-target embolization.
The goal of Y90 radioembolization is to deliver the full dose of therapeutic to the tumor. Pressure directed therapy intermittently stops arterial flow and pushes therapeutic into the tumor using pressure that builds up during infusion, overcoming some of the technical limitations of end-hole catheters.
