Planning for HCC Radiation Segmentectomy: Mapping, Margins & Dosage

Radiation segmentectomy is used to manage primary hepatocellular carcinoma and metastatic liver tumors, particularly in cases where surgical resection is not feasible due to tumor location or underlying liver dysfunction. Interventional radiologists Dr. Tyler Sandow and Dr. Juan Jimenez explain how they plan for a radiation segmentectomy case.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Practice: Optimizing Workflows & Treatment Decisions

Dr. Juan Gimenez and Dr. Tyler Sandow explain how they built their hepatocellular carcinoma practice, the finer points of their patient workflows, and how they make treatment decisions favoring a high volume of Y90 radioembolization.

Port Removal Surgery: Ins and Outs

Port removal surgery is a common procedure amongst interventional radiologists. In order to minimize risk of infection and ensure a speedy recovery, it is important to understand how to successfully perform this routine procedure as a budding IR.

Port Removal Surgery: Strategies for Difficult Cases & Infected Ports

Port removal surgeries are often a time for celebration for patients as well as providers. However, ports can sometimes become infected or encased in granulation tissue.
