The Kinked WireEpisode 58: The potential for cryoneurolysis and interventional radiology in pain management"Over time, that nerve regenerates. And that regenerated nerve is new, and wasn't there for the surgery, or wasn't there for the trauma.

The Kinked WireEpisode 54: SIR 50th Anniversary: From piles of tubing to the Waltman loop | Guest: Dr. Arthur Waltman"The vascular surgeons had felt like, 'The patients are going to you before they come to us and ... why don't we just take you on?' And there was sort of an interest in trying to get me to join up with them, but I told them 'I'm not trained ..." So if I had wanted, I could have ended up in the department of surgery as a nonsurgeon surgeon."—Arthur Waltman, MD, FSIRIn this episode, part of the ongoing celebration of the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) 50th anniversary, host Warren Krackov, MD, FSIR, sp...2024-11-1225 min

The Kinked WireEpisode 48: Unlocking radiology's potential: The synergy between interventional and diagnostic radiologyMany people are sort of viewing it as an either/or—either you have an OBL or you're tied to a diagnostic department. And from my perspective, it's like ... it's actually synergistic to have both. —Radiology Chief James Brink, MD, FACRHost interventional radiologist Warren Krackov, MD, FSIR, speaks with James Brink, MD, FACR, chair of radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Brigham and Women's Hospital, about whether interventional radiology and diagnostic radiology are stronger together, what brought him to support IR services in his radiology practice, the Society of Interventional Radiology and American Colle...2024-02-1330 min

The Kinked WireEpisode 42: Pros and cons of practice settings in interventional radiologyI was literally at parade rest, in front of the chairman of the department, the colonel, and they want me to do mammo.

The Kinked WireEpisode 35: IRs in focus | Guest: Geogy Vatakencherry“I don't personally love going too far down the roots of any subspecialty, because then you lose the forest for the trees. And I think ultimately, the more holistic you can be, the better off the patient will be. So if you come in for one problem, you should be able to assess the other problems.” —Geogy Vatakencherry, MD, FSIRHost Warren Krackov, MD, FSIR, speaks with interventional radiologist Geogy Vatakencherry, MD, FSIR, about his clinical interests, the evolution of the specialty and clinical opportunities for IRs-in-training, and more.

The Kinked WireEpisode 32: How interventional radiologists can mitigate the contrast media shortage"We were no longer using iodinated contrast for nonemergent cases. We started using a lot of gadolinium, air, CO2, IVUS, Gastrografin, Cystografin—pretty much everything you could think of besides iodinated contrast. Because you need to save it for those emergent cases and the stroke. You know—stroke comes in, you can't just not have contrast to treat it." —Nikki Keefe, MDIn May 2022, Nikki Keefe, MD, Kush Desai, MD, FSIR, Maureen P. Kohi, MD, FSIR, and Gloria M.

This is the way that we want to operate, as well." —Keith Hume, SIR Executive DirectorIn a special year-end review, Warren Krackov, MD, FSIR, speaks with SIR Executive Director Keith Hume and SIR Direction of Publications Brian Haefs about the top stories impacting interv...2022-02-1529 min

The Kinked WireEpisode 24: IRs in focus | Guest: Elsie KohWhat I wanted to do is really focus in on physicians, because I feel like we're sometimes not the ones in the forefront in making decisions in how healthcare is going ... and it's not our fault. It's because we kind of weren't taught leadership skills. —Elsie Koh, MDWarren Krackov, MD, FSIR, speaks with interventional radiologist Elsie Koh, MD, about her physician leadership training company, her experience as chief medical officer (CMO) of a nationwide healthcare provider, and about the new SIR Women in Interventional Radiology (WIR) Section's Dream Big Book Club Program. 2021-10-0117 min

The Kinked WireEpisode 23: Launching and running an office-based lab | Guest: Bret WiechmannWhile I do understand that there may be this idea out there, that the OBL is some magical place, the truth is that I think the ideal scenario is what I have—which is practicing on both sides of the street, so to speak. Because they each pose their own challenges and they each have their own benefits. —Bret Wiechmann, MD, FSIRWarren Krackov, MD, FSIR, speaks with interventional radiologist Bret Wiechmann, MD, FSIR, about how he launched his office-based laboratory (OBL), how other IRs might do the same, and the prospects for trainees to ente...2021-09-0322 min

The Kinked WireEpisode 22: IRs in focus | Guest: Vishal KumarDialysis, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, oncology, …these affect patients of all races.

The Kinked WireEpisode 21: IRs in focus | Guest: Dan SzeWhen we show each other these extreme cases, there's a lot of cheering and high-fiving.

The Kinked WireEpisode 20: Interventional radiology and the potential of GAE to treat osteoarthritis of the knee | Guest: Sandeep BaglaI think we’re really at the tip of the iceberg. I think this is very early—in my mid stage of the career, I will probably not be practicing as this evolves into something that’s the full standard of care in multiple joints. But outside of BPH, this is probably the biggest and probably most impactful change I think we’ll see in the embolization space in the next 10 years.—Sandeep Bagla, MDWarren Krackov, MD, FSIR, speaks with interventional radiologist Sandeep Bagla, MD, about the prospects for genicular artery embolization to help patients w...2021-05-0419 min

The Kinked WireEpisode 19: Demystifying interventional radiology reimbursement | Guest: Kathy KrolThe CPT code may have certain required elements, and if you don’t put all of those in the report, you don’t get credit for doing the procedure. Or if the coders go ahead and code it, you could get audited later. So if someone goes to jail for fraudulent coding, you’ll be on the line as well as the coder, as the interventional radiologist—because you are ultimately responsible for what you bill.—Katharine L. Krol, MD, FSIRWarren Krackov, MD, FSIR, speaks with interventional radiologist Katharine L. Krol, MD, FSIR, about how interv...2021-03-2223 min

The Kinked WireEpisode 18: IRs in focus | Guest: Derek WestThe idea that we start a little earlier in getting our students acclimated to interventional radiology is going to be so important. And it already has made a difference—I think now, students have a much clearer sense of what it is, at a much earlier stage, than maybe I did. I think it makes a big difference in terms of getting more involvement in our profession.—Derek L. West, MD, MSWarren Krackov, MD, FSIR, speaks with interventional radiologist Derek L. West, MD, MS, about the importance of addressing health care disparities, educating medical stude...2021-02-2322 min

The Kinked WireEpisode 17: The role of interventional radiology in stroke care | Guest: Eric WangI guess my take-home point is that by no means is staffing for a stroke program a small undertaking, so it really is important to have the support from the hospital as well as other medical specialties when developing the interventional stroke program ... which we’re very fortunate we have. —Eric A. Wang, MD, FSIRWarren Krackov, MD, FSIR, speaks with interventional radiologist Eric A.

The Kinked WireEpisode 16: 2020 year in reviewAt the very beginning of the pandemic, there was a big outpouring of support through social media outlets and other avenues online between training programs throughout the country.

The Kinked WireEpisode 13: Implicit bias and health care disparities | Guest: P.J. RochonYou see that it's appalling. What can you do, and what can we do as privileged human beings, to denounce this? To say that it's wrong? To not stand for it? To say, "You know what? That's not right and this is what I'm going to do about it."—Paul J. "P.J." Rochon, MD, FSIRWarren Krackov, MD, FSIR, speaks with interventional radiologist Paul J. "P.J."

The Kinked WireEpisode 11: IRs in focus | Guest: Raj PyneI wanted to practice clinically oriented IR.
