Wysdom Radio™Y-90 Liver Toxicity: Understanding and Preventing REILDY-90 Liver Toxicity: Understanding and Preventing REILD
This episode investigates the specific, aggressive liver injury that can follow Y-90 Radioembolization—Radioembolization-Induced Liver Disease (REILD)—defining it not as simple radiation necrosis, but as Hepatic Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome (SOS), essentially Veno-Occlusive Disease (VOD).
The Clinical Picture: We identify the hallmark presentation appearing 4-8 weeks post-procedure: significant jaundice (Bilirubin >3) and ascites in the absence of tumor progression.
The "Combined Insult" Theory: The discussion highlights that this injury is often synergistic, occurring when the liver is "primed" by prior systemic chemotherapy, making the tissue far more vuln...

Wysdom Radio™Provocative Mesenteric Angiography: Safety and Efficacy in Occult GI BleedingProvocative Mesenteric Angiography: Safety and Efficacy in Occult GI Bleeding
This episode tackles one of the most frustrating clinical challenges in Interventional Radiology: the patient with a recurrent occult GI bleed who has failed endoscopy and standard imaging. We analyze the largest retrospective cohort study to date (22 years of data) on TPA-based Provocative Mesenteric Angiography (PMA) to determine when to use this aggressive diagnostic maneuver.
The Safety Surprise: Despite intentionally provoking bleeding with TPA and Nitroglycerin, the study revealed zero major bleeding adverse events, thanks to "first-pass hepatic metabolism" clearing the drugs before they hit t...

Wysdom Radio™Evidence for Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) in PADEvidence for IVUS in PAD
This episode uncovers the compelling evidence behind Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS), a technology that is revolutionizing the treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) by fixing the fundamental flaw of traditional angiography: its "2D shadow" limitation.
The Problem with Angiography: Standard X-ray imaging forces doctors to guess the size of 3D arteries from 2D pictures, leading to poor device sizing and missed complications like dissections.
The IVUS Advantage: IVUS provides a 360-degree blueprint from inside the artery, allowing for precise sizing and detection of calcified plaque that angiography misses.

Wysdom Radio™The Must Knows of IR: Part 1 (For first timers in IR)IR Basics: Needles, Wires, Catheters, and Sheaths
This episode provides a rapid-fire masterclass on the four foundational tools of Interventional Radiology and how to navigate the complex sizing systems that dictate their use.
The Sizing Headache: We demystify the three conflicting measurement systems—Gauge, French, and Inches—that every interventionalist must juggle simultaneously.
Needles (The Gauge Paradox): We explain why lower numbers mean bigger needles (e.g., an 18-gauge is larger than a 21-gauge) and how to use the "Fit Rule" to match needles to wires (e.g., a 0.035" wire needs at least an 1...

This episode breaks down the critical differences between the two main endovascular strategies for managing variceal bleeding in patients with portal hypertension:
TIPS (Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt): A procedure that acts as an internal bypass to lower the overall portal pressure.
New Guidance: Covered stents are now standard, and smaller 8mm stents are preferred to minimize the risk of Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE).
Trade-Off: It reduces the risk of bleeding but increases the risk of HE (brain fog/confusion).
