What role does thyroid artery embolization play in contemporary thyroid cancer care? Dr. Juan Camacho, an interventional radiologist from Sarasota, Florida, joins host Dr. Sabeen Dhand to discuss how this emerging technique is reshaping the management of thyroid malignancies. --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Camacho shares his experiences establishing a multidisciplinary team at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center dedicated to the management of thyroid malignancies, highlighting the critical role of collaboration in the successful implementation of this emerging treatment. He details key procedural techniques, emphasizing the importance of recognizing anatomic variations that can influence technical success. He also examines how arterial supply and lesion location inform procedural planning and decision-making, and outlines his technical approach to thyroid artery embolization, including the use of a radial artery access, catheter selection strategies, and the application of cone-beam CT for procedural optimization. Finally, he reviews his pre- and post-procedural management strategies, including the role of beta blockers in optimizing patient outcomes. The discussion concludes with illustrative case studies demonstrating substantial reductions in thyroid volume and symptomatic relief, notably achieved without post-procedural hypothyroidism. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction03:31 - Pioneering Thyroid Ablation at Sloan Kettering06:53 - The Need for Thyroid Artery Embolization25:08 - Pre-Procedural Planning32:41 - Embolization Technique and Procedure44:48 - Choosing the Right Catheter for the Job45:43 - Ensuring Patient Comfort and Safety47:09 - High-Stakes Imaging and Safety Protocols47:55 - Innovative Techniques and Case Studies51:02 - Post-Procedure Management and Follow-Up56:30 - Engaging with Endocrinology and Surgeons01:00:00 - Case Studies and Practical Applications

A patient presents to the ER with hemoptysis. When is bronchial artery embolization (BAE) the right call, and what can you do to tip the odds of procedural success in your favor? In this episode of the BackTable Podcast, interventional radiologist Dr. Alexander Lam of UCSF shares his approach to bronchial artery embolization with host Dr. Ally Baheti.---This podcast is supported by:RADPAD® Radiation Protectionhttps://www.radpad.com/---SYNPOSISThe conversation covers why patients are referred for this procedure, the typical causes of bronchial artery hypertrophy, and Dr. Lam's preferred techniques for embolization, including the use of glue over traditional particles.

Commentary by Dr. Tong Liu.
Dr Sharonne Hayes, Professor of cardiovascular medicine and founding director of Mayo Clinic women's heart clinic, and Dr. Marysia Tweet, Associate Professor of cardiovascular medicine, and co-leader of the Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Registry and leader in women's heart health join the show for this amazing November chapter of Always on EM. They are world experts on Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection authoring over 60 peer reviewed articles on the topic and in this chapter we explore with them the pitfalls and pearls related to making this diagnosis in the ED. SCAD is an important cause of myocardial infarction especially in patients who would not otherwise seem to be at risk for heart attacks for example active young women without comorbidities, and its imperitive that we as emergency physicians are current on this diagnosis.

Commentary by Dr. Jian'an Wang.
This may be one of those episodes that could be considered controversial and I hope it does prompt questions. Dr. ChristopherKwon is a highly experienced cardiac surgeon whose practice in Lake Havasu, Arizona has brought him face-to-face with a growing number of patients living with symptomatic Myocardial Bridges.What made this conversation so compelling is Dr. Kwon's dual approach—he doesn't just perform the standard unroofing procedure. He also chooses to bypass the artery in the same operation, giving his patients the greatest chance for long-term relief, in his expert opinion. As he says, it's a “belts and suspenders” approach.We talk about everything related to the bridge unroofing procedure.The fear patients have around sternotomy,The diagnostic process including provocative testing,The reality of competitive flow in grafts,The insurance coding challenges that can delay care,And, perhaps most importantly, how critical it is to advocate for yourself.Whether you're a patient, a caregiver, or a provider trying to better understand this often-dismissed condition, I believe this episode can give you clarity, confidence, and hope.???? In This Episode, We Cover:Dr. Kwon's path from aspiring engineer to heart surgeonWhy sternotomy isn't as scary as it soundsHis unique method: unroofing + bypass for added protectionWhen provocative testing is useful—but not always requiredWhat to know about LIMA grafts and long-term outcomesWhy some cardiologists still dismiss this condition—and what he tells themThe importance of second opinions and listening to your gutHow insurance coding can make or break your surgery approvalPlus...

UCSF stroke neurologist Dr. Anirudh Sreekrishnan and UCSF vascular neurosurgeon Dr. Luis Savastano describe Moyamoya disease, a rare condition where arteries at the base of the brain become narrowed or blocked, reducing blood flow. The name “moyamoya” means “puff of smoke” in Japanese, describing the tiny vessels that form to compensate. These fragile vessels can cause strokes or bleeding. Treatment often involves surgical procedures, such as direct or indirect revascularization, to restore blood flow and reduce stroke risk.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, we continue our deep dive into systemic enzymes, building on the foundation laid in episodes #530 & 566. This time, the focus is on practical protocols that combine Fibrenza with key companions and targeted nutrient support for cardiovascular health, immune resilience, and recovery. You'll learn how systemic enzymes modulate the immune system for conditions like autoimmune disease and fibromyalgia, why pairing them with other supportive supplements can retrain immune balance and strengthen the gut lining at the root. Jared also shares cardiovascular strategies post-COVID — using Fibrenza with supplements that support nitric oxide, vessel flexibility, and inflammation balance. Finally, the discussion turns to exercise recovery, with protocols designed to accelerate healing, reduce soreness, and protect tendons and ligaments. This episode is about root cause solutions — supporting balance, reducing inflammatory debris, and nourishing the body so it can do what it was designed to do: heal and thrive.Products:Fibrenza Systemic EnzymeKyolic Moducare Daily Immune SupportVital 5 Precision Probiotic Vital SporesNatural Factors L-Glutamine PowderGet Well Stay WellN.O.

Blood Work Decoded: Understanding the "Why" Behind Heart Disease and PAD Saturday LIVE on "The Heart of Innovation," Global PAD Association CEO Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips welcome vascular surgeon Dr. Lily Johnston from Scripps La Jolla in California to discuss the root causes of peripheral artery disease and heart conditions. Dr. Johnston brings her extensive background (Princeton, Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins) to explore how advanced blood work can reveal underlying issues that traditional approaches might miss. She'll decode: • What your lipid panel actually means for your vascular health • Key blood cell markers everyone should understand • Why anemia frequently accompanies cardiovascular conditions • Which specialized tests to discuss with your doctor As founder of the Vascular Health Institute, Dr. Johnston takes a metabolic approach to vascular disease, focusing on prevention and addressing underlying causes rather than just managing symptoms.
