Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee are joined again by NAU Urology Specialists' very own Interventional Radiologist, Dr. Preston Smith! In this episode that should be called "Prostate artery embolization versus varicocele artery embolization," you'll learn what both are and how artery embolization treats them. Prostate artery embolization works sort of like plugging up a dam so blood flow is lessened or minimized to the prostate. This helps shrink the prostate to minimize BPH symptoms or can shrink the prostate to get it ready for a procedure when the prostate needs to be smaller. Varicocele artery embolization is also discussed. Varicoceles can commonly cause testicular pain and contribute to infertility so minimizing them can certainly help reduce the discomfort and pain. Tune into listen to all of the interesting ways this minimally invasive procedure can help so many different issues. Dr. Mistry is a board-certified urologist and has been treating patients in the Austin and Greater Williamson County area since he started his private practice, NAU Urology Specialists, in 2007. Donna Lee has worked with Dr. Mistry since 2017 and is now NAU Urology Specialists' Director of Business Development. She's also a professional standup comedian. We enjoy hearing from you!

In the latest episode of "The Heart of Innovation," hosts Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips delve into the challenging journey of Dee and her 90-year-old mother, who is facing the complex issue of non-healing wounds caused by Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), restricted blood flow in mainly the leg arteries that can prevent critical nutrients, including oxygen, from reaching muscles, tissue, and nerves clear to the foot - nutrients that are essential for wound healing. Dee's mother has been struggling with a non-healing wound on her toe since 2019, which has led to a series of complications. From oxygen therapy to the diagnosis of osteomyelitis (bone infection), they have explored various treatments, but wounds persist. Now, Dee is determined to find the best specialist and facility to give her mother the greatest chance of success and minimize complications, which may include clearing blockages in her Mom's arteries below-the-knee and below-the-ankle into the pedal-plantar artery loop in the foot. In this episode, the hosts bring together a panel of experts in the field of PAD treatment, including Dr. Christopher Lee Stout, a Vascular Surgeon from Ozark Vascular in Arkansas, and Dr. Dan Simon, an Interventional Radiologist from Edison Radiology Group in New Jersey. Alongside show co-host Dr. John Phillips, an Interventional Cardiologist, they provide valuable insights and answer Dee's pressing questions. They focus specifically on the advanced stage of PAD, known as Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI), characterized by leg pain, leg cramps at night, and non-healing wounds on the foot or toe. The panel of physicians aims to address Dee's concerns and guide her in making informed decisions to save her mother's limb and improve her quality of life. They discuss the value of a multidisciplinary approach to treating CLI. They also drive home the importance of ensuring whomever she chooses has experience with treating an elderly patient with series comorbidities that include chronic heart failure (CHF) and advanced stage kidney disease, Plus, they educate Dee on the advance skillset and tools required to reduce radiation and contrast die during the procedure which could result in complete kidney failure.

Description: Douglas is on deck for open heart surgery and decided to join the show just minutes before air time to inspire others through sharing his courageous journey. He heard that Dr. Mehrzad Zarghouni, Interventional Radiologist with Houston Vein & Vascular, was going to be on the show as guest co-host since Dr. Phillips was on call and taking care of an urgent heart patient at Ohio Health. So, he popped on just before our producer Aikman did the final countdown. Why? Douglas wanted to thank Dr. Z, who was named U.S. Vascular Doctor of the Year 2022 by advocacy nonprofit The Way To My Heart, for saving his life. Douglas had shown up to see Dr. Z a few months ago for a procedure to unblock arteries in his legs because of a disease known as Peripheral Artery Disease, which is defined by plaque build-up in mainly the leg arteries which restricts blood flow, causing debilitating pain. The way Dr. Z described the situation, Douglas seemed off that morning and was complaining of fatigue and chest pain. Dr. Z canceled the procedure and sent Douglas immediately to the emergency department and called a friend , an Interventional Cardiologist, who was on call that day to urgently assess him and who was able to get diagnosed and stabilized. Douglas has a rare ailment known as apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which is when the walls of the heart become thicker than they should be and this excessive thickening can cause the heart to become more stiff and leaves less room for blood to fill the heart. Douglas is now on deck for open heart surgery next week to improve his prognosis. During the show Douglas was able to ask our guest panel questions to ease his fears about the procedure and what to expect post-procedure. The Way To My Heart Nurse Practitioner Kay Smith was able to provide an in-depth explanation of Douglas' situation. Nurse Practitioner/CRNA Kathryn Walker, a former cardiac anesthesiologist, who's also CEO of Revitalist, a group of mental wellness treatment centers, walked Douglas step-by-step through what to expect from the moment he's wheeled down to the operating room clear through recovery. Dietitian Melissa Hooper (www.dietitianmelissa.com) answered Douglas' questions about how to improve his nutritional health following open heart surgery including cutting cholesterol, animal fats, and processed foods out of his diet. Also, in the show's Save My Piggies segment, Dr. John Corl, Interventional Cardiologist with Christ Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio is joined by his patient Marcia to talk about how the right doctor and "modern medicine" changed her life and made her "new" again. Marcia discusses how she was able to push through the pain associated with blocked arteries in her legs, known as peripheral artery disease, to help re-route blood flow through the body's network of collateral vessels that lay dormant until you need them to improve circulation. This collateral network kept her legs alive until she was able to find Dr. Corl through The Way To My Heart, and he was able to clear multiple severe blockages in her upper thighs and lower abdominal region. She now walks more than 10,000 steps daily.
Description: If you have been diagnosed with a form of vascular disease such as Heart Disease, plaque build-up that has the potential to restrict blood flow in the coronary arteries or Peripheral Artery Disease, which impacts the leg arteries then it is likely you have plaque build-up in other vessels in the body, especially small vessels including those that feed the prostate. In this episode, hosts Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips are joined by Board Certified Vascular and Interventional Radiologist Dr. Charles Nutting , who specializes in small vessel revascularization and prostate artery embolization (PAE), an outpatient procedure that involves the release of microscopic, plastic beads into the arteries that feed the prostate gland. We discuss who might be a candidate, the risks involved, and how to talk to your doctor about sexual dysfunction, what might be causing it, and available treatment options. A patient, Douglas, joined the conversation, sharing his personal story experiencing sexual dysfunction as a first sign of systemic vascular problems. Also, The Way To My Heart Nurse Practitioner Kay Smith shares her story of assisting in a PAE procedure for a 19-year-old who was able to have an erection for the first time in his life while still on the table after physicians completed the case. During today's show, Dr. John Phillips is broadcasting LIVE from an educational seminar for clinicians that was put together by device maker Cook Medical. Kym is LIVE from the Vascular Institute in Sacramento, California where she observed Dr. Inder Singh saving the leg of a The Way To My Heart Inc patient who was on deck for a below-the-knee amputation. Dr. Singh shares how he was able to restore additional blood flow to help heal wounds on the patient's foot.

Description: It might be odd to think that on a show about vascular health, hosts Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips are talking about fibroids, which are noncancerous growths in a woman's uterus. There is a vascular connection. First, studies show that cardiovascular risk factors were slightly more common for women with fibroids than for women without fibroids. Fibroids have been associated with hypertension and atherosclerosis, and some recommend using fibroids as a marker for future cardiovascular disease (CVD). Second, there's a minimally invasive technique to treat fibroids without surgery that's becoming more prevalent, known as Uterine artery embolization (UAE), where the blood supply of the fibroids is cut off, causing the fibroids to shrink. During this episode Kym and Dr. Phillips talk to Advanced Vascular Centers Interventional Radiologist Dr. Mary Costantino about Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE), what it is, how it's performed, its effectiveness, and when it's warranted versus the traditional and mainstream treatment using a hysterectomy, which is the physical removal of the uterus. We also discuss why UAE isn't offered to most women as an alternative to hysterectomy and how reimbursement may be a contributing factor as payers offer facilities more for the invasive versus minimally-invasive options. UAE isn't right for everyone, however. Some researchers express concern about using UAE in younger women with reproductive plans due to possible pregnancy complications down the road. But if hysterectomy is the only other alternative, which prevents even the possibility of a pregnancy, Dr. Costatino believes it's important for gynecologists to have an open, candid discussion about all available options along with the benefits and risks of each one. She contends that it is not fair to withhold the availability of UAE from patients and afford them the benefit of being able to gather all pertinent information and weigh her options. Dr. Costantino talks about how it's the women, themselves, who are actually the driving force behind the growing popularity of using UAE as an option to treat fibroids, because they're doing their homework, not wanting to be out of work with an up to six-week recovery from hysterectomy versus a small puncture in the wrist or groin as the only external entry point for treatment using UAE, that allows a woman back on her feet in days. An important takeaway that Dr. Costantino shares about fibroid treatment, is it's not something to rush into for any woman. Some women never have lifestyle-limiting symptoms or complications. But those who have lifestyle limiting symptoms including the below, should have the discussion about all treatment options with their gynecologist: Heavy menstrual bleeding. Menstrual periods lasting more than a week. Pelvic pressure or pain. Frequent urination. Difficulty emptying the bladder. Backache or leg pains. If treatment is right for you, ask your gynecologist for a referral to a surgeon who would perform a hysterectomy AND to an Interventional Radiologist who can perform a UAE so that you can best weight all available options and decide what is best for you. For more information go to Dr. Costantino's website: https://advancedvascularcenters.com/uterine-fibroids/ And to find an Interventional Radiologist in your area who may treat fibroids, go to the Society of Radiology's website: https://www.sirweb.org/ Make sure to listen to today's broadcast!
July 24th Recording - FIBROIDS w/ Dr. Patrcik Ijewere and Dr. Ninalowo (Interventional Radiologist)
The key to unlocking a club isn't just trying to get into someplace where others like you have not been allowed. It can also mean getting some THING that others like you have not previously received. In this case, adequate reproductive care. In this episode, in honor of Fibroid Awareness Month, I want to share with you not only my experience with uterine fibroids but also provide education and knowledge about the conditions of fibroids and how they should be treated. It is my honor to be in conversation about this issue with my soul sister Teresa Edwards, an international women's basketball superstar and Dr. John Lipman MD, a board-certified Interventional Radiologist and renowned authority in the non-surgical treatment of uterine fibroids.

Quote of the Day: “You have the power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” ~ Marcus Aurelius Why do my veins seem bigger in the summer? That question leads Emmy Award-winning Journalist Kym McNicholas into an in-depth discussion with co-host Interventional Cardiologist Dr. John Phillips, Hill Vascular's Vascular Surgeon Dr. Bradley hill, and world-renowned vein expert from London, Dr. Mark Whitely, about varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, and Deep Venous Thrombosis (blood clots). They talk about the reasons why only 10% of the 30 million Americans, who are estimated to have venous issues, actually get treated and what the advanced treatments are for not only superficial veins but also deep veins. A key issue in this show's discussion is types of vein issues that are merely cosmetic versus ones that indicate a more significant health risk that must be addressed. A debate also arose about the use of compression socks as frontline treatment for many venous issues and the difference in philosophy between the United Kingdom and United States. Dr. Misha Ginsberg, Interventional Radiologist at Froedtert South in Wisconsin called in after hearing the discussion to join in and share his perspective. The one critical non-negotiable when it comes to compression stockings, as expressed by Dr. Bradley Hill and agreed upon by all doctors present on the show, is for use on long flights and car rides. That's because when sedentary the leg muscles aren't contracting as effectively as they do when walking to help usher the blood back to the heart, and blood clots can develop. Listen to the show for a dynamic discussion about venous health, critical questions that should be asked of every patient who presents with vein-related symptoms, and when treatment should be sought.
The list of things to do before starting chemo includes the seemingly ordinary task of getting a port (sometimes called a medi-port). Get your blood work, pick up groceries, wash the car, get a port… But port placement is actually surgery and being unprepared for the procedure can result in some unpleasant surprises or unexpected pain. Interventional radiologist Dr. Aaron Fritts explains the procedure and answers our questions about ports, including a step-by-step walk through of the surgery, the options for sedation, and what you can and can't do with a port. Before you get a port, you'll want to hear Dr. Fritts' advice for advocating for yourself, preventing infection and how to avoid the complications he has seen when things go wrong. Links Away from patient care, Dr. Fritts leads BackTable, a medical education podcast network for doctors covering interventional radiology, vascular surgery, technology & innovation, and more.

CollaborationRA had the pleasure of sitting down with Interventional Radiologist, Dr. Moger. Together we go over his history as a Radiologist, his views on patient care, the Radiology Technologist (RT) profession, working along side various midlevel's, and discussing the Radiologist Assistant (RA) in our radiology departments. Dr. Moger, thank you for being the first Radiologist to represent the RT and RA profession through our podcast, we are hopeful it will open dialogue and help radiologist understand our roles in collaboration with the radiologist-led teams we work along side.
Dr. Aaron Fritts is a co-founder of BackTable and a practicing Interventional Radiologist in Dallas, Texas. Early in his practice, Dr. Fritts realized the need for centralized, in-depth procedure and device information that his peers could access on the fly. Not long after, BackTable was born. Backtable is a podcasting brand for physician education, which started as interventional radiology and now also includes ENT, urology and their newest podcast, innovation, for physician entrepreneurs. We talk about the origin of the backtable, where he sees it evolving, what will happen if he starts including specialties that don't have backtables and most importantly how to build a team. I have chosen to outsource everything, whereas he has slowly built his team, so this was good information for me. But, one big takeaway for me was JoinHandshake.com, so I'm eventually going to hire a premed to help me. It'll be a good experience for them, something interesting for the resume and will take some tasks off my plate. He tries to convince me to join him for the next podcast convention. I think he just wants to hang out since I come across as so much fun.

As with most any career path, interventional radiology provides more than its share of challenges and joys—and many years of hard but rewarding work. And as with any career path, the closer you get to the end of your career, the more natural it is to start wondering, “What comes next?” Surely retirement will bring its own challenges and joys, but how do you know when you're ready to retire? Will you be financially comfortable in retirement? Will you be bored? In the audio version of "Exit strategy : Career-long retirement planning for the interventional radiologist" (IR Quarterly: Fall 2017 and Spring 2018 ), authors Aubrey Palestrant, MD, FSIR, and Curtis W. Bakal, MD, MPH, FSIR, discuss how interventional radiologists should plan for retirement ... from the start of their career to its close. Read Part 1 of the article on retirement planning for the early-career IR.Read Part 2 of the article on retirement planning for the established IR.

Top Healthy Foods That Prevent & Treat Autoimmune Disease | This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers.Autoimmune diseases are a huge issue, affecting over 80 million Americans. They include type 1 diabetes, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, colitis, Crohn's disease, and dozens of others, but they all have one thing in common—the body attacks itself. Conventional medicine uses pharmaceutical drugs to treat autoimmune disease but fails to answer one simple question: Why is the body out of balance to begin with, and how do we help it regain the proper balance? Functional Medicine, on the other hand, applies a personalized approach to treating autoimmune disease providing a map to find the root cause underlying autoimmune disease. On today's episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Elroy Vojdani, the founder of Regenera Medical, a boutique Functional Medicine practice in Los Angeles, California. Upon graduating medical school from the University of Southern California and completing his residency at USC Keck School of Medicine, Dr. V began his career as an Interventional Radiologist, diagnosing and treating complex, late-stage cancers and other extremely debilitating diseases. While this experience gave him unique insights into hospital-based medicine, his desire to stop disease before it reached the point of becoming a chronic illness remained at the core of his desire to practice medicine. Today, he continues in his father's footsteps–pioneering to find answers to medical conditions that go undiagnosed and untreated. Dr. Vojdani has co-authored over 20 articles in the scientific literature and continues an integral role in research related to autoimmune, neurodegenerative, and autoinflammatory conditions. He is also the co-author of a medical textbook entitled Food Associated Autoimmunity.

If you follow good practices—you minimize the patient dose, you wear your protective clothing, you use the pull-down shields and you put the pull-down shields as close to the patient as you can—your exposures are going to be very low. —Joseph Ring, DOIn recognition of Nov. 8, the International Day of Radiology, Warren Krackov, MD, FSIR, speaks with radiation safety officer Joseph Ring, DO, about radiation safety in interventional radiology, measures IRs should be taking to protect themselves, and what medical students considering a career in interventional radiology should keep in mind.Note: This episode was recorded on Oct. 20, 2020.SIR thanks Boston Scientific for its support of this episode.Contact us with your ideas and questions, or read more about about interventional radiology in IR Quarterly magazine or SIR's Patient Center.(c) Society of Interventional Radiology.Support the show (https://www.sirweb.org/corporate-gateway/advertising/)
IR Sabeen Dhand and ENT Ashley Agan discuss management of Epistaxis, including how to effectively pack the nose, and when SPA ligation or arterial embolization are necessary. Dr. Dhand also describes his arterial embolization technique, including important pitfalls to avoid. --- EARN CME Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs: https://earnc.me/xQPc7h --- SHOW NOTES In this episode, Dr. Sabeen Dhand, an Interventional Radiologist, joins our hosts Dr. Gopi Shah and Dr. Ashley Agan to discuss epistaxis and the evaluation and management of different causes of epistaxis. Dr. Agan and Dr. Dhand start the discussion by bringing up common presentations of epistaxis from both an ENT standpoint as well as IR; with the usual presentation being initially to ENT with possible referral to IR for embolization. They then continue to speak about initial treatments for epistaxis in the ED, which entails use of pressure, Afrin, and nasal packing or cauterization. If those measures aren't sufficient, further examination in the OR may be warranted to find specific location and cause. In the case of a posterior nosebleed, usually from the sphenopalatine artery (SPA), with brisk bleeding and/or failure of ligation, SPA embolization by IR may be of use. Dr. Dhand mentions a contraindication for SPA embolization in the case of the ophthalmic artery anastomosis between the Internal Carotid Artery and External Carotid Artery due to risk of stroke and blindness. Different sources of bleeding should also be evaluated. The discussion rounds off with the summarization of initial treatment of epistaxis. Two important considerations include proper nasal packing, pushing back into the nose and not straight up, as well as avoiding compressing nasal structures and causing necrosis and further mucosal irritation increasing bleeding risk.

Session 15 This week, I speak with Dr. Fayyaz Barodawala, a community-based Interventional Radiologist from Atlanta, Georgia, about his career decisions, what an IR physician does on a daily basis, the struggles and triumphs that come along with his practice and specialties opportunities outside IR and other interesting topics like exclusive hospital contracts and artificial intelligence replacing diagnostics. [01:15] Choosing Interventional Radiology Practicing medicine since 2005, Fayyaz knew he wanted to be an Interventional Radiologist on one particular day during his third day of medical school. He initially found interest in plastic surgery, vascular surgery, and orthopedics. He had exposure to medicine growing up with his parents both physicians but it was on his third year, surgical rotation that he remembered being chewed out after having observed a surgical procedure passively for so long. During that same day, he went to see a family friend how happened to be called in for a pulmonary arteriogram and surprised at how quick the procedure was. At that point, he was considering orthopedics or radiology with the full intention of going into interventional, if he did the latter. What he likes about the field is the fact that you get to do different and relatively short procedures that make a difference and people happy. [04:10] Traits of a Great Interventional Radiologist Fayyaz says the things that make great interventional radiologists are knowledge of imaging and problem-solving. A lot of what he has to do is a lot of problem-solving. There may be defined pathways to do certain things but If they don't go as planned, then you have to improvise a lot. You have to be able to figure out how to accomplish your goal using the tools you have. A running joke during his fellowship was that IR was the last name on the chart so when everybody thinks a procedure is too high-risk for them, they'd call IRs to take care of it. IRs do so much work like put filters in, arterial work, oncologic work, spine work, etc. So they have their hands on a whole bunch of different places but problem-solving and thinking outside the box are good traits to have for Radiology. And of course, you need to know your Anatomy. [06:22] Types of Patients Interventional radiologists treat younger, healthier patients that they might see for as simple as venous access like a PICC or younger women who have heavy menstrual bleeding due to fibroids. They do uterine artery embolization. They treat veins for cosmetic and medical reasons like a vein ablation and sclerotherapy. They also treat older patients with spinal fractures for vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty. They treat a lot of oncologic patients which branches off into its whole own sub or super-specialty, even treating hepatic tumors such radio embolization, chemo embolization, or radiofrequency or microwave ablation or cryoablation. Hence, the see a full spectrum of patients who are younger and healthier to older and very, very sick. [07:32] A Typical Day for an Interventional Radiologist His current practice is less hard core and interventional than he would have liked. Bread and butter for them would be paracentesis, thoracentesis, chest port placement for chemo, various biopsies, vertebral kyphoplasty for spinal fractures. In his latest practice, he had gotten into a lot of pain management procedures such as epidural steroid injections, lumbar puncture, and myelogram. In between, he reads diagnostic imaging. Interventional radiologists do a wide variety of cases. Today, Fayyaz did paracentesis, thoracentesis, fluoroscopy, breast biopsies, and red PET scans. Other days, he could be doing a lot more like nephrostomies, biliary drainage, kyphoplasties. They're also currently ramping up their oncologic work at the new group he's in, doing ablations and radio embolizations that are starting to pick up now. Even if you're a little ADD, you can find stuff that's good because it's not monotonous. On the flip side, they do very heavy-duty cases like TIPS which do not occur as often but these cases could be longer. In their group of 4 IR doctors, they're on call every fourth so once per quarter for a weekend and random days here and there depending on the hospital setup. Fayyaz further says that if there's enough for two or three people to do full time interventional, the more interventional you want to do, the more call you have to take because in their practice, it's not full-time interventional all the time. [12:21] Work-Life Balance and Managing Expectations As reimbursements have fallen, IR does not generate as much income for the practice. Fayyaz thinks it's about managing expectations. You're better being a diagnostic radiologist if you simply want to go in there, punch a clock, and get out. There are also non-traditional options like the outpatient vascular access centers where they do dialysis interventions which are pretty regular hours. Then your work-life balance can be great. Fayyaz would describe his work-life balance as pretty good, starting work at 8 am and usually done by 4:30-4:45 pm. Diagnostic calls can be brutal but interventional calls are not as bad. Again, it's about managing expectations. If you prefer cool cases, then you might get called in the middle of the night for a G.I. bleed for instance. But if you're doing bread and butter cases, work-life balance is fine. [14:25] The Residency Path Back in the mid-90's, there was a time when internship was not required so you go right into Radiology. That changed in around 1995 when they've changed the mandate. The traditional pathway is a year of internship (surgery. medicine, pathology, transitional, pediatrics) then you do four years of Diagnostic Radiology and then one year Interventional Fellowship It's a six-year thing. The direct pathway is for the Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology-enhanced clinical track. However, this is going away in favor of a pure IR residency right now as they shift into a new paradigm that's evolving more quickly. As more and more programs go towards that, you will match into Interventional Radiology directly from medical school, which includes more clinical time, cut down the diagnostic time a bit and increase the interventional time. (The first set of programs was just approved last year. so they're just starting.) This is great if you want to do something interventional but Fayyaz is not sure how this is going to work for the private practices so he has some reservations. He further explained that a lot of these plans are placed by academics which is a really different setup than private practice. It's tough for a private practice doctor that doesn't have a ton of interventional because they're not going to be as versatile. Hence, in huge practice, it's great but in a not-huge practice, that remains to be seen. The new model is to set up your own practice just as a surgeon or cardiologist would, see patients clinically and then bring them to a hospital. But that's probably they're going to end up. In order to compete, you can't have the old model just sitting there waiting for procedures to come to you. You have to market, you have to evaluate patients and do consults which not some of the older guys are used to. [18:14] Matching for Interventional Radiology Competition for interventional radiology goes in phases. As a job, the competition has tightened as more interest is starting to happen in interventional due to the difficulty of outsourcing it. People also enjoy doing procedures so it has been incredibly competitive in the last couple of years, to the point that people are not matching for Interventional Fellowships. To be competitive for matching, you have to be a hard worker and have a mentality of saying yes almost all the time. And if you say yes all the time and then you say no, then people respect your opinion. Be willing to get your butt kicked for a while so you will be ready to handle everything that comes at you. Other things that can make you competitive are being innovative, being able to do problem-solving, knowing the imaging, being clinical, willing to constantly learn new things, and understanding that there are things you don't know so just be able to take in what you can and learn as you go afterwards. Fayyaz doesn't necessarily believe that scores tell everything. It's one tool for weeding but it shouldn't be the only tool. Fayyaz went to a program where research was not a priority but if you're looking at research-heavy programs, it depends on what your goal is. If your goal is academic research and publish, then look for a program that can cultivate and nurture that. If you want to be a work horse, then you want something that gives you more clinical training. During his residency, there were very few Fellows so they had to do a ton as a resident. It's nice to have a highly resident-centric program when you're a resident and a very fellow-heavy program when you're a fellow. Nevertheless, research is important in helping the interventionalist. A lot of procedures are pioneered by radiologists but as they get more commonplace and more routinely and more lucrative, other specialties start snipping away at it so you're going to be experiencing turf battles. For instance, a lot of people might be fighting for a cerebral angiogram which can be done by interventional radiologist or a vascular surgeon, a neurologist, and neurosurgeons. [24:47] Bias Against DOs Fayyaz worked in New York hospital that had a deep Radiology residency DO program and would be joking to them about how MDs couldn't go into the DO programs and DOs could go into the MD program. On a serious note, he doesn't really see any distinct bias but it's there for some other people. [26:50] Special Opportunities for Sub-Specialties Some interventionalists would like to do peripheral arterial but that’s contentious because different specialties have gotten involved and everybody wants to do it thinking it's cool and reimbursements can be very high. Some people work with vascular surgeons and even joined vascular practices. But the big thing right now is Interventional Oncology and that's where everybody wants to get into. It involves stuff like radio embolization, chemotherapies, and various regimens. Other people do Neuro Interventional which typically requires a Neuro Radiology Fellowship and then Neuro IR Some also get involved in Stroke Intervention. There is some overlap between Neuro Intervention and IR next. You can also do Pediatric Interventional Fellowship. [28:48] Working with Primary Care and Other Specialties Speaking of clinical IR and not waiting for people to refer to you, Fayyaz meant not waiting for a vascular surgeon or cardiologist or somebody else to refer to you. Peripheral vascular disease, for example, are marketed successfully by primary care physicians to family practice, internal medicine, pediatrists. He's not sure if they really understand exactly what IRs do which has been a problem for them because they're not aware of the services they offer. IRs hundreds of chest ports and they could probably do even better than surgeons sometimes as backed by evidence. They could do it faster and cheaper. So IRs do more than just that, they do biopsies, spine interventions, peripheral arterial, biliary stuff and those people thought as surgical procedures. They also do fibroid embolization, venous disease, and gastrostomy in so all these things can be done. What feels frustrating is they sometimes feel just as a back up and they're only sought for because no one else is available to do it. It would be nice to have a great relationship between the primary physician and the IR. Check what IRs are doing because you might be surprised what the interventionalist can do for you. Other specialties Interventional Radiologists work the closest with include Oncology, Orthopedics, Hospital/Critical Care. Fayyaz says the best way would be an alliance between vascular surgery and radiology and interventional competing against cardiology. [33:05] Diagnostic Radiologists Replaced with A.I. Interestingly, Fayyaz mentioned that there have been thoughts of merging Diagnostic Radiology and Pathology into one specialty. The argument is that given it's a lot of pattern recognition on the diagnostic side, those should be handled by computers and the physician would be instead be involved in the management. I personally believe that within 20 years, radiologists are going to be replaced with AI for diagnostic purposes. Fayyaz agrees it may come and could be scary. But there is a lot of grey zone for now. If computers could just highlight findings of questionable significance and let somebody go through it then that would be helpful in making their job faster and better. [37:00] Other Special Opportunities Outside of IR Radiologists have a lot of unique opportunities since they interact with a lot of specialties. They can be very strong in administration. Fayyaz adds that IRs are somewhat anchors for the group in the hospital because they're providing a lot of coverage that can't be easily outsourced. Again, it's important to not wait for things to come to you but to be out there somewhat marketing yourself, being available, getting your face shown so people know who you are and getting up there. If you're in the academics, you can get into the consulting industry. [39:37] Exclusive Hospital Contracts & Diagnostic versus Interventional Radiology What he wished he knew before going into Interventional Radiology is that you're being behold into a hospital for contract. One of the difficult things is that as people break off and form their own interventional practices, the model for Radiology is typically within exclusive contract so the group may have an exclusive contract in the hospital. So even if the IR guy is new to the city, you might be able to find a place to do your procedures since the radiology group in the hospital may block you from getting any privileges there. If you want to bring a peripheral arterial case into the hospital for instance, they'll block you from doing it because they would say they have an exclusive contract yet the cardiologist or the vascular surgeon who does the same thing and wants to get into the hospital can come in. Second, Fayyaz recognizes the difficulties in interaction between the diagnostic and interventional physicians because they have to realize that in order to build a good clinical practice, you do need some clinical time. But it can be very hard for the diagnostic people to see that and find that time but they have to realize that builds their credibility. Third, there are options to do some of the interventional stuff not through Interventional Radiology residency or fellowship but other fields can chomp at your toes but that keeps you fresh and innovative. [42:33] The Best and the Worse Things About an IR Fayyaz loves helping people through their tough times and being there to help them and see them get better. He likes that he can calm somebody down and loves how quick the procedures can be and people get to see the results fast. He would love to expand his practice and get into the cosmetic side of IR or expand in Oncology. overall, seeing his patients get better is the most gratifying. The least thing he likes about being an IR is getting dumped on with cases other specialties are not willing to do. As frustrating as it seems, you can't let it get to you. In general, radiologists are happy and they do what they do. They can always find a niche depending on what you really want to do. If he were to choose another specialty again, Fayyaz doesn't actually know considering his interest in plastic surgery. Although Interventional Radiology could still be on top of his list, he could not deny the difficulties and risks related to doing private practice although that could depend on your geographic location. Overall, he likes what he does but some parts can be very frustrating specifically, the exclusive contracts and being behold into a hospital. However, Fayyaz sees that over the next ten years, more and more exclusive contracts will fall and you will get that new model where two or three interventionalists get together to bring cases in and not have a group that blocks you from being in a hospital. [49:25] Last Words from Fayyaz Do what you like and don't try to chase it because you think there will be a job afterwards. If you don't like it, don't do it. Second, try to spend time with somebody in that field or at least talk to them to see what their life is really like. Third, see what life is like after and see if this is something you can really do. Realize that a lot of practices may not be all high-powered cases all the time. Tap into resources to learn more about the kind of procedures we do. You're going to have to weigh money, time off, location, case mix, and with all those together, you would have to find the best mix and adjust the dials to where you can live with something and say this is good. There is no perfect job ever. You don't let people tell you no. If they say no then find a way to do it and give it a shot. Links: MedEd Media Network
In this weeks episode, I speak to Dr. Ted Barnett, aka. Dr. Veggie. Ted is an Interventional Radiologist in Rochester, NY. By and large, a lot of what he does day in and day out is an attempt to counter the bad effects of people's diets and lifestyles. He is the high tech doctor with low tech solutions and believes all doctors, especially those who perform procedures, should spend at least part of each day trying to put themselves out of business. Dr. Barnett is one of those doctors who's done so much for lifestyle medicine yet you've probably never heard of him. I'm so glad I am able to bring a guy like Dr. Barnett onto the Podcast because he deserves more recognition than he has gotten. He's a self-less individual driven to make people healthier by providing evidenced based information and by treating the root cause of their chronic ailments. He is leading the charge in putting Rochester, NY on the map as a hub for plant-based and lifestyle medicine and wants to ultimately make Lifestyle Medicine mainstream medicine.
