Society of Interventional Radiology

So we're working really hard on all this.

We just presented data on the Society of Interventional Radiology meeting in April on looking at venograms and looking at intravascular ultrasounds and exactly what the criteria were that correlated best to positive outcomes.

And that was in a very large number of patients because even the current teaching is in pretty small trials.

So, you know, number one staffer was starting to try to raise money for research.

The American Urologic Association recognizes PAE as a supported, minimally invasive surgical therapy.

The Society of Interventional Radiology also recognizes PAE as a durable alternative to TURP.

Together, these endorsements provide reassurance that PAE is a well-established, effective, and safe option for appropriate selected patients with BPH.

Now, I'm going to turn this over to an interview with Dr. Iyagari as part of my CME.com educational series on PAE, where he's going to actually take you through the procedure, how he does it, and kind of explain it in great detail, plus show a lot of nice pictures.

Because healthy tissues often rely on different vascular systems, TACE can precisely target cancer cells while minimising collateral damage.

For this reason, leading medical societies such as the American College of Radiology and the Society of Interventional Radiology recommend TACE as a standard option in selected patients with unresectable or treatment-resistant tumours.

When TACE is used, indications and contraindications.

Chemoembolisation procedure is most often used in advanced stage cancers, where traditional surgery or systemic therapy is no longer effective, but the tumour is still accessible through its arterial blood supply.
